What beautiful pix, Ken. Those dunes are sensuous indeed. Believe I like best the first and third ones. No reason, just because.
Just yesterday I was thinking we hadn't seen you or your pix for awhile, Ken.
So glad you've shared with us again.

Thanks Nena! Actually this trip was inspired by a trip you posted some weeks ago, I think you traveled up US95. BTW just saw your cactus thread and
LOVED it! ++Ken++

I,too, like #3 the most and I like the road picture.
Do you mind if I post some DV pictures on this thread? The kids are playing with the xbox in the living room and that leaves me free to work on
pictures.

Beautiful, just beautiful. And the Dunes, the Dunes---on our last trip through there earlier this year we hesitated at the turn-off for the dunes but
did not go.
We have been debating as to whether we should go before we return to Baja---now after your beautiful pictures, we must go!
I assume those are the Mesquite Flat Dunes and the ones we ALMOST went out to see are the Eureka dunes off the dirt road. They are all beautiful.
Thanks for the inspiration to head north

Ken,
I forgot to mention how much I like the Mesquite bud---very, very nice. Have any of the wild flowers appeared yet?

No wildflowers as of last week Diane. The locals are predicting a great bloom at the end of March and through April. ++Ken++

Darwin Falls
Ever been to Darwin Falls?
Not much water there but a great place to see wildlife.

Beattie
I've shown this one before, but I like it. It's a common scene in the eastern sierras. Beattie borders Death Valley.

Very nice additions, Igor.... and thoroughly different than Ken's.
Death Valley seems an amazing place.
The rock at Darwin Falls looks like one of shari's spy-hopping whales.
I wonder if there's water there all year?
And the Artist's Pallet - amazing the colors and shades.
Your pix and Ken's make me know I've got to visit DV soon.
The Beattie image... like that one a lot - it feels comfortable.
The colors are warm and relaxing...
and I feel like I could walk right in, curl up for a nap.
thank you

Beautiful dunes, Jim. Like Ken's dune pix, sensuous. I guess maybe that's a quality of dunes, huh?! The colors in your image are so vibrant. Thank
you.
And that last picture.... what is that? Did that rock slide all the way to it's resting spot?

tripledigitken..... Excellent additions. I particularly like the oyster can image and the grave site that follows it. I've got a thing for rusty
stuff, and graves have always been of interest to me. Thank you much.
