I got to the Mesquite Flat Sand Dunes in Death Valley quite late today so I only got a couple of photos. I wanted to test this technique / editing. I'll be around here for a couple of days. So I'll be on it tomorrow. Get out there early, hike way to the backside to get away from all of the tourist footprints, and find some spots to shoot when the sun gets low.

A black and white landscape photo of ripples in the sand dune. The editing has made the photo very high contrast with black borders and a beam of light shinning in from the lower left to the upper right. The ripples are very prominent with nearly black backsides and very bright front sides where the low angle sunlight was hitting them.

Learned pebble bees exist...

Genus Dianthidium

#Bees#Pollinators#Desert#Ecology#Invertebrates#nature

A bee's nest made from resin and tiny pebbles from the desert floor. It is located at the "V" of two twigs on a dead desert plant of unknown origin. The pebbles are various colors (pink, tan, black, etc.) and are set in dark brown resin. A hand is behind the nest for comparison and clarity of photo; the nest is less than half of one small-handed female's finger tip in size.

I still think it's incredible to live someplace where dragon fruit grows in my yard and we eat it. (Even if not very often, and much smaller than the ones in the store.) I'm from Iowa, and this amazes me. #Tucson#Desert#Arizona

Dragon fruit sliced open, white with small black seeds and red rind.  Next to a knife with wooden handle on the counter.

A planned trade corridor linking the landlocked Sahel to the Atlantic is at the heart of an ambitious Moroccan project to tackle regional instability and consolidate its grip on disputed Western Sahara. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2025/06/30/world/morocco-sahel-atlantic-ocean/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #worldnews #morocco #sahel #desert #atlanticocean #africa #saharadesert
