"Live" pix from "out there" in the field! This gallery is for photos we have emailed to SmugMug from a cell phone, probably because we are on the road or otherwise "out there" and thus not online. Check back often: hopefully you'll be entertained and perhaps inspired!

adventurecorps > Very strange flowers by Lake Hodges (San Diego County, CA). The camera in my phone doesn't do justice to the coloring and the subtlety of these very unusual flowers.
