Scroll across the monitor to see the entire image, rather than using one of the other sizing options.

The view is from the parking area near the Natural Bridge. Telescope Peak, standing 11,049 feet in elevation above sea level, and the snow-covered summits of the Panamint Mountains are to the west. The temporary lake, well below sea level, was created by some of that melting snow, plus a record winter rainfall in Death Valley in 2005.

Desert Wildflowers along Route 66, in the Mojave Desert between the communities of Newberry Springs and Ludlow. The flowers are growing, somewhat incongruously, in and around a vast lava field that flowed out of the nearby Pisgah Crater.

This weekend I conducted a photography tour to the west side of the San Joaquin Valley, the Carrizo Plain National Monument, and the remote Cuyama and Lockwood Valleys. We enjoyed photographing two kinds of fields: enormous oil fields near the town of Taft - where we spent two nights - and spectacular fields of wildflowers. We also saw and even photographred some elusive wildlife.

This photograph was made this morning in the hills that rise south of Taft. The mountains in the background are part of the Transverse Range of California.

Our photography caravan ground to a halt when someone spotted these pronghorn antelope, at the Carrizo Plain National Monument. Though shy, the animals allowed us a little time to photograph them as they cavorted in the grass, before charging away.

April 12, 2005 - Jesus Shaves

"His Barber Shop" is in old downtown Taft, California. One of the photographers in our group spotted the sign in the window, while another gave this picture its somewhat sacreligious title.

In a good year, like this one, the wildflowers are spectacular in the upper reaches along Klipstein Road, in the San Emigdio Mountains.

Expansion pipe in the oil fields near Taft, California. The insulated pipes will expand - less than an inch - to keep natural gas, oil and steam heated to different temperatures from damaging the system of pipes that run throughout the oild field.

April 17, 2005 - Black Gold

California pumps a lot of oil - only Texas, Alaska and Lousiana produce more. This well is located near the town of Taft, in Kern County, which produces 10% of the petroleum production in the United States. It is, therefore, not surprsing that this rainbow, which I photographed in early April, ends in an oil field.

April 19, 2005 - Carrizo Plain

The wild Carrizo Plain is now a national monument. Home to many rare and endangered species, including sand hill cranes, tule elk, and antelopes, Carrizo can put on a showy display of wildflowers during the spring.
