Another One!



     These suckers are getting too close for comfort!  I don't know what it is or where it came from and again, I didn't see it.  The camera saw it, I didn't.  Just like the last one.  But there it is about a hundred feet out or so floating above the ground in front of that sagebrush!  I've some other pictures of these things.  Anybody else see anything like them?  Explanations???

     As an aside, I've taken pictures out here for years, with the camera I'm using as well as a variety of other cameras, never came up with these items until very recently!

My Daytime UFO

There is a longer piece on nevadasdesertlegends.com.  I've put this picture up for comments.  I'd like to know if anyone else saw this one.  As I said in the article on nevadasdesertlegends.com, i took these pictures November 3, 2013.  I look forward to hearing from people!

Blue Mountain and Clouds!

I think of Blue Mountain as the signpost to the Black Rock Desert.  Once you reach it on Jungo Road, you are on your way!  Helen, a good friend, took me out this week to take some pictures.  The clouds are beautiful, amazingly lovely, the mountain as well, the foreground?  It's something else.  It shows how little snow or rain we've gotten for the last several years and this year doesn't look so great either.  Even the Mormon Crickets will have to pack canteens this year!

Frost Bow

These only happen when it's cold and it's foggy!  I dislike fog intensely.  It makes me ache and a hibernating bear would be better company.  Still, it's almost worth it when you get one of these.  Just  amazingly beautiful, and very, very cold!

Louise's Icicle!

I'm out playing in the ice again.  But while sitting at my computer I noticed this monster on the house next door.  Off I went, camera in hand.  I think being a desert creature most of my life has given me an ungodly fascination with anything that has to do with water!  I just had to have this photo!!

Ice Window!


When it gets very cold, sometimes, ice happens in unusual ways.   This is one of them.  My garden window caught just enough water for this.  The sun just topped the Sonomas.  Groggily, it was early for me, I went for my camera.  This is the morning of  the -27.

Oh yes, the plants all survived!
