K is for Keyhole State Park, Wy.

This is a beautiful place to camp, the lake is clear blue, the rock formations are great with many hiking trails and only 30 miles or so to Devils Tower.  The picture was taken just coming on to sunset,the line of Geese was a bonus I did not expect. Post #11 to ABC Wednesday. 

J is for Joshua Tree

These Joshua trees are amazing, they can grow out of the cracks in the rocks. This one is in the Jumbo Rocks campground.  I could not make up my mind which picture to use, so I posted all three.
I did not think I could get a good sunset picture this close to the lights of Los Angeles, but I like this one.
These pictures were all taken at Joshua Tree National Park in California.  The park is located in the desert between Twenty Nine Palms and Indio in southern California.  this post # 9 on ABC Wednesday.

I is for Incredible ears

This Jack Rabbit stopped by our camp to see what he was missing. Lucky for me I had my camera, they are usually gone by the time I find it. Post # 8 on ABC Wednesday.

H is for Horned Toad Lizard

This lizard was walking across the parking lot in an RV park in Tucumcari, New Mexico.  He had come out of a muddy field to dry off.  I was going to wash him off with a hose, but he was too fast for me.  This is post #7 on ABC Wednesday.

G is for Good Grip

This beautiful acrobatic bird looks like he is asleep, but I think he just blinked as I took the picture. This is another photo taken at the Albuquerque Zoo. I seem to be posting a New Mexico travel log.  Post # 7 on ABC Wednesday.
 

E is for enough said.

This sign is on the wall of Tinkertown, an amazing museum of one man's work. Ross J. Ward was the artist, sculptor, carver who created Tinkertown.  His motto was " I created all this while you were watching television".  This rambling museum has large hand carved dioramas of complete western towns, circus big tops and a world class collection of folk art and antiques, there is even a sailboat that a relative sailed around the world.   Tinkertown is closed for the winter, and will re-open April 1 2009.  Tinkertown is located north east of Albuquerque, New Mexico on highway 536 on the road to Sandia ski area.  Post # 5 on ABC Wednesday.

D is for Dog Canyon

Canon Del Perro, Canyon of the dog, is located 11 miles south of Alamogordo, New Mexico.  During the indian wars between 1859 and 1881 Dog Canyon was the setting of more violence than any other locale in the west.  Dog Canyon is one of the few canyons that has water.  In 1881 the Apache chief Nana's band was the last of the hostile Apaches to camp in Dog Canyon before fleeing to Mexico.  The canyon is part of Oliver Lee state park.  Hmm; Oliver Lee there's a story for another time.  This is my fourth post to ABC Wednesday.
