Wildflower Wasp
Description
I'm guessing this is a wasp on a wildflower outside of Carrizo Plain, CA. This guy stayed very still which allowed me to click off a bunch of shots. Bees usually hop very quickly from flower to flower making them hard to shoot.

I shot this section of Death Valley's Mesquite Dunes on the way back from a

Mesquite Sunrise I
Description
The day before I took this shot of Death Valley's Mesquite Dunes there was a raging sand storm with wind gust up to 70 mph that lasted into the night. The next
morning
it was still very windy so I decided to head up the west side of the dunes to be upwind, and also so I could catch the blowing sand in the light coming from the east. It's a kind of weird comp but does convey the conditions fairly well.
