Desert Snow

It's obviously been a long time since I last posted, so a little catch-up is in order. As of July 2009, I have relocated to Las Vegas, Nevada. While I did do some traveling last year, most of it involved several trips back and forth to Texas moving my stuff and visiting family. I did take a couple of short vacation trips, but never got around to posting any of the photos. Since most of the people who read this have already seen them by now, I will just pick things up from here.

One of the reasons I moved to Las Vegas was the close proximity to several great, photogenic hiking places in and around the area. The closest is probably Red Rock Canyon, which is about 25 minutes from my house. It's a great way to get out of the city for an afternoon and do some hiking, or just some scenic driving. Last week, we had a rare stretch of rain in Las Vegas, which made today's and yesterday's outings to Red Rock that much more delightful. Not only was the weather sunny at last, the park was covered up in snow. A nice silver (err... white) lining to the week of gray.
