Motionless and silent it evokes in us an elusive hint of something unknown, unknowable, about to be revealed.

Since the desert does not act it seems to be waiting — but waiting for what?

JANUARY PHOTO Wilderness is not only a haven for native plants and animals, but it is also a refuge from society. It is a place to go to hear the wind and little else, see the stars and the galaxies, smell the pine trees, feel the cold water, touch the sky and the ground at the same time, listen to coyotes, eat the fresh snow, walk across the desert sands, and realize why its good to go outside of the city and the suburbs.
