Sunset
This is the sunset the second night from Yavapi point. Exposure is messed which is why I didn't both cleaning up the dust.

Mesas Out
First walking down into the canyon. I believe that last point is called The Battleship.

Plateau
This is one of my favorite shots. The scan is a little blad, it's one of the first I did and needs to be redone.

Featherleaf Desertpeony
I like to take two photos of plants - one is an identification shot that has the leaves and much more depth of field and a second that highlights the aspect of the plant I want to show. This is the second shot. Tags: flower

Rufous-crowned Sparrow
Sparrows are hard - there are many and the features to tell them apart are often subtle. John Harvey Photo > Trips out of the Country > Austin > Rufous-crowned Sparrow

Small Ballmoss With Flowers
I was really surprised to see these - they are "air plants" - plants that grow without roots in the soil. These plants are pretty benign to their hosts and are often for sale in garden stores for $20 in a kitschy hanging pot. They also make spotting birds hard because the visual field is no longer most thin lines with the odd ball of bird.
Despite the name "ballmoss", this is not a moss.

Cedar Sage
These have a more than passing resemblance to Scarlet Gilia, but again, not related. Species: Salvia roemeriana (cedar sage)

Rain Lily
These weren't rare. White flowers are tricky - they are very easy to over expose. I was expecting this to be related to the Sagebrush Mariposa Lily, but it's not even closely related. Tags: flower
