Wow, bama, you and elsie have been bitten by the dune bugs.

And Alicia I can hear your voice too when I read your posts, and I'm very happy that I'm going to meet you again.

Yep, elsieaustin, I love the desert too.

"Yeah, the sand gets in your blood. And everywhere else too!"

Ain't that the truth, Abby Dawg. I am still finding grains of sand in my mouth, my hair, in my shoes, in the bed--

"Why were your shoes in the bed?"

Sigh. But you know what was weird out there, Alicia? Aside from my weird dawg and her wild runnin' all over the dunes, that is. What was weird was that I didn't hear any...

Haha, O Vast Expanse of Somewhat Salty Yet Sage Sayings! I'll have you know that I am also beginning to look like my mother from the front as well as behind. Hey, where did my chin go, huh? Oh, wait, I never did have one of those strong and prominent chins. But I do have prominent other things now. Like my little muffin top. Ah, yes, my little muffin top. Grey hair. That hint of a slump threatening to become my mother's hump.

"Your mom didn't really have a hump, did...

*grinning at the interchange between Unwise Ocean and Bamaxena* We really are one big happy family here, aren't we? I can hear your voice now as I read your words, Unwise Ocean, and I miss you! No one warned me that after you get to know someone through pixels, and then it's finally face to face for a moment, pixels don't feel quite enough afterwards. Almost, but not quite! Bamaxena, I can't wait to see you at last.

I felt as if I had stumbled onto...

Unless your Dorian Gray, it was always bound to happen (from someone who's been through it and not yesterday), but think of the alternative.

Thanks, O Lovely Goddess of the Dawn Who Shimmers in the Night Sky to Remind Mere Mortals of the Beauty of the Morn and Lifts our Hearts with the Promise of Her Return... It's kinda long for a nickname, but it's kinda catchy, donchathink?

I think that pic of Abby in the Dunes is one of my favorites of her. She pretty much thinks that this whole trip was worth it just becuz of all that sand to run and play in.

Thanks, O Ocean of Wisdom! And just think, if you coulda been there to see me, you coulda seen what Jackie saw when she took those gods-be-danged awful photos of me while I was peering through the viewfinder and showed me the awful truth: I look just like my mother from behind! AAAAIIIIEEEEEE! I'm an old woman! It's finally happened! ARGH!

Thanks, LK! I love the ones of Abby Dawg too. I've got some other photos of her playing in the sand with her friend, Roxy, a black lab/pitbull mix. They're cute together. I'd love to take 'em out to the dunes again, but it's an all-day exhausting event, so I think they'll have to settle for a nearby park for now.

Aw, great photos, bama! I love the ones of the dunes!

Oh, and this one: http://images.yuku.com/image/jpeg/d2c3538e5f440a5567dc668212f7261887f6f5f.jpg is totally cool!

Hey there, Wise One!

Yeah, she's funny, alright. A real character. More fun than a barrel of monkeys. She just gotta bath and she ran around the house real fast, hopin' she could outrun the water on her. She left so much sand in that tub, I'm surprised there's any sand dunes left. My apologies to all the tourists who will drive all the way out there only to find a great empty spot where the dunes once stood. I...

Beautiful photos bama, some of them a bit like moonscapes.
Love the photo of Abby pulling you with the leash. She's a funny, cute dog.

Yep, Paks has some interesting writing which I like very much. Especially since she adds her illustrations to them. That is sooo cool! I'm glad you surfed over there, wlfy. And I like your photos, I love to photograph clouds too. Ya know, if this trip has taught me anything, it's that I don't know...

Read some of her poetry. Nice stuff. I haven't looked at any of my writing's for awhile. To depressing, and I don't believe any of them are any good. Maybe I'll share them again one day ... first plan is this get together, and then a new computer. So I can keep all my stuff in one place.

Give Abby dawg a hug. See ya soon!

I do love the photo's ... I have some of a sky I want to post, I just haven't had a chance yet. We had some rain ... and...

Thanks, wlfeyes! And here are more photos. These are of the Devil's Golf Course in Death Valley. These may look like nice soft little waves, but if you fell on any of these "soft little waves," you might break a hip! Or your poor little head. Or your brand new camera. Yikes! Fortunately, my infamous co-ordination (or lack thereof) did not cause me any damage...

This is, I think, a mesquite tree. It was at the visitors' center where Abby Dawg discovered that not all grass feels good to li'l dawggie paws. I had to carry her to the car and pull nasty...
