Most
 of us are rarely able to go to faraway or exotic locations to 
photograph epic landscapes.  But we can always find intimate, 
interesting and often beautiful vignettes in our own neighborhood.  I 
call these 'drive by shootings'.  (Side note: I must say, NO PEOPLE ARE 
SHOT, since one time someone  actually thought I meant someone was 
literally shot in the neighborhood!)   But that phrase so aptly 
describes many of my photos because I often find my subjects by the side
 of the road.   You would not think I took this photo in a desert 
climate with the temperature hovering around 100 degrees.
