This is one more shot from Titus Canyon in Death Valley and the beginning of our trip through southern California, Nevada, and Utah. The photo was taken by my wife and shows our minivan in one of the narrowest and deepest parts of the canyon. The photo was taken at noon when the light was just beginning to penetrate the canyon and gives a sense of the immensity and loneliness of the place.

This is another view of Titus Canyon, this from one of the higher elevations in the canyon. Death valley seems a long time ago now though it was only last week. We are now further south in California and have spent the last four days at Joshua Tree National Park, Anza-Borrego Desert State Park and Salton Sea National Wildlife Refuge.

In a more open area along the Titus Canyon Road in Death Valley National Park we were able to get photos of a Western Meadowlark and here he is. This is not selective coloring but simply the background and plants as they actually appeared.

After driving through the night we arrived in Beatty, Nevada, at daybreak and after a brief stop for petrol headed for Death Valley. Just outside Beatty we picked up the Titus Canyon Road a rough, unpaved road that was closed a year ago when we were in the park. We spent the morning and part of the afternoon driving through the Canyon.
