The land west of the airport is seen generally as a wasteland, empty, muddy and full of flies. Yet spending time walking through the rushes and saltgrass, you can find and see a wide variety of things. Today, Murph and I found a dead coyote, the skull of another small animal - wide and flat. There were Greater Yellowlegs and Whimbrels eating in the streams, and a couple of Northern Harrier Hawks came by to take a look at us. Plus the scenery, which is wide open, desolate and richly full at the same time. Here's a few snaps from today. Murphy is a joy to be with - he plays hard all the time and occasionally does some goofy stuff!
This landscape was intriguing to me. I tried several different views, cropping out much of the foreground and then less; but never could find any compromise that looked better than the original picture. So sticking with it.

Might be considered a wasteland, but from my view of your excellent photo, it's beautiful!
