This is one of my favorite Santa Fe photos. On January 20, 1973, train 807 (Barstow to Phoenix) kicks up sand and dust leaving Cadiz, California, on the Cadiz District (Cadiz to Parker, Arizona). This trackage is now operated by the Arizona & California Railroad. Photo by Joe McMillan.
in the rain. =)
Thank you for visiting, and for your kind comments and faves. They are greatly appreciated!
I took this photo over the summer, but I never got to properly introduce my FC LLRH, Parker :)
I did her faceup, so please be kind.
Not a formal name, just what I'm calling it because it's right on the north side of Parker Creek a few miles below the lake. I'm not sure of which peaks we're looking at here, either. The only thing I'm sure of is that I like the view.
One of the things you can count on is that when a big storm blows through the Bankhead/Sipsey area, that trees will be down. Unfortunately, they sometimes fall down across trails and in front of waterfalls.
Well, this one is new. I was at Parker twice last year and it wasn't there. It does actually work in this shot, but it won't take long before I despise it being there....just like the one at Caney Creek.
Ansel Adams Wilderness, Eastern Sierra, California
The first snow of the season fell two nights earlier, dusting the peaks of the Sierra Nevada and temporarily closing the Tioga Pass. It is almost sunset as we look back at Parker Mountain. Our trail has passed through a curious mix of sagebrush, pines, and aspens, all growing on top of an ancient lateral moraine deposited during the last ice age.
Once again, I fall into the trap of taking dozens of photos of a given place and being irritated by not posting all the good ones. I know that me, Justin and Lee have posted several shots of Parker Falls, but I really liked this one, so here it is.
Also, I haven't shot anything new in several days, so I have to post what I have.
Mono Co., California
The hike to this serene, little lake in mid-October was one of those in which I was quite warm when in direct sunlight and a little cold when in the shade--reminding me of its elevation with thin air--about 8,300 ft., (2,530 m)-- and the season. Some of the first snow had fallen in the previous few days.
I use the backdrop that came with NECA's huge Queen Alien figure, as I don't really have anything else to use.
By now, many of you have seen the fantastic shots uploaded by Lee, Justin and Nate from our trip on Saturday to Parker Falls in Bankhead National Forest. It was a great trip and I enjoyed getting to know everyone better.
I was given the Parker pen when I passed the 11+ exam which was in 1958 so it iis one of my oldest belongings. The feather - which is red on one side and blue on the other, I found in a book last month. In French both fountain pen and feather are "plume".
I was hiking to Parker Lake in the Eastern Sierra when my attention got diverted by a glowing aspen grove. I hiked down the hill to see what was going on, and I found this beautiful spot. It was late afternoon and while I took a few shots, I thought morning light would be better. Boy was I right-this is what it looks like in the morning. I never did make it to Parker Lake.
