Legends, lore and images of the American Southwest
Welcome to my site – Tales from the Desert.
Over the past several years, I’ve been fortunate to explore all over the American Southwest. I’ve grown to truly love this area…the desert can be awe-inspiring, desolate, rough and beautiful all at the same time. The differences in terrain, colors, plant and animal life are truly amazing.
