I always take a lot of pictures while traveling, and have been too busy to do much more than simply download the images from my camera (and make backups!)
Nonetheless, I was able to sort and process yesterday’s desert photos so will post them now and work on the others as time permits. I did post a nice image of some yellow-headed blackbirds on luminosity.
Sheryl and I went out exploring in the desert near Blythe yesterday, looking for rocks and minerals as well as good photo vantage points. We were successful on all counts; a few photos are shown below and more are available at my Flickr Desert Near Blythe set.
Wiley Wells Road is a normal two lane gravel road. We took it down to Black Hills Road, which veered off to the soutwest. It sort of looks like a road, more so than some of the trails we encountered.

This is looking down one of the many washes that cross the desert. Though drivable, we stuck to “roads” this trip.
