Thank you for stopping by. I will go look at dragon cave, but I predict that Death Valley is one and the same. The irony of the small marsh is that it is so out of place! I've been to many places where marshes and waterfowl abound, but NOT in the middle of the desert. There are signs posted to say there are certain species located ONLY there, and nowhere else in the world . . . and need I repeat how fortunate a woman I am?Leslie Morganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15702472429383639709noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7195616894993495285.post-72107446981229594452010-02-26T23:06:23.363-08:002010-02-26T23:06:23.363-08:00Art from dragon cave is featuring winter photos at...Art from dragon cave is featuring winter photos at the moment of Death Valley (presumably the same) and they are so different from your fields of gold, Leslie.

We shall proceed to the dunes and set up a huge camp of good folks. I shall cook and lead hikes and teach the finer points of shifting the chair around the fire and out of the smoke. I'll point out the cat tracks and the rocks that I love. At night, I'll lead a happy rendition of Koom-Bai-Ahh. We have a number of fine photographers who follow ~ they can get the good shots of the dunes and of all of us having a fine time. The fact that the bus is not 4-wheel drive does not trouble me, even though the roads are harsh and sandy, as this is a fantasy campout! ;~}Leslie Morganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15702472429383639709noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7195616894993495285.post-53429317709242731332010-02-26T16:27:16.395-08:002010-02-26T16:27:16.395-08:00Very nice Leslie.

In the north we have high mountain ranges and the Lake Tahoe area. There are a few different types of desert throughout the state. I'm soon to post about one of my favorite spots which is actually a mix of high mountains AND desert. When we hike there, depending on the route we select, it can seem, once again, as if we went to two different destinations. I would say the common denominator, though, is that there is some form of desert going on nearly everywhere in Nevada.<br /><br />BTW, Kirk, virtually all the places I write about visiting are in California. Within 150 miles of Las Vegas, but on the CA side, to be technical.Leslie Morganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15702472429383639709noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7195616894993495285.post-92194940669231499122010-02-26T14:21:37.376-08:002010-02-26T14:21:37.376-08:00Nevada has a more varied topography or whatever th...Nevada has a more varied topography or whatever that I've been led to believe.Kirkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02155991693956178030noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7195616894993495285.post-30576963957032821902010-02-26T14:06:05.688-08:002010-02-26T14:06:05.688-08:00@ Kass ~ Yes, it's my photo.

So I counted to the tenth photo of my own making.<br /><br />Eva Cassidy's rendition IS wonderful. Celtic Woman just kind of drew me because of the "Celtic" thing.<br /><br />I don't know Palm Desert, Kass. I like the mountains very much, but the desert does it for me best. There is a lot of emotion surrounding my introduction to it so it is almost like love of a person. I understand the desert. The desert and I are comfortable in one another's company.<br /><br />This was fun. You know I'll always play the blogging games!Leslie Morganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15702472429383639709noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7195616894993495285.post-66862654049001338042010-02-26T13:51:08.104-08:002010-02-26T13:51:08.104-08:00Beautiful description.

There is a mystery to the desert that has a depth like no other place, and yet I love my mountains.<br /><br />My favorite rendition of Fields Of Gold is Eva Cassidy's. Unparalleled.<br /><br />Thanks for responding.Kasshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05233330248952156754noreply@blogger.com
