Playing at the Imperial Sand Dunes
Playing at the Imperial Sand Dunes
We are boondocked just barely into California near Yuma. Al had his dentists appointments in Algodones, Mex. yesterday and this is a good place to stay for that. We are only here a couple nights, so last night I decided I better take Torrey to the sand dunes to play, since she loves sand about as much as snow. The Imperial sand dunes encompass a huge area. They are 40 miles long, and average 5 miles wide. They are a very pretty soft pink color, and super fine, and Torrey always has a blast here. Plus, at sunset the shadows and colors are amazing for photos.
As you can imagine, the area is poplar with people on four wheelers, sand rails, all that stuff. We found this quite little area of the dunes a few years ago, so we don’t have to worry about getting ran over. Which is perfect for Torrey and I to play her favorite game.
She loves to run at me as I photograph her. It’s a game we play in the desert all the time, but is especially fun in sand.
I got some very cool photos of the ripply, and wavy sand too.
It’s tough being a super model.
Unfortunately, Al has to come back to the dentist the end of this month. The infection still hadn’t gone away, so they gave him some more antibiotics to take, and another 3 week wait. But, maybe Torrey can have another evening play at the sand dunes.
Fantastic shots of patterns in the sand and of course Torrey the supper dog model. Remebering the sand dunes in California is a treasure of a memory for me. Thanks for bringing me back to that; “Sands of time”. Sorry Al’s dental problems presist. Sounds like an easy fix. Good to get that taken care of before it gets worst. Jaw loss can accur if infection is left. Enjoy life and live in that moment while your there. You never know what the tide will bring in.
We were amazed when we saw those dunes! Incredible how big the area is! You captured their beauty so well… and they are constantly changing.
Your photos show how thrilled Torrey was. What a sweetie!
Feel better to your husband.
We hope Al’s infection clears up, that is no fun! Those photos could be taken in Saudi Arabia or here from the looks of the sand. Very fun.
The light was wonderful, the sand was wonderful, and she was an incredible model! My sheltie loves to run at me when I’m photographing her too…treats are involved. Glad you guys had so much fun!
Torrey is such a beautiful dog! She looks so happy! I imagine running through that sand is great exercise for her as well. Hope Al’s infection gets cleared up soon, so he can get this behind him.
