December 25, 2022 Organ Pipe National Monument, Arizona

 74, sunny with a light breeze.


 

I made these two small baskets. Made from dyed pine needles, polyester thread, glass beads and glass centers I fused. They are each 7 x 1/2 inches. 



When this cactus wren saw me pointing the camera at it did a little dance. I worked on baskets in the shade/sun  and John read. Very relaxing here. 



Sunset with the sliver new moon and closer to the saguaro cactus is either Saturn, Venus or Mercury. they were all in the same area. Christmas day was sunny and 75. I awoke to John smoking a turkey for dinner. 



Finally got a photo of a curved billed thrasher. They a skittish and don't pose well. This one is through the window, I rode my bike around the campground to check out rigs. Loved this  beautiful 5th wheel. It even has a porch. 



 European Scania. These puppies are rugged. Huge tires, high clearance and luxurious inside. They are built for the African back country.  If I had one I wouldn't camp in a campground, you could 4 wheel into a back country site. I saw this fire and thought at first it was right over the ridge, but I think it is Mexico and the wind blowing toward it, so don't think it will come our way. 



Another burly heavy duty backcountry rig. The Prevost that seem out of place. They are million dollar custom coaches. Mostly all electric and need to plug in. No hook ups here and they are in the no generator area. I am almost done with this little toad in a basket. It is 6 x 1 1/2 inches. The glass toad is cast from recycled wine bottles. Glass and clay beads.  



The toad in a basket has a turtle and  2 more toads  on the edges. The toad looks black with no light behind it, but wine bottle green with light. Christmas dinner in tonight's backyard. Smoked turkey, dressing, cranberry sauce, gravy and kale quinoa salad. And of course pumpkin pie for desert. Yummy and very nice to eat outside.  



Cactus dancing with the sliver moon. It has the moon in it's hand.


Crescent moon with the aliens in sunset.
