Great Basin Life exists … between … high desert expanses and majestic mountain wilderness.
Daily, I watch the winds of change sweeping away what remains of our western culture and heritage, and the land that has produced them.
My mission is to preserve as much as I can, of that which will soon vanish, through my photography.

Thanks very much, Scott!

This is incredible and works very well. Amazing roses!
Thank you, Lund! These yellow roses are abundant, this year. :)

What a beautiful neighbourhood! How perfectly they fit each other! Both artistically and masterly done! Compliments, my dear friend!:)
Thank you, Arvy – both shots in the same yard, but these roses are blooming all over town. I have never seen so many here, before!
– Arla M. Ruggles
Beautiful captures:)
Thank you, Vanessa!

Well done Arla…!!!
Thanks, Susan!

Oh so beautiful!! Arvy referred me to you and I am looking forward to seeing more of your work!! :)))
Thank you so much, Polly! (And to Arvy, for pointing you my way :D)
(Are you related to the Peacocks of Lund, NV?)

Beautiful, Arla!!! A fav for me! I love the contrast of the yellow roses against that fence – it’s beautiful!
Thanks, Ann! I like that combination, too; delicate and rough. :)

Beautiful image!
Thank you, Shelly!

I don’t have any family in NV, however, it’s a small world and they could be distant relatives – one never knows!! If you see them, ask them if they could have descended from Georgia. Also, I’m glad that Arvy did point you my way – I love Nevada and your art is beautiful!! :))))
You’re too kind, Polly!
My former sister-in-law was (and probably still is) married to a Peacock; I haven’t seen any of them since @ 1984. I believe the family came from Utah before settling in NV – and that’s about all I know about them. ;)

My favourite colour rose! This is gorgeous, a fave for me!! thanks..
Mine, too, Kat!
My grandfather had these in his yard, and their fragrance always brings back happy memories of my childhood. These have a unique honey-like scent.
