Fire in the Desert

On a Saturday night on the outskirts of Vegas, seemingly in the middle of nowhere, an "epyk" evening played out. With an event invite on facebook and word of mouth a group of friends and strangers gathered in the desert to dance, burn, drink, spin, camp, play and indulge.

Energy was amped and the mood was set by the dj's, furry critters alike, lights and toys all moving to the noize.

Flipping the night away .... tucked away into the landscape it was an escape .... clarifying the circle of confusion ....

Nevada SPCA Animal Rescue: But I thought I was your baby too.


Nevada SPCA Animal Rescue: But I thought I was your baby too.: Vicki needs a lot of comforting and reassurance.  She feels loss, despair, and confusion wondering why she lost her previous home when the family had a baby. Vicki is an earnest, young, 35-pound sweetheart, a brindle Heinz 57 with Bully, spayed girl, 2 years of age, available for adoption at Nevada SPCA. Adopt Vicki and she will give you her whole heart and unconditional devotion.

Nevada SPCA Animal Rescue: Why doesn't anyone want me?

Nevada SPCA Animal Rescue: Why doesn't anyone want me?:   Bandit has watched thousands of dogs of all ages, sizes, and temperaments get adopted while he is overlooked.  But he remains cheerful and hopeful, and thanks to volunteers and staff, he continues a remarkable recovery from abuse (though he is still anxious if grabbed on his neck). 

Bandit is a medium-size Shepherd mix, about 5 years of age, neutered boy, housetrained, crate-trained, good with most dogs, and available for adoption at Nevada SPCA. 

Special thanks to Pet'ographique for this handsome portrait to help him find a loving, forever home.

Fire Hoop Dancing



I took this video last Saturday night on the Colorado River south of Boulder City/Las Vegas. It was supposed to be a sort of Burning Man Decompression. Beautiful night, amazing people... Fire poi, fire hula hoops, fire dancing, boats, dj's, sound systems, several stages... all out in the middle of the desert... Flawless!.... that is, until the park rangers came barrelling in and broke it up forcing us all to leave :(  Still was fun up until then :)
