  • This petroglyph of a circle bisected by a straight line is a classic example of the "water glyph" identified by Bob Ford and Dixon Spendlove in their explorations of Anasazi petroglyphs in southern Utah, northern Arizona, and southeastern Nevada. Ford and Spendlove have discovered that such symbols point to and mark water sources.  Did this glyph from Petroglyphs National Monument convey the proximity of the river we know as Rio Grande?

  • Vegetation is sparse at the top of Sky City's arid mesa.  Plants need water, and, historically, water for a family's use was hand-carried up the cliff.  Agriculture was only developed in the valley below.  This cottonwood tree, its winter-barren branches awaiting spring's arrival, has been nurtured for decades to provide beauty and shade for its human brothers and sisters.

  • A Canada goose rests on the margin of a man-made urban lake in a master-planned community in Las Vegas, Nevada.  A profile view of the bird's black-and-white head displays an alert, sparkling eye; the image's foreground reveals detailed feather structure of the wings folded over the bird's back. Predominating colors in the image are green, tan, black, and white.

  • An adolescent Ring-billed seagull, sporting adult plumage on his torso and wings while juvenile spotted plumage still adorns his head, stands at the shoreline and studies the waves' ebb and flow.  The mirror-like surface of wet sand at the bird's feet displays his reflection.  Occupying a beach that is the border between earth and ocean, the adolescent seagull also inhabits a moment in time that is the threshold between his immaturity and his adulthood.
