Close-up view of beavertail cactus, Death Valley National Park.
Many of the photographs that I brought back from Death Valley last week feature the grand, immense scale of the landscape — which is only nature given the, well, grand, immense scale of the landscape of the place. Today I’ll take a break from those images and look share something on much smaller scale — a cactus-scape, if you will. This is a very close view of a small portion of a beavertail cactus. As I worked on landscape photography in this location I realized that these cacti were everywhere, so I soon switched to a different camera with a macro lens.
This subject may bring up the question: will this be a “super-bloom” year? I don’t have a definitive answer to that, but I’ll share a few observations. I have heard that above-average rainfall in about the November time frame supports those extraordinary spring blooms. That did not happen this year. But there was rain — quite heave and even damaging rain — much earlier in the season, and there was some additional rainfall during the December-January period. I did see some very young shoots of new plants already starting to pop up in a few promising areas. My bet? No super-bloom, but more of a good to better-than-average year for wildflowers.

The “scape_lands“ is a readymade-fotowork series developed since 2010.
The theme is the hermetical law of correspondence (we exist in all planes, astral as well as physical) I discovered the scape_lands in the urban environments, the streets of Berlin.

Big red mountain under blue sky and clouds... Can you see the snow-capped peaks? :-)

The Sahara Sands were making their yearly appearance
again after coming across the Atlantic from Africa. The sand
in the atmosphere makes the sunsets a little more intense.

Here is a much more unusual than normal pose from a Yellow-Collared Scape Moth. You seldom get to see the wings open...at least I haven't.

I'm usually not a big fan of images with a 'blown-out' sun...
but sometimes I will make an exception if they have other
decent defining nice elements...and in this case it is the
wetland water and vegetation texture. Thanks for looking.
