Color, Grayscale and Black and White
The Nikon takes a shot at its reflection in the 1910 Mitchell in Michigan the other day. 84 degrees and a sunny sky are in store for the valley today. What shall I do today? Maybe just take a long ride around the valley or drive down the Strip? What do you think?
iPhone Magic
I made an oops when I mentioned that there were no more Seven Magic Mountain photos. These were snapped on the way back to the truck, the iPhone did a darn nice job, didn’t it? I’ve been getting my things packed up for tomorrow’s departure for Michigan, it will be so good to see my family!
The Last Of The Brilliant Colors
That’s it, no more photos of the Seven Magic Mountains. I had to flip one to grayscale of course…

Another Sunset Photo and The Gloomy Desert
Yes, just one more sunset photo last eve, the colors are popping nicely in this one too. I did a great job of dirtying up Rainbow Mountain too, thanks to Photoscape X on the MacBook.It’s been beautiful today with the temperature hanging around 70 degrees, I’ve been pruning the bushes out front throughout the day. All that’s left to be done is to scuffle hoe the rocks to make them look less sunk into the ground around the palm tree.
Lonely Desert Road
All alone, surrounded by thousands of square miles of Mojave Desert…
Hercules Engines
On the way into the mountains yesterday, I saw this very large and rusty 6-cylinder gas engine as I passed by and stopped to photograph it on the way down. There is no indication of what the engine was powering but it’s been here for a long time. A quick search showed lots of history for this engine, this link will tell you more.
Mount Charleston Baptist Church
I love this little church, it looks so rustic and blends in beautifully with the surrounding mountains. I created a version that looks very aged, perhaps 100 years or so old. This church has appeared in this space in 2019 too.
Two Hours in The Desert
I left the house around ten-thirty this morning to head west out of the city for the usual places I love to visit. The Yucca seen in these photos now has the seed pods as do the Joshua trees. Those photos are yet to be processed, as are the squirrel photos. This time, I have actual seeds that the squirrels and birds can eat instead of peanuts. It’s currently 79 degrees and full sunshine this afternoon, just right!
Big City Life
This is Sahara Avenue looking east with the Stratosphere Tower looming large a few miles away. Sunshine and 81 degrees are the forecasts for today, not bad! Have you heard about the body in a barrel, found in Lake Mead recently due to the low water level? So sad. It has apparently been there since the late 70s or early 80s. No crime can be covered up forever, can it… Is the killer still alive today? Maybe fearful because of the discovery?
American Muscle
Old Memories
Old memories, sweet memories. I treated myself to a pedicure and manicure as well as a proper haircut today. All are long overdue because of the pandemic. I do okay doing these things but not nearly as good as the Korean ladies at the spa. She got a great tip! As projected by the weather service, it’s currently 81 degrees with winds gusting to around 40 miles per hour. Las Vegas should be called the Windy City, not Chicago!
Little Boy, Big Dreams!
I think this old photo is so cute with the little boy in his pedal car looking at the big car with a flat tire. He may become a race car driver or a top-notch mechanic someday. They had a very different life folks had back in those days…
Powered By Pistons
No electric motor here, just two fuel-compressing pistons creating plenty of fun on the road. No tree-huggers here… Today’s high is just 61F, about 30 degrees cooler than about three days ago, crazy weather!
