Very nice lightingAnd good information. Thanks for posting, Larry.
P.S. There are lots of sea monkeys in Nevada. They're the weekend visitors to Vegas from L.A.!

Re: Very nice lightingRight on, Bob! There's a song describing
how Arizona will SOMEDAY become "Ocean Front
Property." I hope it is soon, so I can do some
sea-kyacking and sail-boarding! Ya - hooooo!!

Fairy ShrimpGreat find Larry. It's a nice looking tank. I love days like that in Red Rocks with clouds around, yet still plenty of sunshine.
I remember seeing fairy shrimp a few years back in the pool on Bridge Mountain. Before that I had no idea they even lived in Red Rocks.

Re: Fairy ShrimpYes Anya .... clouds.
"I've looked at clouds from both sides now,
From up and down, and still somehow;
It's clouds illusions I recall.
I really don't know clouds at all."

Re: Just gorgeous...Waz up, Dan? I was just reading about
rattlesnakes.
"Arizona boasts the largest number of
(species) of rattlesnakes in the
United States."
That's good information to know,
I guess. Have a nice weekend, Dan!!

Love itGreat tinaja shot. I think the term for living long periods without water is anhydrobiosis "life without water". I have seen them (fairy shrimp) in Utah, amazing creatures, proof to the fact that life will find a way.

Re: Love itYup, there's a man who knows his
biology! Used to be several (trillions)
of fairy shrimp living in Mono Lake.
At least there was back in the 1990s,
the last time I went over Tioga Pass.
I still need to get up to Utah - time
is just zooming by. In the meantime,
life will always find a way. Thanks!!

Re: Love this oneThanks and ... I shot it with my
brother's Kodak digital. The lighting
was really "funky" that day. It had
just snowed (a few inches) in the
mountains earlier in the day. The
sun was breaking out, but just enough
to give it a 'subdued' feeling. The
Mohave Desert is quite the place.

Re: SweetHey there! Yeah it is getting hot here. I was out and hiked up Doyle Peak. It was a was a nice day. However Doyle Peak is boring to hike up. The saddle is great. Fremont next week.

Re: surrealThank you! Hope you don't mind me
asking, but your ancestry? SE Asia,
by any chance? My wife was born in
the Philippines. Yes, I came across
this tank in the Red Rocks. I didn't
even know it was there!! Take care.
