Nevada Skies in July are almost as good as November skies, but not quite. This was taken in 2007.

Ruby took this one on a cold day. Not sure what she would say about it. Maybe no words are needed. Just a beautiful shot of the mountains west of Pyramid lake on Jan 3rd 09. Man it must have been a tough winter in the old days.

Washoe Lake in May 2008. One of my favorite pictures due to the shade to tree visual.

You get up REALLY quiet. Fix a cup of cowboy coffee, build a small fire, and just enjoy what you will try to describe to everyone else when they wake up.

Stormy morning

noreply@blogger.com (Photographs taken by Ruby Jennings and Mark Kimball) — Wed, 24 Dec 2008 00:20:00 +0000

Predawn on the ridge between Mt. Rose and Slide Mtn. Snowshoeing about three hrs. after the storm 12/19/07. Elev approx. 9200' Temp -10 Wind 40 mph+ It is the extremes that you can experience in Nevada that make such a great place. Of coarse you gotta get up early too.

November Skies

There is something to be said for the November skies of Nevada. A sense of Nostalgia comes over you as you gaze in admiration of our Nevada skies. This was taken on Interstate 80 West to Reno from Fernley Nevada. November 2007.

The branches of the old cottonwood reach up as if to tease the lightning storm. You wonder how long the game has gone on between them.

We started the blog with pics of the wild horses. They are truly one of great animals that are associated with our state. Other animals that we have are a little more rare and definitely more of a challenge to photograph.

this Blue Heron took a 1.5 hours of kayaking through spiderwebs in the predawn. The payoff was spectacular as I found a usually shy and easily spooked bird reluctant to leave the nest it was guarding.

MA & New Baby

noreply@blogger.com (Photographs taken by Ruby Jennings and Mark Kimball) — Sun, 21 Dec 2008 23:32:00 +0000

This is a tough way to start life being born in the Northern Nevada winter, as a baby wild horse stays close to its mother. We fist saw this female who we named MA (Mama Arrowhead) about 1 month ago and this 2nd trip out to see the herd we saw her baby, we tracked the markings to the first photos to discover its really her.
