This was taken right outside my office, and if it wasn't for the crane and street lights in the picture, you might think it was a tropical paradise. It's not. It's smack dab in the middle of the ghetto.

I didn't see any extra-terrestrial activity at Devils Tower, but I did get this photo which I think is kind of cool. (I should've posted this a few days ago for the 4th of July, but it's still the season, right?)

I dare say this is a perspective of Mt. Rushmore that you've never seen before. Well, unless you've been there too that is.

It's good to have a zoom lens when you encounter a threatened species such as this Desert Tortoise. It was the first one I'd seen in the wild in all my time in the desert. It's a pretty cool species, and I was happy to have finally encountered one.

I took this while driving home from Salt Lake City the last time I was there. I miss snow (although, this is probably more of a distance makes the heart grow fonder kind of thing - since I don't have to shovel walks, drive on icy roads, etc.).
