Ely, NV - Ward Charcoal OvensA total of 5 ovens operated for just 3 1/2 years, making charcoal for silver smelting. When the silver ran out, the site was abandoned. Eventually it became a Nevada State Park.Jul 25, 2020

Top-Down View of a Small Barrel-Type CactusNear Saguarita, AZ, on one of our many day trips, we sought out Saguaro Cactus to photograph. We did not find a great many, but we were not bored! This was a small barrel-type cactus about 18 inches tall, and probably about 12-15 inches across, depending on whether you count the spines or not.Jul 03, 2020

Really Big Barrel CactusNear Saguarita, AZ, on one of our many day trips, we got lucky and found this near the road. Lucky, because it was behind a barbed wire fence that looked as nasty as the spines on this cactus.Jul 02, 2020

Dry Lake Sunset ShowerA brief rain shower blew in as we were photographing the incredible sunset colors at the nearby dry lake bed. The sun had just gone down, and the light was changing really rapidly. This shot is not all that good, but it is the best of many, so I kept it.Jul 01, 2020

Lower Ryholite Trail bound for Heart of RocksThis trail wound up the Lower Ryholite Canyon of Chiricahua National Monument. These views predominated, especially on the uppper portion of the hike.Jun 04, 2020

Views in Chiricahua National Monument We hiked the Lower Rhyolite Canyon trail to the junction with the Sarah Deming trail, bound for the Heart of Rocks. We never made it that far, prudently saving enough energy for the return home to the ranger station. These views lined the trail we did hike though, and made the hike worthwhile.Jun 03, 2020
