I challenge all other trekkers out there to guess where this picture was taken! I will give you that it was taken in California.

Going to Joshua Tree National Park
I decided to go against my gut yesterday and I was glad. When I went to bed Saturday night, I had planned to go to one of two places on Sunday to do some photography. I was planning on going to either Cajon Pass/Mormon Rocks or Joshua Tree National Park. I woke up Sunday, peaked

Whitewater River – October 3, 2010
Just drove back from Joshua Tree. When I passed the Whitewater exit on I-10, I was able to get a quick glance out the window. The River was really flowing. More than I have ever seen it flow. I was not able to get off and explore. I especially wonder what it was like over

Wonderland
Shades of green, turquoise and red — here and there a streak of pale lavender — Rainbow Basin is aptly named.

Whitewater Canyon
In her post about Whitewater Canyon and River, Lynn Bremner mentions how her frequent passing of the “Whitewater” exit sign on I-10 drew her to explore the Canyon.

A Tortoise Tale
“What should we do?” “I don’t know.” “I don’t know either. I don’t want him hurt, but we cannot spend the whole day here.” The man slung his camera over his shoulder. I guess he was done taking my picture for the moment. “Look how cute he is. I guess its a he.” “We never
Early Las Vegas Memories
Sometimes business can turn into pleasure which was the case for me when I conducted some personal business with Helen Holloway and her son Jason. Helen was born in 1920 and is currently 90 years old. She was born Helen Blanding, daughter of Harry and Irene Blanding of Las Vegas, Nevada. Las Vegas is slightly
