EDUCATED NOSES

Second day at Rusty's, Rodeo, NV.  This is one of the nicer RV parks around the country.  The folks here have put a lot of energy into bringing it back to life after buying a pretty much run-down mess four years ago. 

In an area that once was no more than dry rocks and dusty scrub brush, a pond is now home to many geese, birds and, I'm sure, a few snakes.  Jackie's new-new lens sure brings the birds up close.

Another of the many birds that stop by the new pond for a drink and bath.  "White-crowned Sparrow"

Yep, we again biked up to the inspection station and stopped by the Border Patrol boys.  Were old hat to them now so we get no more than a bored wave.  This time I pulled over to ask the pooch handler if a picture was permissible and was given an "almost" cheerful reply, "Sure, just don't get too close to old Sneeze, (pronounced Sneeze-ee)  he's unpredictable.  I didn't need to be told that twice.

                                                               Sneeze-ee being given a drug test. 

Nothing dramatic in the sunset department today but the quiet of a desert evening is reward enough.
