forest creatures...

While hiking in the woods yesterday morning, we spotted a few whimsical beasts.  A water dragon roared to the surface of the river.

A black bear spied from a safe distance.

And a horned owl glared from the two-dimensional plane.

Our neighbors are rebuilding their house, and before it is demolished in a few days they allowed the local volunteer fire department to use the property for training.  For hours the firemen (and one firewoman) wielded axes and other entry tools, breaking through windows and cutting through the roof, as the neighborhood came out to watch.

On the street: Las Vegas

For a couple of hours yesterday afternoon I walked the strip...admiring the shadows, the shadowy figures, the costumes, the smiles, the lovers, and even a baby duckling.  My favorite shot was this one taken of a man seemingly absorbed in thought while absorbing the day's remaining sunlight.

Here are a few other mirages I found while wandering the desert of the real.
