Nature takes back what belongs to her. It doesn’t take as long as you might imagine. I amped up the saturation slightly on this one, but it really is this pink. See the sandstone in the background that brought the color to the asphalt?

Aermotor
This was one of my first shots after I got my Nikon, and I was just figuring out settings and operation in manual mode…needless to say, the exposure was way off. I still like the composition.
Roads on Her Face: Parade time
We made balloons and costumes out of paper bags, then put on a parade….of sad, pathetic poor little children. My siblings were lucky to have me around to come up with these ideas and keep them amused…I can only imagine how hard it was for my parents not to laugh as the 4-person parade marched by throwing candy…
Farm-time
Spring has sprung, it’s fun to see the valley starting to green up. I should have had my aperture cranked way down here, so everything in the shot would have been in focus. Oh well, nice mountain view and I do love the split of the green and blue colors. I will probably go try this one again.
Road to Nowhere
I painted this scene back in college, with an eye superimposed over it crying (which may have been my eye). I know, corny, right? Every photographer in town has taken shots of these mountains, it’s impossible not to. They’re called the Organs, and they do look like an organ. I always imagine spleens.
Da Light
I finally caught a decent, though tiny, lens flare- I wish this had been in better focus. There’s always next time. I love the colors and the dreamy mood.
Biker View
Couldn’t resist another- I got some great biker shots that day- including a pic of this guy’s bike with a fully nude Playmate painted on the gas tank. I’ll share, I promise.
Bikers Do it Better
I had had a few Tecates at this point, and was mostly hoping the big burly guys inside didn’t come out to see me messing around their bikes. Luckily you can’t see my inebriated, worried face in the reflection… or can you….
Daily Photo: Where the River Went
I had to stick my camera through some chain-link to get this unobstructed view- this was after a long day of shooting most of the day and my battery was dying, but couldn’t pass up this tower in the afternoon light. The guy that painted this mural has painted all of the Las Cruces city water tanks.
