It was a cloudy, overcast morning for this outing in Valley of Fire State Park, Nevada.
I’m always amazed at how some desert shrubs can survive with very little in the way of actual soil in which to put down roots.
A narrow wash with an apparent dead end, but is it the end of this canyon in the making or is this wash continuing to grow into a canyon? I suspect erosion will continue at a very slow rate and this short, shallow wash will grow into a deeper and longer canyon over a geologic time interval.
This was supposed to be a sunrise shoot, but as one can see there was little sunshine early this morning.
Stay tuned for more of Valley of Fire,

Beautiful landscape but too dry and arid for me.
Thanks, GeoDel. It is definitely hot and dry in that part of the U.S. much of the year. Even the wet season is not all that wet.
