April 14-15, 2017 Red Rock Canyon, Nevada

Sunny and in the 80’s. We did a hike to the Calico Hills in Red Rock Canyon.

Still working on my beaded bezels for basket centers. Cliff Rose- it smells sooooo sweet and there are tons of big bushes of it. Fremont phacelia and mariposa lily.

White flowering bush, desert marigold, and lupine. A meadow of desert marigold in front of the red rocks of  the Calico hills.

John in a pool of water at the bottom of a dry waterfall. Mariposa lilies, the eye of Ra  graffiti, cool rock formations and red penstemon.

John wandering down a narrow canyon, cool alcoves in the red and white striped rocks.

Cool lines in the rocks and desert graffiti. Blooming yucca and mojave asters.

Cliff rose and red rocks. Yucca leaves with yellow flowers, mallow, mojave aster and beavertail 

cactus blooms.

Scarlet gaura, indian paintbrush, yucca and purple sage. A view of the Spring Mountains and paint brush.

Purple sage and the red Calico hills. A bad shot of the beacon from the Luxor casino in Las Vegas shining up into the clouds.
