Don't let the name fool you -- it was around 20 degrees out (I know, for some of you 20 degrees would be a heatwave)and the name didn't help warm me at all.

This is an amazing landscape and I hope if I keep returning I'll figure out how to do it photographic justice.

Thanks Penny -- Learning the new position has taken up a lot of time, but it's so much better it's worth it.

I'd say you did a pretty good job of doing it justice in this set, Wilk! I loved 'em all, but 5 was the one that really stood out for me...........well, except for the *color* one you threw in; totally unexpected!

I have to agree with Kay... while I enjoyed the whole set... 5 is the one that really grabbed me!

5, 3, and 9 were my favorites, all great though, Bill! We almost went there when we were at Las Vegas but didn't... now I'm sorry. I won't ask for any details on the position you're working on.

Don -- the position. . . I went from teaching high school English to teaching technology skills to 3rd, 4th and 5th graders. Well, that is unless you were being facetious in which case I'm doing some post-graduate research for my new book "Karma Sutra II." Also, this is a different Valley of Fire from the one near Los Vegas.

Looks like some serious volcanic activity there once upon a time. Very nice set. By the way, not that it matters, but my oldest daughter lives in Houston. It's real busy in the city but not bad on the outskirts.

- So shoot already!!

Well, Bill, you know I'd never be facetious. Let me know when the book comes out. Where is this Valley of Fire located? Texas?

IMO you always do justice with your excellent compositions, focus, and contrasts. Each one a is a treat to view!

You know, it's a shame no one took the time to teach gorillas to read. Look up Lo--New Mexico! We all have to talk a little slowly for him, you know. I'm sure Barb does. And New Mexico ought to hire you on to its tourism board Wilk. Congrats on the new position too. Or positions plural regarding the new book. ;)
