I was leading a Sierra Club event in the local desert, Lancaster California, to shoot wildflowers. We stopped at a small area in the desert to have lunch with Joshua trees and local desert plants. I wandered off to take a leak and when I walked around some bushes where I couldnt be seen there in front of me were about 30 sheep skeletons spread out in front of me. I dont know how they got there but I quickly ran to get my camera. The people that were on the trip couldnt understand why I wanted to photograph dead sheep skeletons when we were out there to photograph wildflowers, nobody could see the wonderful sight before us. I had enough time to shoot 5 rolls of film and everybody was anxious to get to the flowers and I was the only person that shot the skeletons. Sometimes there are more important things then flowers. I really like your shot a lot.

That was some story. Would like to see some of the photos. Im the Vice President of our local Historical & Preservation Society. And you come across some strange storys It seems almost 100 years ago a farmer and his son went for a horseback ride after their spring planting. They wanted to get away for a few days to relax. They rode for about two days. Too their surprise they came opon a clearing with a lot of teepes. And about 500 indians. They were very friendly and ask them too stay and have a feast with them. After awhile the farmer noticed something very strange. None of the braves had nipples. When they rode home the farmer went to the local doctor and told him what he had seen. The doctor in turn went to the local college and told the professors. So a group of them went with the farmer back to see for themselves. When they arrived they were treated very well. When all the men were satisfied the farmer was telling the truth they left for home. Till this day the event is celabrated every year about this time. If you havent heard of it its called THE INDIAN NIPPLE LESS 500. SOMETIMES I HATE MYSELF.
