If its there they will come and some might even stay for awhile. Sorry if there are too many. Didn't know where to stop.

Absolutely beautiful -- all of them. Wish I could do this as well as you.

I have maintained several Hopi friendships for 20-40 years. An old friend of mine visited this week, and his Black Badger clan traces their roots to Spruce Tree House in the park. Photography was really a tertiary goal on this trip, and it occurred to me as we hiked to a spring near the ruin that his family had drank those waters for >40 generations. It was touching to see his emotions bubble to the surface when the NPS Ranger, who was part native himself, said "welcome home."
WOW! SO MUCH HISTORY.

Red Dog---Perhaps you have met Ray Spencer who shoots in your area. Takes wonderful pictures. Nice shots from your camera.

How about a beer bottle opener -- something to read like maybe a manual --a few snicker bars and perhaps a sandwich. Heh, its more fun when you are totally prepared.

After a week of 80 degree weather, I decided to get out of the house and into the brush country with my FZ200 (which is a computer that just happens to take pictures and a camera that I still don't fully understand). Guess what? By 2:00 pm it was 97 degrees. My luck! Anyway, I had plenty of water so I toughed it out. Very few birds came in to the pond and no mammals. I thought I would show you what I did get. As I sat there in the blind watching the drinking and the play, I realized, as I have so many times, how important water is to everything. Perhaps we don't think about that too much since it is available to us pretty regularly.
Taken back in January with cannon Birds have conventions too.

Mocking Bird. Kinda sloppy drinker

I chose this one because I forgot to place water at the base of the Lantana that I had set up as a prop.

If I had to drink like this, I would surely drown.

Satisfied and I'm on my way.

Mike--Can you tell us where each of these pictures were taken? In all the years that I have been taking pictures and viewing pictures I have never seen any thing quite like this set. If Ansel Adams were alive today he would be bird dogging you for info. I sit here in front of my computer and as down load each picture I become aware of greatness in your touch and your complete control of all the facets of photography. Long may you continue to amaze us with your work.

Hey lobo-- I noticed a wood bar across the door. Is that to keep the sinners in until they heard the sermon or what.
