~ While hiking and photographing in the Valley of Fire, I happened upon this small snake--I believe one of the western rattlesnakes. It was very still, and I almost wondered if it was alive...then I saw its little black tongue flicking in and out...
Self Portrait in the Valley of Fire ~ I couldn't resist taking a shadow self-portrait against the beautiful rock formations, documenting that yes, I really was here!
Rainbow Vista ~ This view of colorful rock formations was near the area called Rainbow Vista. This is in the Valley of Fire in Nevada.
