A sign my sister made years ago, hand-painted with red acrylic paint. The wood etched away around the letters, and this is what remains several years later.
The high desert is a place filled with a variety of plants and geological formations. Right now, we are in the 4 Corners area, about 20 miles outside of Durango, Colorado. Here is a plant I found underneath the pinon and juniper trees.
A couple of things about this photo. 1) It is a seriously intense crop. 2) I enlarged it by 300%. Click on it to see it in all its glory. Whaddya think of the enlargement?
