Shinob Kibe Paintbrush Near a concrete arrow, an aviation navigation aid from sometime around 1930, atop the Shinob Kibe mesa in Washington, Utah (the community next-door to St. George, Utah where I live), I came across some Indian Paintbrush, booming early admid the unusually green surroundings (unusually green for the desert due to recent unusually plentiful rain).

I got lucky. My camera caught just the angle I was looking for. And this shot filled my camera's compact flash card, so even if I'd wanted to, I couldn't have taken any more pictures.

Today at church I put the image on my notebook computer as my desktop wallpaper. (I bring my laptop computer to church to take minutes at some of the meetings I attend.) I liked the image so much, I decided to stick it on my web site as a new wallpaper selection.
