Having recently returned from a New Mexico adventure with camera in hand, I shall proceed to post my very first set of pictures. Some boring, some not so boring. But all amusing to me.
The beautiful stink bug, wild and free. He has buried his head in the sand and is about ready to shoot us as we shove our cameras up his throat to get a good picture. I've smelled one once, and they aren't too bad. Not nearly as sophisticated as skunks. They rarely spray, only threatening.
Ahhh. . . the lonely yucca, swaying in the breeze. Such clouds as are in the background are a rare sight in high desert. It's usually too dry for clouds, but on this visit it was cloudy most days.
How this little scene came about is beyond me, but it's cool!

Ah, that's better. How big are stink bugs? I think I ran into one at baker. The thing was huge!
I reckon they're about 1&1/2 inches long. They're not that big. Wikipedia notes that their stink comes from the aldehyde family of chemicals, (for you chemists).
Wow! Quite the photographer now, huh, Yad?
Good words.
