Sand Dunes

 I am fascinated by sand dunes! The way they are constantly changing. The incredible interaction they have with light. The sesualuity of their form. But I do not like having them blow in my face, get into my shoes or underwear, and how tiring they are to walk in! 

    The last time we were at White Sands,early summer this year, I photographed comfortably from the RV! Beside the many photos of dunes taken, I watched in amazement for an hour while these guys trudged to the top of a dune about 50 feet tall and dug with shovels until they had a pit nearly as deep as they were tall. They were with a group of people watching the sunset while they dug! After sunset they went back down the dune and left.They did not fill the hole in. This was taken using a very long telephoto lens, they were a good 500 yards away.

 

          Just Getting Started! 

 Ahhh should haves! I should have started the RV and chased them down to ask the question....... WHY?

Rainy Season in the Big Bend of Texas

We have been so privleged to be in the Big Bend at times during the rainy season- July and August. And many of them to be spending time in the Chisos Basin, staying in Cabin 103! Nothing compares to the smell of the rain, how abrubtly the temperature drops, and how wonderfully peaceful it is to watch the earth be refreshed from its porch.

Right now my heart goes out to the familes who lost loved ones in the floods the past few days along the Guadalupe and other rivers in Texas. 

God's Peace.
