Sheep at a hay truck, at a ranch outside Adaven, NV, along the Cherry Creek Summit road. It's right in the geographic center of the state--note "Adaven" is "Nevada" spelled backwards! Note also the large cylindrical hay bale to the right, which hasn't been opened. These very large bales have become very common to discourage theft. It's hard to just throw one into the back of a pick-up!

"Peacock posing on a picnic table" (it mostly alliterates!). Tule Springs (now Floyd Lamb) County Park, at the northwest edge of Las Vegas, Nevada. Tule Springs, named (yes) for a local spring--of disproportionate importance in this area!--started as a working ranch, then morphed into a "wannabe divorcee dude ranch," which it remained until (IIRC) the early 60s or so. In the early-mid 20th century, Nevada's lenient (by the standards of the time) divorce laws led to a whole cottage industry of dude ranches targeted at people who needed to establish Nevada residency to get their divorce. These places went away as other states liberalized their divorce laws.

Off the Antelope Valley road, central Nevada, USA. The gray-green shrub is sagebrush; the lighter shrub with small yellow blossoms, to the left, is rabbitbrush.

Off California SR 139, on the Willow Creek State Wildlife area.

An abandoned ranch near the headwaters of the Reese River, with Arc Dome (11773 ft/3588 m) looming beyond. Arc Dome is the highest point in the Toiyabe Range and the centerpiece of the eponymous wilderness area.

Eden Creek, Kawich Range, Nevada, USA. Looking east to the Reveille Range on the skyline.

Kind of a fixer-upper...

Fixer upper! Seven Troughs Range, Pershing Co., Nevada, near the mouth of Cow Canyon.
