Some Nature on the way to Amarillo.

While on the way to Amarillo, I decided to snap some photos of the Mountains and such. Here are a few shots I took. Sorry if they are fuzzy to the eye, but we were in 100 degree heat, the windows were kind of dirty, and we were moving. These are the mountains in Arizona.

                                              At the very start of the mountains.

                                              Brother snapped this, and I thought it deserved to be
                                                              on my blog. So beautiful!

                                              Some layers that were exposed to hard-core
                                              weathering.

Here are some pictures of New Mexico. Unfortunately, my mom somehow, someway deleted a HUGE amount of pictures, and I have very few shots up ahead...

                                               Some mountains I thought looked pretty awesome.

Here are the pictures I got in and near Texas. Unfortunately, I have none after these, and only one animal.

Sadly, I had a ton of wildlife pictures, but those were amongst the deleted shots. I can name a couple of them off the top of my head: A large community of Prairie Dogs, two deer. a beautiful stray Egyptian Blue something-I-can't-spell-or-pronounce cat (Very valuable here in the US, I believe.), a colorful wasp, many damselflies, several dragonflies, some species of Blind Snake, and a tiny tiny tiny toad that fit on my pinky nail. Too bad I can't post them.

                                              Just outside of Texas, taken to show how flat it is
                                               out there.

Some wild flowers I shot out of boredom. I might've gotten more flowers in here, but read up above these pictures, and you will know why I couldn't post them... >-< GRRR! Finally, the only animal pics I have... Not very good quality, but they will have to suffice for now.

                                              What I thought was a Damselfly at a glance, but soon
                                              realized it wasn't when in landed on me and folded it's
                                              wings completely flat on it'sbody. It also had atennae
                                              and a mouth-part like a butterfly's which it used to
                                              feel around my hand, arm and neck as it crawled on
                                              me.    
                                         

Finally, a lone prairie dog. Seems bored doesn't he? I thought it would be worth my time getting the little guy in a shot before the light turned green.
