 This is part of a huge ceramic pot.


 
 This is another pot with crackled glaze.


 
Brewer's Blackbird.  I love how this one turned out.


 The bright blue belly patches of a breeding male lizard makes a great kaleidoscope.


 
Hawks always seem to look mad.

 A damsel fly on my husband's thumb.



A New Mexico Whip-tail lizard ran around on my son's T-shirt and I couldn't resist making a kaleidoscope from the resulting picture.

This was a lightning strike I took in Cimarron, New Mexico.  Daytime lightning photography made this picture possible.  I used the Lightning Trigger, located at this link:   http://www.lightningtrigger.com


In New Mexico you can find red chile ristras hanging just about anywhere in the fall.  I made this from a picture of a ristra.  Doesn't it make you want some enchiladas with red sauce?
