This year, while not the greatest blooming year in the last five or so, was a year for large spreads of flowers in the fields. I usually don't get to see so much single color in a patch or as much as a large area like this.

Also appearing briefly amongst the Paintbrushes are: Queen Anne's Lace (white patchy bits in foreground), Claret Cups (those lavendery fuchsia things sprinkled in the back) a couple a Saddle Blankets (orange-yellow mid background) as well as a few False Daisies and some Prickly Poppies (pale yellow and white in the background).

This little rascal chittered and scolded me to no end while he swished his tail and followed me from tree to tree. Most unusual.

I can look at clouds all day. In fact, I've done it on more than one occasion. The subtle lines and motions, the imagery you can see -- totally worth

Trying out another camera for the first time, really. A Canon. This is an image of a large Mesquite tree near our pond, reflected at sunset.

This is a more zoomed-in image from this morning's sunrise. If you look closely, you can still see (this is the 2nd uploaded photo of this sunrise) t
