The Valley of Fire derives its name from red sandstone formations, formed from great shifting sand dunes during the age of dinosaurs, 150 million years ago. Complex uplifting and faulting of the region, followed by extensive erosion, have created the present landscape. Other important rock formations include limestones, shales, and conglomerates. Prehistoric users of the Valley of Fire included the Basket Maker people and later the Anasazi Pueblo farmers from the nearby fertile Moapa Valley. The span of approximate occupation has been dated from 300 B.C. to 1150 A.D. Their visits probably involved hunting, food gathering, and religious ceremonies, although scarcity of water would have limited the length of their stay. Fine examples of rock art left by these ancient peoples can be found at several sites within the park.

R.I.P Daddy, the GOAT pitbull (Redman and Cesar Millan’s dog)
I’m a big fan of the Nat-Geo show “The Dog Whisperer,” and Cesar Millan’s training partner Daddy, the pitbull. If you’ve ever watched the show, Millan would send in Daddy to calm the most frenetic spazztic, even dangerous dog client. Amazing to watch. And even more amazing because Daddy was originally a bad-apple himself, owned by Redman, and given up to Cesar because he was too unruly…at 4-months old!
According to reports, 16 yr old Daddy passed away over the weekend, after beating cancer once, and after mentoring his own protege, a blue-nose pit named Junior
Cesar Millan has set up Daddy’s Emergency Animal Rescue Fund, to help dogs who are victims of abuse, violence or disaster. You can donate here.

A Rose on Concrete
As i was walking, i saw this Rose laying on the concrete and it symbolized so much to me.
869-GIRL
This is mobile advertising at its best here in Vegas. These guys drive up & down the strip all day & night promoting some of these services. But don't get it confused, prostitution is NOT LEGAL in Clark County Nevada, aka Las Vegas. It's a fine line on the issue, no money exchange for sexual activities. Most of these promotions are for escort services, which after the fact, you know what it is once they get to your room or location.
Just be careful is all i can say.....Would be rather sad to come out & end up on Las Vegas Cops edition for trying to buy some A$$! lol....
Stairway to......
This is the Stairway to any place one chooses! This is actually a reflection & representation of climbing higher to achieve certain goals & things. At least this was what i visioned as i was shooting this shot!
A Real Fish Tank
This is the H2O tank at the Golden Nugget casino hotel on Freemont st. This is a swimming pool with the shark tank in the middle, as you can see in the middle of the tank, its a tube to slide through.
Lol I always wonder how the sharks view someone sliding through there like that...
