Every once in a while, I get a shot of the Damsel doing what she loves to do: taking pictures. We were at keys View in Joshua Tree National Park on a nice, clear day. Click on the image to enlarge.

Follow the 2A Blog Bash Tweets at the NRA Convention
We’re not into Twitter, but sometimes we read the latest about interesting events like the NRA Convention currently underway in Charlotte, NC. The 2A Blog Bash website has a sidebar on their web page with tweets from some of the bloggers in attendance. Use the scroll bar to view recent tweets from the convention.
We were part of the Bash at last year’s convention in Phoenix. Sadly, we’re involved in a land purchase deal here in both California and Arizona at the same time and couldn’t get away for this one. Next year, we hope we can attend again in Pittsburgh in 2011.

Immigration Front: DMV Helping Illegals
In the midst of absurd liberal cries of Nazism following the passage of the new Arizona immigration law, four employees of the California Department of Motor Vehicles were arrested for conspiring to sell false driver’s licenses and registrations to, among others, illegal immigrants. They were charged with grand theft, illegal computer access, bribery, and using documents to conceal immigration status, but perhaps they should be thanked for exposing yet another troubling aspect of illegal immigration. These DMV employees, no doubt, were not going to do background checks on those to whom they were issuing falsified documents — whether those who had come to the U.S. to work, or those who had come here to conspire against us.
Pale Pink Phalaenopsis Orchids
I am so pleased with my moth orchids this year. There are eight flowers on the stem, but I can only photograph their faces four at a time. Click on the image to enlarge.
Desert Colors
Crossing the desert in the springtime is a very colorful experience. The ocotillo and wildflowers in this photo offer a small sample of the variety of desert colors. Click on the image to enlarge.
