Grand Wash

Here are a couple more of some shots taken on the nevada Arizona line shooting over the grand wash  looking towards pidegeon canyon and mustang point. What great country.

A Trip to the Hills

The boys and I were able to head for the hills a couple of weekends ago and man was it great to get out. We went to the Gold Butte country and enjoyed every minute of it. We got in some snow, rain and then a beautiful clear evening. We were able to add yet another great trip to the books.

Buena Vista, Overton Nv

One thing that I love about Moapa Valley is that I have plenty of chances to snap the shutter of my Nikon. This spot is about 15 minutes from the house. I have many memories of my younger days, making the trek up the rough road to this beautiful lookout with my dad. The place is called Buena Vista. If I remember correctly it was built by the CCC boys back in the day during the Great Depression, not to be confused with the current great Recession.

The family and I headed up here to watch the sun set and, of course, take a few pictures. It has a great view of Moapa Valley and, what was once the Overton Arm of Lake Mead. Lake Mead, I guess, is also in a great recession. If it recedes much more than it already has I wont be able to launch the boat at Echo Bay. Hopefully the politics calm down and they will start filling up Mead instead of topping Powell off. However I think I have digressed a little from the photography so I'll move on.

Anyways if you get the chance head on up to Buena Vista point above Overton Nevada off the North Shore road. In my opinion its worth the rough road to see a little bit of Gods good country.

Hidden Canyon

Here are a couple shots from our trip to Hidden Canyon a few weeks ago.

The Other Warm Springs

I took these on the way home from Reno back in the day. Those who say the desert has no color have no vision. I love the desert and I love this state.

Good Country

These are just some pictures of good country.

Silhouettes

Evening in the desert

We went for a quick ride before the sun went down after I got home from work.
