A xenolith (Ancient Greek meaning “foreign rock”) is a rock fragment which becomes enveloped in a larger rock during hardening. I captured this great xenolith in the Marcus Landslide area yesterday. Hope I can remember this location (forgot my GPS) so I can catch the Hedgehog and Brittlebush in bloom. What a scene that would be!

I noticed this spider late yesterday and was mesmerized. He was repairing his web and I could hardly believe how fast he was doing it. I grabbed a quick handheld shot but didn’t have my ISO high enough so it wasn’t in focus. A little Pixel Bender Oil Paint made it good enough for photo of the day. I hope to get a better picture of him/her later.

My willing climber gives perspective to the Rock Knob Tortoise (on right) and a Giant Head (left).

This is a great time of year to capture silhouettes at sunrise because you don’t have to get up very early. Then even if you’re not lucky enough to have a willing subject, you can always count on the Saguaros!

Endless photo ops and rock climbing available in our backyard…aka the McDowell Sonoran Preserve! Chris led me on a fantastic hike, yesterday afternoon, to Tom’s Thumb via a challenging (for me) 1800 foot elevation gain trail. It’s difficult for him to pass a huge boulder without trying to climb it which is fine with me especially when I see a rock face 🙂
