The botanist in Hot Springs for the Forestry Service has identified these flowers as Butterfly milkweed. The locals from around here call the plant Chigger weed for some reason.

Depending on the time of year, the 27 miles of washboard g
oing into Chaco Canyon can be a real kidney rattler.
Drove the 20 some miles in from the South once after the rain. Slick rocks or BIG mud holes. Took the washboard road out. Drove half of it in the ditch.

Another vote for Colorado. Roughly 100 miles from Leadville is Shelf Road from Canon City to Cripple Creek, a really rough one-lane road following Cripple Creek through the mountains. Rumor has it local entertainment used to be watching covered wagons sliding off the road and down the mountain. And it still hasn't improved much.
EDIT: Maybe Colorado folks are just fascinated by disaster. :)

I believe that road was built on an old narrow gauge railroad and they left the ties in. Some of the sharpest corners are on bridges,

Thanks for looking. I should have made the title of this thread as "Curb Appeal"

Found this house on our way back from Texas. It's a little hard to see from the road. It's a fixer upper.
Can you find the house.

It is my daughter's neighbor's bird. We were at a birthday party there. It was outside on a limb.

Tirehouse, you were expecting Angels and Cherubs with trumpets to accompany the setting sun? You have some awesome shots here, I would love to see ! & 2 converted to B&W. I think it would really pull the sun's rays right off the screen.
I did some work on these in b/w. I couldn't get the contrast right it seems. I did do a selective b/w that I think was nice though.

These pictures were taken near the west end of the drive at Panorama Vista. The highest point on the west end on Winding Stair Mountain. I was overlooking Talihena, OK.
