Hole In The Wall
Today’s post including the photos and video within come to you from the Hole in the Wall Campground near the center of the Mojave National Preserve.
Now Selling
Well, enough folks have asked for a way to buy hard prints that I have taken to setting up a “shop” for prints.
Now offerings will include Lustre Paper, Metal, and the new Acrylic.
I will be contracting with a very high quality lab for producing the final product. Only the best will do.
And while quality never comes cheaply, the highest standards are the only things I find to be acceptable.
Teddy Bears
Today was a great time in the Cholla Cactus Garden inside Joshua Tree National Park.
These little buggers are extremely photographic, but boy, they can also be quite dangerous. Check out the gallery included with this post to see some of the wonderful photographs we captured on our journey.
Joshua Tree
We are spending a bit of time in Joshua Tree National Park so I just had to do some photography.
In today’s post, I’ll rant a little bit about Tree Huggers and will also share some epic photos from our past few days with you.
The Wildflower Hunt
If God so cares for the wildflowers…
Jesus’ words about worry are linked to the flowers. This adventure into the desert in search of the spring wildflowers has been very eye opening. I have been to many desert sin search of wildflowers but have never seen anything quite like what we witnessed at the Anza-Borrego Desert State Park last week. I wanted to not only share with you some of the photos I have taken while there, but also provide for you the video we produced and posted to our Youtube channel. You will find them all in this post.
Staying At the Salton Sea
Our time as workcampers has come to an end. We have left the Salton Sea area and begin our trek north through the deserts in pursuit of epic wildflower displays. Here are some photos from my time in the Salton Sea area.
A Drone Rescue
It was frustrating day.
A day I anticipated with great eagerness. The opportunity to finally fly my DJI Avata FPV drone through a close walled canyon. Something I’ve longed to do for some time.
After a long ride through a very bumpy, dusty, dry terrain, we made it. I launched the Avata, began my flight, and almost as soon as I began the flight, it ended. Crashed into a bush…of all places, on top of the mountain. Read on to learn the story.
An Old Movie Set
Our final night in Kanab Utah was spent driving to the old, historic movie set/site called the Paria Townsite. A short 5 mile drive into what seemed like another world.
The views were epic and I was awestruck by the landscape in the area. No wonder the Mormons wanted to settle out there.
Coral Pink
The Coral Pink Sand Dune State Park in Utah is one not to miss should you be in the region visiting. This park is full of photographic opportunity. It’s an OHV Mecca, so you should know; going there for a vacation is going to mean plenty of OHV noise. However, outside the park are a load of Boondocking/Dispersed camping opportunities.
Buckskin Gulch
The Buckskin Gulch via the Wire Pass trailhead is one of the more epic hikes I have ever done. This past Christmas marks the second time I’ve ventured into this, one of the worlds largest slot canyons. The canyon is part of the Coyote Buttes North region and The Wire Pass trailhead is the same trail for the world famous Wave hike. Both require permits. Buckskin is a day use permit and not part of the lottery system that controls hikes to The Wave.
If you are ever in this area, don’t miss this hike. It’s utterly astounding and amazing and full of photography. Check out this post from some photography suggestions if you plan to hike to take photos.
