Album Deserts

[westy]

I have always been a desert lover. The kaleidoscope of colors. The prickly, snaggy, clothes and flesh ripping flora. The crazy critters. How about a desert album ? One for all seasons. From high on peaks and ridges, and in the bottom of cracks in the earth .

Colorado Plateau.




Sonoran.




Great Basin.




Mojave.

A few years back a friend of mine who was just discovering her photographic muse went with me to Coral Pink Sand Dunes State Park. We got all artsy with the flow of the dunes.
