Description

Hello all! THis shot was taken in Red Rock canyon /.valley of the fire.. it has these beautiful red rocks there that seem to jump out at you in the sunlight... very deserty and beautiful about 10 miles from Las Veges. We were driving and I saw this view and said STOP... Mike and Chrissy went down the hiking trail. Me, I ran across the road in the opposite direction on a trailess path of stickery plants and then climbed up into this tree to shoot what you see here... LOL Mike and Chrissy just kept walking thinkin I had dissapeared -They didn't know I was on the other side of the road. This was a tricky shot because there was cactus below me and if i would have fallern OUCH.. LOL , I was aiming for a birds eye view from the tree ..!!! I believe this is a juniper tree but I could be wrong let me know if you know different, k? Have a good day or night there whatever it may be.. Thanks for all your wonderful comments on my towers from hoover dam!! luv ya all-~!! big hugs, ♥ , Kimmers

It somehow looks like a classical oil painting. Something medieval even. I think it is a wonderful view on a beautiful place. I can imagine your enthousiasm to get the picture no matter what.. but. I wonder.. wasn't you afraid of snakes there..? I mean.. no train, just bush.. I am pretty sure this is snake country.. well.. .. you survived... :-))) Last but not least.. congrats on being featured the artis of the month August 2006. A great honour and very well deserved.
