Three of the ten Cadillacs that make up part of the Cadillac Ranch art installation near Amarillo, Texas.
These squirrels would do anything, as you can see, to eat the bird seeds! One would climb the feeder & all the spills below would also be quickly eaten up! Poor birds, I've moved the feeder since so the birds could eat their fill, lol =) Best viewed large.
Arches NP Utah
Three Gossips is a mid-sized sandstone tower (about 350 feet at its tallest wall) sitting atop a roundish pedestal within the Courthouse Towers "cluster" that also includes The Argon Tower, The Organ, Tower Of Babel, Sheep Rock, and The Lamb. The name no doubt comes from a slight resemblance of the formation to three heads "gossiping" to each other.
The tower has three flat and distinct summits: North, Middle, and South - all of approximately the same height. The North summit (probably the largest) is split by a wide chimney - a small jump gets you from one half of it to the other. Several published routes access the North and South summits (see Routes Overview section below); no routes are currently listed in published guidebooks for the Middle summit (but I thought that rap slings might have been visible on it).
Summit elevation of 4800 feet is a rough estimate based on information on a Topozone map.
DON’T SPOIL THE SOIL!
Much of the SE Utah desert including the Arches National Park is home to Cryptobiotic Soil Crust. Watch where you step as this stuff is extremely sensitive and this “stuff” is also what’s keeping erosion at bay on hillsides. The NPS recommends using established trails, sandstone slabs, and/or sandy washes for your foot travel throughout the park. For further information see the many links provided by Dr. Brian Jenkins: link 1, link 2, link 3, link 4, link 5, link 6
While on the topic, don’t soil the soil either! Don’t be a filthy animal and pack out your solid waste!
This week’s photo challenge was THREE. I made some different photos and I like the one of the little swans near my house best! The 2 adult swans had 6 small swans, so it took a while (and a few days) to get the right picture, with only 3 little swans on it. In black and white it worked best.

Title: Three Little Swans
A storm rolled through as I pulled in and I grabbed my camera for the show. To the astute observer, there will be something odd with these shots. :-)
I was shooting the Three Sisters formation in Goblin Valley State Park in Utah in the late afternoon when up walked a herd of pronghorn antelope. It was pretty cool as the pronghorn usually run away when they see me and my camera.

I saw those three trees on the flank of a hill back in January in Damüls on an evening walk. They stand in a triangle on this empty slope in the shadow, while the clouds in the background are hit by the light of the setting sun.
