Scene in the Southwest Gallery 1-2

In many of these scenes the animals and trees call out to us in a way that seems as timeless as the terrain they inhabit. Others speak of the rich and mixed cultural heritage of the Southwest--Native, Hispanic and American. In every case, the scenes are real, very real, and it is the art of digitography that has brought them alive. Be sure and check our other galleries; they overlap a little.

For your convenience, we've placed only a few images on each page of this gallery. When you are ready, go to pages 1, 3 in this gallery, or use the tags at the top to view other galleries on our site and place your order.

Heads Up. Oh dear! This deer seems to have found herself in a narrow area in front of a rocky cliff. Perhaps she came by to sniff the wonderful flowers growing on the ledge in front of her. If she is hungry enough…maybe she’ll eat the flowers as another way of appreciating them.

Javelina Haunt©. Texas Canyon is an unusual grouping of rounded boulders seemingly placed as a single small mountain on the desert floor. But wait--don’t move. There, look: A little javelina seems a bit lost. Her food, the leaves, cactus, and roots she enjoys grow a little further down the slope at the bottom of this boulder heap.

Just Born©. It is difficult to believe that this little ball of fluff will grow into an enormous great horned owl. Just now, she is a few weeks old and she is trying to pretend that she is fierce and not at all worried as you approach her. The only thing moving in the nest is her head. As you walk, somehow her head is always facing you.

Little Hooter©. You are walking through the woods a little before sunset. By this time many of the local fauna have rested after an active day. The woods are still, other than your quiet steps. There is a little soft noise in the next tree and you stop, carefully taking a look. A little western screech owl has just woken up for the evening, and she’s looking back at you!

The Lonely Bull©. The herd went back to the barn. Only the master of the pasture remained to guard the desert from interlopers. He’s friendly, really. But there is little question who is in charge here.

Morning Snack©. Road runners have a busy day. If they aren’t in a movie role, they have to fetch their own food. This little guy has managed to find himself a small lizard that just wasn’t fast enough this morning. The road runner’s crest is still up, indicating how pleased he is at his early morning catch.

Must Be Love©. What do two bobcats do when they aren’t out hunting up a little lunch. They could wander around, but why bother? The day is warm and there is no time like now to just relax and enjoy each other’s company. After all—they are cats.
