Have had company for the last two days, a fellow Ranger from my Oregon Caves days. We went for a hike up the Weaver Mountains just out my back door.

I was surprised to see fruit on the cactus, not quite ripe.

Our reward, a view into the valley below, with the feed lot.

Very Very Beautiful.
Stacey and I will probably be heading down to CA to visit my parents for a few weeks in the Bay Area and so that I can also take some more photos of the birds and wildlife I love. But seeing all of these blogs with beautiful desert scenery, we are also thinking of driving into Arizona, and the Four Corners Region too.
Thanks for the Inspiration.
Arizona is my favorite of all the states!! What a beautiful place of contrasts.
Beautiful pictures. I’m jealous of such beauty in your backyard!
Thanks for dropping by some few words on my site…you have beautiful photos here too.. Happy New Year!
Thanks for your visit! Your country is far more interesting than my watery country Holland. The spider was taken in Australia, however.
love the cactus plants – amazing. May I wish you a Happy New Year? with much love, Judith
Prickly Pear, they are quite delicious if you are hungry and have thick leather gloves! At a pinch you can survive on them for a while since they are full of moisture.
Nice post, and great country to enjoy.
Such an interesting way to live, geogypsy! I’ll be back to find out more about your way of life! 🙂
Gaelyn, the earvine looks wonderful I want it (or them) How do I order? My e-mail is indexer@aol.com
BTW I keep on meaning to tell you that it is not often that I find people have read Atlas Shrugged, let alone list it as one of there favorites. I read it at least once a year and enjoy it every time.
Came because of Skywatch, but like these better. Like the cactus and the last photo.
Looks like a beautiful outing. As Bernie said, we might end up down in that area some time in the next couple of months, it would be fun to see the desert again, its been a while. Happy New Year!
You are so lucky! Nature in all its splendor right outside your door…
