8 legs

The creatures of the desert vary from large to small. The small fellow was crawling between some rocks in Berdoo Canyon on the way to Joshua Tree National Park. There really is something magic about the desert.

Desert Dog

Winter is a special place in the desert, especially if you are a desert dog like ours.

Ants

There are a lot of these little fellows out in the desert. Even with so many, it's tough getting a good photo. I'm sure I'll do better than this one but it's a start.

Solitary Tree

There is an amazing subtle beauty to the desert. This lone tree, against the skyline, represents the tenacity and beauty of life in the desert.

Joshua Jeep Trip

One of the great things about being in this area is the number of terrific backcountry jeep roads that are near. This is a photo of our jeep in Joshua Tree National Park after a wild and wooley 4WD trip up Berdoo Canyon. Yikes what a road and what a great trip.

Desert Snow

Winter in the desert is unlike anything you may have seen. We are located at the interface of the Sonoran and the Mojave deserts. Technically we are in the low Mojave desert. The mountain you see in the background is San Jactinto. We are in the desert about 17 miles away. It is warm here and cold there. Quite a contrast. I love it!!!!

Salton Sea

First an apology for waiting so long to update my blog. Trixi and I have been on location near the Salton Sea of Southern California for the last year making an environmental documentary about the plight of the Salton Sea. It is truly an amazing and wonderful place. If you are so inclined you can click HERE to find out more. The Salton Sea is truly a photographer's paradise.
