  • The sandstone wilderness of the southwestern deserts makes a perfect destination for a wandering photographer. Ancient sand dunes, frozen in time time now rise in sloping forms of distinctive shape, line and texture. Both physically challenging and mentally renewing at the same time, isolation allows one to focus and recharge the creative powers.

  • Virgin River sunset, Gold Butte Territory<br />
Historic and beautiful Gold Butte is bounded on the west by the Virgin River, slowly meandering through the Mormon Mesa in northern Clark County. Water is the lifeblood of the western desert and in this image, that flowing life reflects a brilliant sunset in the spring of the year. Home to desert tortoises, coyote, quail, road runners, petroglyphs and the elusive but well-adapted Bundy cattle herd, miners, hunters, hikers and photographers now freely roam the fascinating geology of the desert range.

  • When winter hands off to spring with just the right conditions, seeds from wildflower annuals soften their coats, swell and germinate after having waited sometimes for years. Then the miracle of renewal occurs and the desert blooms in glory for a few wonderful weeks.

  • Pray for Peace and hope to all today . . . <br />
Matthew 26:28 ". . . Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin:<br />
29 And yet I say unto you, That even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these."

  • With a grand scale of contrast, Schwabacher's Pond on the Snake River is usually presented in color photographs. Here, the natural grand scale of contrast deserves a monochrome version.

  • The Desert Star blooms in the early spring wave of annual wildflowers, preferring open sandy soil with gentle drainage. They're darn cute and in the category of 'belly flowers.'
    Desert Star (Monoptilon Bellioides)
  • The American West is home to many dune systems, none more appealing than those found in Death Valley National Park.
    The Power Curve
  • The evening primroses in the desert are often found along with sand verbena and other blooming annuals.

  • This view is one of the morning after an overnight snow storm in harsh, desert wilderness and an awakening to a new day at sunrise. There's more though; this is a remarkable collision of land forms and desert use areas just north of Las Vegas. Visible in the frame ( and in the photographer's view all around) are portions of the following: Nellis AFB bombing and gunnery range, Southern Nevada Paiute reservation lands, the Sheep mountain range, the Spring Mountain range, the Desert National Wildlife Refuge, the Desert View Environmental Recreation Area, the desert combat training facility, the Three Lakes Valley and the US Highway 95 corridor.
