March 26-28, 2017 Shoshone, California

Making progress on the master piece. Going to do a bit more beading. A hummer at the feeder. This one dive bombed me when I was bringing the refilled feeder out, then hung behind my head till I started hanging it. She then started eating while I was still tying it up. 

Metal cactus sculpture in the Shoshone Park. The Shoshone Museum. 

Walk like an egyptian shadow and reflection. A black butte studded with bright yellow brittle bush and reeds below in evening light.

Flowery bush, curly grass and dried salts on the ground, look kind of like snow covered mountains. The path is lined with back lit pink monkey flowers.

Brittle Bush.

Brittle bush in the foreground and up both mountains in the background.

Door to the dynomite room for the mine-  cut into the cliff by the miners and  cool formations. 

Wooly daisy, orange dotter- a parasite that kills it’s host, white flowers on a bush. Pincushion, chia and indigo bush.

Fat beetle, the inside of the powder room showing the cut marks on the sides where the miners cut out the room, mojave aster. White flowering bush, grass found at the end of an arroyo, woolly daisy and pink monkey flower, beavertail cactus bloom.

Sprouting sugar snap pea that looks like a bug and beavertail cactus in bloom. Happy hour by the bus with John, Laurie, Jeff- a friend from Colorado and Judy.
