Can you believe it?
Irving, TX (near Dallas) from the sky:
Along I-10 in west Texas:
Rugged mountains in New Mexico:
I hear cattle grazed these lands in the days of Geronimo and the O.K. Corral
At Texas Canyon in Arizona:
Saguaro cactus in Arizona
After spotting several initials on mountains,
we learned the letter represents the name of the town
High winds kick up the sand in Arizona:
Sunset over California:
This stark, barren land has a rugged beauty, but the rocky landscape makes me appreciate the lush and varied habitats of today's Carolinas.

Nice Pics, what camera you shooting with?
Thanks, Da. We use a Nikon, though some of the pics in the older posts were taken with a Canon Powershot.
Beautiful shots of your cross country trip! You are right, there's just something soothing about sitting in the green grass under a big shade tree!
I agree with you, Lew. While rugged and outstanding in its own right, the southwest's dry rock-and-dirt landscape (what I called "Mars, if it developed sparse vegetation") has too much of a lonely feel for me.
Again, I agree with you. Of course, I'm biased, but there's no place like a live oak tree:)
But that doesn't discount the beauty of these pictures. Wonderful.
Congratulations on your grandson!!! It looks like it was a fantastic and memorable trip.
A live oak would be a blessing out in those parts. Imagine hundreds of miles of this landscape in one, long, continuous stretch, with hardly a soul or dwelling in sight. It certainly makes one feel small.
