This guy is Charlie McCarthy, I did a little bit more processing on him this morning, now he looks like a child. 😂

Tree Skin
The textures of the Mexican Fan Palm are nothing like the Deciduous tree. The Nikkor 24/200mm lens works pretty well as a macro lens doesn’t it? Our weather is going to heat up next week to around 112 degrees but just 97 degrees for today. There are plenty of people in Las Vegas that really do love this much heat on a daily basis.
Desert Roads
Stay Single?
I pass this sign occasionally and have photographed it before but my Nikon wanted another photo. This sign kinda grinds my gears since I’m three-times divorced and will remain single until the day I kick the bucket. It’s cheaper in terms of both money and one’s sanity! A girlfriend? I’ve been all by myself for five years now… It’s a peaceful life.
Anyway, I was driving to near the south end of the valley for some Ham Radio parts for my truck radio. It’s only in the low 90s today but we have a very high wind warning until 8PM this eve and man is that wind howling now!
The Stratosphere Tower is a long way away…
June 8th Sunset
Nothing spectacular but still nice. After the sun sets on a 100+ degree day, the sometimes strong breeze can feel wonderful, perfect for relaxing in the backyard under dancing palm trees. Today’s forecast is for 93 degrees and sunshine, basically perfect in this Vegas Local’s opinion!
Palm Tree Love
These beauties are in my backyard but they need serious pruning next month… 🌴
Rock Pigeon Feast!
Pulling into a parking lot this morning, this huge group of Rock Pigeons caught my eye. I swung the truck around and snapped these photos. You can see a large number of small seeds on the pavement, I didn’t see who tossed the seed out but the birds were battling for every morsel! Today is sunny, breezy with 93 degrees, very nice!
Landscape and Sky
The Vase
Here is a different version of the Navajo pottery on my dining room table. I used Photoscape X, Aurora HDR, and Impresso to convert the photo to this look. Click on the pic.
Snowy Foothills
These photos are from last winter, and today promises 97 degrees. Gladly, the snow rarely makes it into the valley!
Quackers and Coots
These cute critters were photographed at a local park with man-made lakes. The Coots are so different with their little chirping sounds and very odd-looking feet. ❤️
A Beautiful Day
This hot afternoon I took a short ride and captured this one scene with a 6000-foot mountain in the distance and several Mexican Fan Palms. The current temp is 100F. Mojave Desert love! 🌴🔥🌵🌞
The Colourful City
More beautiful albeit a bit fuzzy skies over my adopted city. 🌴🌵🌞🔥
More Navajo Vase Photos
Here are the remaining vase photos from yesterday’s very bored photo shoot. my spell check doesn’t like how I wrote this sentence, too bad! It’s 91 degrees at 9:30 AM with 104 degrees up soon. Pretty cool, eh? 😂🌴
Home Decor
Here is another late eve shoot in my home. Boredom, eh? 😂 Lots of processing here…
