Another one from Petit Jean State Park in Arkansas. I wasn't going to post this since it doesn't look like much in the postage stamp size, but I like it so if you look at the large size you can seen the details of the lichen on the rock. I might have had to jump the safety fence on the bluff to get low enough to get this so don't tell anybody.

Wherever there are rocks on a coastline, you will almost certainly find Rock Pipits. A bit more abundant and widespread during winter they are largely absent from the gentle southeastern coasts during breeding

Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area was beautiful after a foot of snow fell 2/21/19. This is looking toward the Spring Mountains. Cactus, yucca and joshua trees are all covered.

Rare to snow here (near Las Vegas), I know many are harboring bad feelings towards the white stuff this time of year - this is rare, not a normal winter storm.

It was a beautiful late afternoon walk, with stunning skies.

Cathedral Rock is a natural sandstone butte on the Sedona skyline and one of the most-photographed sights in Arizona. After a weekend drive around Northern Arizona, Sedona was my last stop before heading home to San Diego. While I'm happy that I finally got a decent reflection photo of Cathedral Rock, it certainly wasn't the easiest reflection photo that I have ever taken. Steady winds over 10 mph made this an exercise in patience, desire and persistence. DSC_5650A
