My moms 75th Birthday is this Friday. In honor of her and the amazing women she is, I sent off an order for developing yesterday with the intention to break my "I don't know which images to develop" slump.
I am excited to be flying to her Friday as a SURPRISE ! (weeeeee!!
I am very excited for the opportunity to photograph my family all together!
Well if mother natures snow falls on the East Coast, do not prevent some siblings from making their way to Florida. Please Mother Nature go easy on the snow.

Moving onto Monday! Beep! Beep!
wishing i had half the Mojo as I head toward tomorrow

Perhaps Micro blogging is the answer to my chronic blogging frustration. Anywho..All of today's photos were shot freehand on the Canon S5IS ,
no post processing just the real deal ,from the rural and rugged land of sand here in the desert Joshua Tree California

Seed pod universe-how looking at one tiny life form in our infinite Joshua Tree Desert,is like living Horton Hears a Who!

the desert is filled with shape shifters appearing different from one day to the next. I have rounded this spot countless times'-never leaving the path as my partner has a major snake phobia. Alone today, I left the main path and walked into what could be called a clearing,and stood beneath the front Joshua Tree, realizing the perfect triangle the three Joshua Trees create

macro shot are a challenge with 2 dog leads,a water bottle, and camera.
I need to find one of those dog packs The Dog whisperer puts on dogs

cactus skeletons abound on desert walk today, almost surreal silence- with the exception of a trio of ravens cawing across the stone clusters

these beautiful cats are wise and stay far from human beings in the environment of the Mojave Desert; however, like all things, there are exceptions .

Oh ! how happy I was this past sunny Sunday afternoon,when Renaldo my favorite friendly road runner reappeared on our ranch.
My hubby quickly corralled the dogs,as I hurried to bring fresh meat to Renaldo.
I still cannot figure out where he is nesting or sleeping. This is my first sighting of him in over three weeks.
