Here are some more, previously unseen photos from home…
I hope it’s warmer where you are, than it was when I took these pictures!
Oh Cactus…

New Mexico Cholla, 2003
I have mentioned before, at least once, that I love the desert. My favorite part of the southwestern desert is certainly the Joshua trees, and all the different types of cactus are a close second. I love cactus so much in fact that I have several in pots at my mom and dad’s house in Texas. They’re big and beautiful and were too much to move to South Dakota, plus they’d really hate winter here.
And since I’m trying to wrap up showing y’all the photos we took on our road trip to Vegas, I thought I share some of the cactus I snapped while we were in Arizona. This was on our way to Flagstaff, AZ. Other than the quick bit of Arizona we drove through on our way to Vegas, this was only my second time in Arizona. We were a cat’s eyelash from the Grand Canyon, which is on my list of things to see and visit in this lifetime. The cacti pictured are a type of Cholla cactus, I believe.
The photo shown on the left, was taken, by yours truly in New Mexico the summer of 2003.

These are some pictures I took a few weeks ago, and hopefully they’ll be a sneak peek at something yummy I’ll share later in the week…
Hopefully when you leave here you’ll be hungry!
Have a good Monday!

Saturday, Mother Nature gifted us with a thick, thick fog, and a high of about 19 degrees. As such, there were ice crystals, everywhere. On everything. I always think ice is so pretty to photograph and I might have gone a bit mad with the pictures. I think I over-did the assignment and then some. Please forgive me. I promise that beginning Tuesday we’ll be back to blogging our way through Vegas, so be sure to come back to see the Bellagio, the Bellagio Conservatory, Hoover Dam and some pretty Arizona cactus which I might save for the next Macro Monday Assignment. Until then, Have a good one!
Love, TSDC

Almost everything in life is better late than never if you ask me. I wanted to have these photos up first thing this morning, but my days haven’t been going like planned since I’ve been on &*$%#^@ Prednisone. I got the big lense for the camera back this weekend, so I wanted to use the macro setting on it and see if I could get some better photos of my feathered friends, also known as my Giant Cochin Hens. I’m sure y’all are just dying to see more photos of my chickens, right?

I’ve decided I’m going to begin partaking in some of the photography blogs that are scattered about the world wide web.
A Professional photographer I am not, but regardless, I like taking pictures, and so I figure this is a good way to get input, and maybe I’ll learn something. Like about apertures. What is that, anyway? Here are a couple pictures I snapped this weekend. The first two I took while we were out checking on the mare herds and the others, are of my cat, Reeses.
