Yerba Mansa II

These flowers are usually white, and unattractive (in my opinion) but in the summer and fall they turn a beautiful red and loose their petals.  Photo taken at Ash Meadows National Wildlife Refuge in Amargosa Valley, Nevada. As always, questions, comments, and critiques are welcome.

China Ranch Badlands

I love the geology going on this photo. If you look closely, there are two mountain ranges meeting right in the middle. The lighter mountain, is the remnants of an old lake bed and looks to be made up of quartz sandstone, whereas, the darker mountain contains quite a few types of igneous rocks. This photo was taken at the China Ranch Date Farm, in Tecopa California As always, comments, questions, and critiques are welcome

I accidently deleted this post, so I am re-uploading it. Sorry Guys!

Lemons

Just experimenting with the manual settings on my new camera. I realize that fruit and water is not exactly original but I am delightfully happy with the results.  I love lemons as well. I could drink lemonade, lemon flavored sparkling water, and eat lemon cookies, lemon pies, and lemon tarts all day, everyday.

Summer Breeze

Photo taken at Ash Meadows National Wildlife Refuge, in Amargosa Valley, Nevada. I'm not quite sure what sort of flower this is. It looks to me, to be some sort of desert daisy but I am not too sure.  As always, comments, critiques, and questions are welcome.

Desert

Photo taken at Ash Meadows National Wildlife Refuge in Amargosa Valley, Nevada. I just love how blue and clear the water is at Ash Meadows. Yes, this natural spring is in the middle of the Mojave desert. As always critiques, comments, and questions are welcome.

Pupfish

The little guy featured in the photo is an Amargosa Pupfish. They are tiny, little fish that seem to dwell just fine in the desert oasis of Ash Meadows. I am a bit nervous about this upload since, this type of photography is something completely new to me. I took this photo on land, looking down at the water; which is all I could to do with my camera (I would have loved to have shot this photo underwater).  Fun Fact: When the Amargosa pupfish are mating, the males shine brightly in the water with a beautiful blue shimmer.  As always questions, comments, and critiques are welcome.  Photo taken at Ash Meadows Wildlife Refuge in Amargosa Valley, Nevada.

Hey Jude

Some alkali heliotropes I found along a path. This is by far the favorite of the photos, I have taken today.  Taken at Ash Meadows Wildlife Refuge. As always, questions, comments, and critiques, are always open.

Pink Rose

Ah rose bushes... so pretty. I can't wait until I get my own home to plant some of these. Comments and Critiques are appreciated.

Milo

This is my doggy Milo. He was on the ground wiggling around trying to scratch his back and I managed to capture this. Looks like he smiling and just being very derpy doesn't it? This photo seems to capture his personality pretty well. He is fat, happy, and adorably derpy.  Milo is a 9-10 year old Bagel (Basset hound/ beagle mix) to all those who are curious . I just love the light striking tutorial I found. I might just make more of my photos look like this.  Comments and critiques are always appreciated.

Mac n' Cheese

Man, I really need to start waking up earlier so I can use natural sunlight for my photos.  Oh btw, I used a package of the the kraft home-style macaroni and cheese to make this dish. I'd love to get the ingredients together one day and make homemade mac&cheese , I think it would probably taste a lot better. Comments and critiques are welcome and much appreciated.
