Those rock forms look almost alien, so different then what we usually see here in eastern Canada. Great work capturing such detail.
Nice one Jeff! I hope to be able to go there someday. How are you guys doing on rain? Any relief yet?
Hi Rachel,
We finally had a full day of rain last Sunday (3″) and it sure helps. We’re still 20″ low but hoping for wetter times ahead.

What a pretty shot. I love all the different textures in the foreground plants and the rock. It just draws my eye in. Nice job!
Katie,
Thanks for reading and for your kind words.
Jeff
I’ll second the comment about the texture of the rocks. Makes me want to be there.
