This isn't an image of just any mustang, this is a Carter Reservoir Spanish mustang. They've been DNA tested to the original Iberian stock brought to the Americas by the murderous Conquistadors. This isolated herd of horses in the far NW corner of Washoe County, Nevada, feature primitive (dun factor) markings including leg stripes, breast herringbones, dorsal stripes, black facial stripes, and capes.

Oh, WOW, a lifer!--it's a pterosaur, perhaps a Pterodactylus antiquus?...um, wait, sorry, it's just a common Ardea herodias (great blue heron), rats!

I have to say, when I see them flying from a distance it's the first thing I think of: that's probably what a pterosaur looked like in the air. Sandhill cranes make me think that as well. (Photo: Lake Park, Reno, Nevada, 2020.)

I don't know how I missed this awesome geology map tool, saw it recently here on Mastodon (and now I've forgotten who to credit for it) but here you go, just zoom in on any region to find out about the rock formations, fossils, and faults. You can also draw elevation profiles. And the entries contain linked citations to the reports the information was drawn from!

The Nevada Northern Railway Museum in Ely is the gold standard for train buffs. With the exception of the gift shop, it is as if the entire railyard was frozen in time from the 1930s. The machine shop (my favorite!) is fully operational and visitors are free to walk in and roam around at will. I'll post some photos of the machine shop later...stay tuned! #SteamTrain #RailRoad #SteamEngine #RailYard #Museum #Nevada #History #Train #BlackAndWhite #Photography #OldWest #LinuxPhotography

Mono Lake, a saline soda lake in the Eastern Sierra of Calif., is known for its tufa formations. This is a shot looking south toward the Milky Way from Black Point on the north shore. Hiking down that night I was listening to the first episode of Terrible Lizards with paleontologist David Hone. He was talking about how T-Rex may have hunted. It was kind of creepy, and being slightly lost as well, added to the creepiness.

Bonsai Rock in Lake Tahoe, Nevada, is a large granite boulder just off the eastern shoreline. It's name comes from the two small "bonsai" trees growing in cracks at the top of the rock. The photo shows the rock in a mirror still lake with a red-orange sunset and distant mountain peaks in the background. (12/29/2017).
