Photography and Travel, specifically adventure travel and backpacking in remote North America, give me an excuse to stay outside. If kayaks, bikes, backpacks, Jeeps, archeology, geology and wildlife can be included, all the better. Having spent my life working in the fashion and photography industries, I love the unusual, the spectacular, and the beautiful. God has given us a wonderful world in which to live, and I try to open others’ eyes to its wonders. I have shared nearly 50 years of this indescribable wonder with my wife, Jodie, and we go everywhere together. I hope you will share some of our journey with us.

Looks like some fine “crawling”!
I really enjoyed this trip. Can’t wait to see where we go next time.
Thanks Kathy

So much of this is unfamiliar, in the best way. But I had to smile at that last photo; it evokes beach life here, as the outgoing tide creates the same sort of pattern. The flower is a delight, too. Do its petals change color as it ages? It certainly looks as though they’re both white and lavender. It reminds me of our rain lily, or evening primrose, that sometimes change color as they fade.
How convenient that a chair was left out for you. Did you have to shoo other shade-loving creatures out of the way?
A great observation about the tidal sand flow at the beach, having spent many, many mornings walking the Gulf beaches. The petals of the flower are white and lavender when they bloom, and do not change color. I’m currently trying to identify this plant. It only grows to a total height of 6-8 inches. As for the chair, I had no competition. Seems we humans are the only idiots out walking around in the desert at mid-day. Thanks for the comments.
