Cerro Castellan
A wonderfully clear day, really sets off the terrain and color of Cerro Castellan. I am awed at the richness and diversity of the landscape. At times it seems you are on another planet. I cannot help feeling small and humbled by it all.

Foxey Lady
I was plopped down watching the sunset. The shadows were getting long and she sneaked up quietly and stayed a while. In fact, she seemed to enjoy the attention I paid.
