Join me on a Jeep Tour viewing the spectacular scenery in the Sonoran Desert National Monument

Here are a few more sunset silhouette shots from last night's search for the Comet A-3, which could not be seen due to the fierce light from the Moon …you can see a low profile of 2 peaks in the distance, and below is the story about them, which I had posted about previously.

Toponymy: Official Place Names on the Landscape.
Re-naming racist place names on maps by a little known Federal body called the Board on Geographic Names.
This is an example I found near me in the Sonoran Desert National Monument, where I frequently explore. These are pics of what seems like a woman lying on the ground, and for decades the mountain formation was called “Squaw Tits.” This derogatory name to both Native Americans and women was finally changed in February, 2021, to Isanaklesh Peaks, which in the Apache language means Mother Earth... Sonoran Desert National Monument, 11/2/22
Here is an article about this important topic.

Went out tonight to try and see the Comet, but the Moon was so bright it washed out the sky making it impossible to see the smudge of Comet A-3. But got some cool sunset shots, and a few silhouette pics of plants framed against the sunset in the background. 🌅

Deposition of Sand in a Desert Wash, Sonoran Desert National Monument, Southern Arizona
A huge amount of sand was deposited in this washes’ channel. I visit here often, as it is a stop on one of my Jeep Tour’s into the Sonoran Desert National Monument. There had been some tremendous and violent thunderstorms the night before. The channel usually looks like it does in the pic of my Jeep, minus the sand berm I am on…all flat! The last pic of the crested saguaro, an unusual mutation where a saguaro creates a fan shape instead of a column, is from another time, showing the flat channel there.

Went on a fantastic Ramble with Scott and Peter, relatives from out of town here for my wife Alice's Celebration of Life on Saturday. We all really needed this peaceful and serene experience after a very tough month!
Here are a bunch from our very early morning Ramble to beat the heat.
This is the Sonoran Desert National Monument, Southern Arizona.🌵🌵

Spectacular in any direction!
Shot from on top of a high bank of the wash I was standing over.
The first 2 are the view looking southwest along this wash, and the last 2 are facing the opposite direction, looking to the northeast.

I was back here in the remote Javelina Mountains looking for wildflowers that I posted about earlier. This is an amazing Saguaro Forest, and notice the incredible density of Saguaros at the base of the mountains!
