One of my favorite scenes while driving includes blooming sage, pinyon trees, dried grasses, dark canyons, distant mountains, and high clouds in the sky.

To keep myself awake on long road trips, I’ll pretend I’m painting the scenes. It’s like practicing without any materials.

Just another of my favorite scenes…the orange earth with a wisp of white sand, a majestic cliff, and a deep blue sky.

This one hales from KahNeeTa Resort in the Warm Springs Reservation of Oregon.

Here is another of my favorite desert scenes which includes sage, grasses, rolling hills, and a big blue sky with puffy clouds. I brings back memories of my strenuous solo hike at KahNeeTa near Warm Springs in Central Oregon.

Sage with a lonely rock

I love how the high desert grasses looks when everything is blooming, especially the sage.

This big rock sits by itself near the trail. I think it is a chunk of basalt.
