Vanilla planifolia vine. I find it very ironic that "vanilla" has become synonymous "plain" and dare I say boring? Vanilla is exotic in so many ways. For starters, it is an orchid. But it is not just any orchid. The seed pods are the source for vanilla extract which is an amazing flavoring commonly used in ice cream, cookies and cakes. It has even been used as a perfume. The orchid family is huge but very few of them are vines. I love the regular pattern this Vanilla vine zigzags up this tree. So even when it is not in bloom, Vanilla planifolia is anything but vanilla.

Late afternoon sun accentuates the multiple scales of sand textures- ripples, waves, ridges, dips, and grains. Footprints across the bottom of the dune towards the middle provides some scale to the scene. (see mikegreenimages.com/2012/10/03/musings-on-obfuscating-sca... for interesting musings on scale in landscape shots)

The dunes are the result of sand blown from an ancient lake bed in the rift valley to the west (left of the photo), and occasional strong winds blown from mountain passes in the Sangre de Cristos from the east. The combination of these opposing winds has built up the dunes to heights of over 700 feet (200 m) above the valley floor.
