The hierarchy is posted

In terms of relative sizes of photos/crucifixes, you can see who’s most important here.

Cottonwood + water

My favorite desert oasis is generally deserted* which lets me enjoy the shade, the cooling breeze from the water, the call of the ducks, and the graceful peace I feel when I am there.

*Sorry. I had to.

Faucet and a weed-choked trough

Another one of many things that have seen better days.

Stock Tank and the Cathedral Mountains

I’m not tall enough to get the shot I wanted, so I made this one by holding the camera as high above my head as I could reach and shooting it blind.

Just over to my left, a very large steer stood in the shade, watching the procedures. And off in the distance, the Cathedral Mountains.

It’s hard to think of anyplace I rather be than right here.

Swimming Hole

I’ve been trying for a while to get the photo of this wading pool that I can see in my mind. This one wasn’t it. And neither was this one.

This one, though? It’s closer, but still not quite what I was after.

But it’s OK, as it gives me a completely plausible reason to return to this little remote oasis.
