Ash Meadows National Wildlife Refuge

Ash Meadows is the largest remaining oasis in the Mojave Desert. It is in Nevada east of Death Valley National Park in the Amargosa Valley and is home to many unique plants and animals. This is Longstreet Spring, one of the many springs in the area and home to one of the species of Pupfish that are found in the refuge's springs (see inset). What is especially interesting is that where Pupfish are found each area has its own species. Both photos were taken by my wife.
