Deserted
I yak about the desert incessantly, thought it was time I show you what it looks like...
I managed to get out before the day got too hot, and we had enough rain to knock some of the dust and dirt out of the air so the sky was fairly clear. I'll try to post more like these as the weather cools - probably around October, the way things have been going!!!

the first photo was really beautiful! I like the landscape there. Its so different!
Have a great night!
When you think about a desert, you think about sand. Wheres' the sand?
I've been hiking in Arizona several times and despite the heat I thouroughly enjoyed it.
where's the sand?
/t.
kate: Thanks! You have a nice evening as well!!
ll: No sand, just rocks and dirt. There are places that have dunes, but not near by. Want to see dunes, check out Whitesands National Monument.
hammer: AS long as the hike is in early Spring or late fall it can be enjoyable. In the summer the rescue squad is busy pulling tourists off the mountainside after they collapse from dehydration.
/t.: In my shoes...
I've never seen the sandy deserts which seem to be popular among the commenters myself. This kind of terrain I know.
Nice photos.
you better
put it back, phos

I´m amazed by deserts, they´re kind of like oceans. Fascinating.
wow great desert pics Phos! they r as lonely as me...
Keshi.
I've been to White Sands when my Air Force uncle lived in Mew Mexico.
sj: There are spots in the Mojave and Sonoran deserts where dunes collect, usually at the base of mountains.
/t.: The sand is from other people's deserts and I don't plan on going back...
evalinn: Right you are. At fist glance there doesn't seem to be much going on, but there is lots of life. Most of it will scratch, bite, or sting you, but it is there.
keshi:I feel lonely sometimes as well, oddly enough, but then I remember I have all of you then everything is ok.
ll: Alamogordo and Holloman AFB aren't far away from Whitesands. That is an interesting area.

dak: I ma waiting for it to cool a bit so I can get out in the desert a bit more. It is gorgeous out here.

Glad you liked it. It is a pretty place. Hot, but pretty...
EC: I visited SW Colorado and you are right - ti was all pinion pine and rocks. It was still very pretty, however.
Looks suitably snakey and very pretty to me.
