Nice dress Fish, I like the fabric and neck line - to bad it wasn't about 4 inches longer but hey if you've got the legs for it you might as well show them, maybe Karen will lend you her stalkings. :) I like your name rags and bones - makes me think of rags and feathers from the thrift store.

Pinons, junipers for sure. But also, creosotes, purple-bloomed beaver-tail cacti, fish-hooks, mallows, brittle bush, j...
