You never know who you'll find in the Valley

REI did not recommend it, but I didn't listen!

On four legs, still.

Three legged creatures everywhere.

Remnants of a nautilus.

Tempting the mountain gods.

Tight Ass Canon as it is known among the initiated.

Light changes by the minute and by the angle, as the sun comes in low from the south-west.

Oooops, never sneeze in the canon.

Moses would have liked this one!

The boulders are getting bolder and bolder.

Muddy walls speak of water passed.

Oddly enough the sun finds its way into the gorge, time and time again

If you get too cold, after all its winter .............

Or climb on up high.

Snow on the far mountains bodes relief to the drought stricken valley.

Some of the palms do well, others perish.

There is always some old machinery to be found

.

Datepalms aren't doing as well as they used to.

Hope springs eternal, though there were no wild flowers this year. It is getting colder again.

Never could resist a back lighting shot.

Natural formations everywhere.

Close up and personal.

A peanut will buy you a model in these parts.

Photo-man.

Brotherhood

All's well
that ends, .........well?
