Travels
Walking Path
I thought I had lost these photos from my DC trip last year. Here’s a walking path between the Pioneer Farm to the Ox Pen at Mt. Vernon.
Praying Mantis
Praying Mantis found on the Mt. Vernon estate on my trip to DC last year.
Moss Covered Boulders
Reaching into my archives from one of my runs into Yosemite last year. Wandered along the Merced River for this photo. I really liked the mossy boulders.
Etiwan Fertilizer
I took this photo last year while visiting Old Town Alexandria. It is now the home of the Christmas Attic but used to be an old tobacco warehouse.
Veteran’s Day
On this day we remember all those that have served in our armed forces to protect our freedom.
Don’t Mind Us, Just Passing Through
A few Avocets just passing through the flock of Ross’ Geese
Morning Stretch
This little ground squirrel came out of its burrow and did a series of stretches for me.
Gruesome Find
Traveling home one afternoon, I spotted a bunch of turkey vultures on the side of the road. I pulled over to see what they fighting over, and this was my gruesome find.
Desert Tarantula
Thirty species are found in the Southwest, but the one most often seen is Aphonopelma chalcodes, commonly known as the desert tarantula. The tawny females have a leg span of about 5 inches. Males are slightly smaller, darker and more slender, and are often seen trudging determinedly across the desert on summer evenings.
