White River Falls, in Central Oregon (west coast, USA).

It's startling to come across such a thundering outpour of water in the high desert. In the second photo, you can see the derelict power station at the bottom of the falls.

West of the Cascade Mountains, it's all about the moss and ferns and Douglas fir trees. The moment you cross over east of the Cascades, it's Ponderosa pines and sagebrush, the type of landscape you expect to see in an old Western movie.

A large, three-step waterfall pours over light brown basalt rocks with greenery growing where the spray hits. Blue sky above.

A river winds through the bottom of a basalt gorge, where a few trees grow. At the top of the gorge, stark high desert plateaus with sagebrush. At the bottom, a derelict power station, visible as a failing roof.

Like a sunbeam in the desert, the yellow cactus rose is captivating with its beautiful color and spiky elegance.

A color photo of the barren yet colorful high desert of the Arizona Kaibab Plateu, a vast and captivating landscape of stacked rock formations surrounded by the beautiful, and aptly named, Vermillion Cliffs, all beneath a sky of soft white clouds, looking like they were painted on with long deft strokes of an artist's brush, with a bit of bare blue turquoise peeking through here and there.

Random photo of the day.

An empty stretch of highway, captured low to the centerline, seems to end at the foot of some desert hills.

The landscape is a rusty orange-brown, contrasted by the black asphalt. The sky is a light blue with wisps of cloud.

In the early 1990s, I toured the south-western US, and this was taken the day I visited Death Valley. It's a view over the salt flats in Badwater Basin, which is the lowest point in N America, at 86 m below sea-level.
It was over 40°C that day, I remember, and if you put on the aircon in the car, the engine would overheat. Hop out, take a picture, and then get moving again fast was the only option...

A view of the salt flats in Death Valley, taken from the road in. Dust, sand, and scrub in the foreground, next to the narrow road. The salt pans are in the middle distance, and there are hazy hills beyond them.

Today's ride.
Started on a little section called Teddy Bear. Was nice, pretty easy, with interest. No trail signs, but it was on Trailforks, but not the park trail maps.
Went up lower Golden Gate where I think the last 3 are from, and over to upper Gates Pass where I found trails with signage but not on Trailforks or the park maps, so that was interesting.

Dear Friends,
#ClimateDiary 1/3
PM2.5 (particulate matter, 2.5 micrometers) was 151 at 06:00 when this photo was made. These particles are from #Quebec, #Canada #WildFires. In Quebec the rate of wildfires so far this year is 600x more than average. 160,000 hectares have burned. #Pennsylvania and #NewJersey are at very high fire risk. Risk is added by chances for #DryThunderstorms. They are a feature of #desert climate.

A man is jogging down a sidewalk, away from the photographer towards a smokey sun a few degrees above the horizon that is obscured by the orange haze of fine smoke particles.

Sedona red rocks, abstract painting. Sculpted by wind and rain and baked by searing heat for centuries, who keeps the secrets and can tell the stories of this ancient landscape?

Sedona Red Rocks Abstract in Orange. The red rocks of Sedona, Arizona have be sculpted by wind and rain and baked by searing heat for centuries. Rounded here, jagged there, striped with layer upon layer of sediment and glowing various colors in the ever-changing sunlight. This is a landscape that seems to be always changing but ever the same - otherworldly. Who keeps the secrets and can tell the stories of this ancient landscape?

Sedona has long been regarded as a sacred and powerful place. A cathedral without walls, Stonehenge not yet assembled. Searchers from around the world travel here to experience the mysterious cosmic forces that are said to emanate from the red rocks. They come in search of the swirling centers of energy that are conducive to healing, meditation and self-exploration called vortexes. These are places where the earth seems especially alive with energy. People often report feeling inspired, recharged or uplifted after visiting the area.

Mesquite Flat Sand Dunes, Death Valley National Park

I thought Death Valley’s weather would be worse, but what people say about the lack of humidity is right. 103 there felt like 85 in Boston.

Took a little road trip into the desert last week. I love parts of the desert and would live there if it wasn't so hot. I love the Sanora Desert with it's Saguaro Cactus and they were blooming. The bird is a Thresher. Well done Arizona!

Ocotillo flowers, Sonoran Desert, Arizona, March 1984. Poison tells us every rose has its thorn, but roses have nothing on ocotillo in this respect.

Beneath a clear blue desert sky, a closeup of a branch of a large ocotillo plant. The branch is bristling with long, needle sharp thorns. At the tip is a cluster of long, pointed crimson buds with pale yellow bases. Several of the buds have opened up into blossoms.

the thorns of a brutish desert ocotillo looms up out of the landscape and stands sentry against a stark blue sky. The bright white sun shines just to the left, seemingly nestled atop a small branch.

Long cooled lava flows along the rugged east wall of Death Valley have created a craggy, jagged texture. Various minerals have colored the deposits pink, blue green and purple. A sliver of the deep blue desert sky is visible up top.

Mesquite Flat Sand Dunes, Death Valley National Monument, California from April 1984.

A decade later this became Death Valley National Park. An unusually rainy spring brought fresh green even to the floor of Death Valley, although temps climbed above 90 by noon on this early April day. The small animals that created all the paw prints did not appear during the day.

A deep blue cloudless desert sky. Pale beige sand dunes showing the tracks of many small animals. A large green leafy shrub to our left, 2 more atop a dune ahead in the near distance. Rugged dark gray naked rock mountains rise from the edge of the valley floor beyond.

Oh, look! A desert kite with no 'killing pits' at its end. Here, the 'lead-in' walls (blue) lead to a series of 'folds'/cells (red), of a type that occur all over the Jordanian desert.

The stones for the cells could have been reused later on, taken from a putative 'kite' enclosure. But there definitely doesn't appear to have been the space at this point for that to have been the case; the other kite 'heads' are much larger.

A desert kite, but where is the kite's head?

compass rose, desert still life.

black and white photography in 1:1 format: a small dry plant rooted in grainy desert sand has left several concentric circles with its elongated leaves due to the twisting winds. the circles and the light-colored plant that stands out from the darker sand looks like a compass rose. (the french expression « rose des vents » matches better as a title).

Lonely drive across the desert
A late night taco truck appears
like a mirage.
Am I hallucinating?
But burrito oasis is real!

I'll camp somewhere in the desert tonight. Went to Hot Creek, near Mammoth, this afternoon and then sunset photography at Crowley Lake Columns. Struck out at Mono Lake — no lightning. Will post photos when I process them.

Hello, lovelies! It has been a WHILE. Sorry to drop off the face of the world, or at least the World Wide Web. (Does anyone still call it that ? I think my GenX is showing.) I was sick, then catching up on life, then, well, holiday weekend + end of school year. BUT I’m here now, and I’ve missed you! What have you been up to? How ARE you???

As for me, I’m back to sunset-watching with hubby, as this photo shows. Yay!
