Guess where I was?  

There'll be more to come, within the next several days.

Keys View...

This image was taken during Thanksgiving weekend, 2019.  I used my Nikon D7200 to capture this view of the Coachella Valley.  We drove as close to Keys View as we could, but the remainder of the road was closed due to snow.

The Amazing Contrasts In The Desert...

Notice the contrasting shades - light and dark- in this drone image that was taken over the El Paso Mountains.

Happy New Year!

It's been a hectic Christmas season for me.  Besides the usual holiday business - shopping, decorating, and seeing family, I had to purchase a new vehicle so that I could continue my desert exploration. 

So, I purchased a new Subaru Forester- and I donated my old Jeep Grand Cherokee to charity.  The vehicle had over 300,000 miles on it, and as one might imagine, I was feeling a little uncomfortable taking it on long trips.

I did find time to take the Forester up into the hills near Lytle Creek on New Year's Day.  That's when I shot the image shown above, with my drone.

Here's to more exploration!
