This California Barrel Cactus has a wonderful defense system, you don’t dare touch it! This is an iPhone photo from a short walk this afternoon in my neighborhood. Another sunny, warm, and blue sky day.😎

It’s been perfect weather for walking, so I’ve been walking my neighborhood instead of driving anywhere. It’s kind of hard to believe that tomorrow’s weather will be one hundred percent different with rain showers and slightly cooler temperatures.

Could this be an actual Martian I’ve captured?

Big Views, Cacti and A Closed Play Area

Here’s another children’s play structure that has been locked down. I hate this damn virus, it’s stolen so much from all of us. Just don’t go playing around in the Barrel Cacti, children… The view of the foothills was taken from the upper deck walkway, looking west. The two-fifteen freeway is in front of those tightly-packed homes. That’s how we do it here, my home is very close to my neighbors on either side. Squish!

Here are a few more photos that were taken yesterday, I hope your day will be as sunny as it is here in Las Vegas today! I have no plans for the day except the pot of fresh chili I whipped up at seven AM today, yummy!

Beer is delicious!

They eyes are watching you…

I don’t know what kind of plant this is…

Good afternoon! I got out of the house once again today as cabin fever is closing in around my throat you could say. It’s just too damn beautiful outside to be stuck indoors. I snapped around sixty-five photos there today, here is the first set. I hope you like these, it’s my first time using the Nikon Z6 in this location.

This photo was taken a few days ago, I swapped out the color for some grunge and an oil painted effect.

An Angel Over The Desert

Last eve I was having a cold one in the backyard and noticed this very large white angel, flying so high over the Mojave Desert. Do you believe in angels? I sure do! The other photo was taken two days ago near Bonnie Springs Ranch, or what’s left of it. I think another ride into the desert is in order, and soon!

They Better Notta!

They better not have! I came across this terrible sight the other day while getting some recent photos of the Joshua trees. Why? Why the hell do this? If they were actually ignited in this location, it’s a miracle that the desert wasn’t set afire! It’s still true, folks, some folk have zero gray matter inside that skull… I added another sunset photo, and a couple of photos taken the other day when I came upon that box of spent fireworks.
