Thanks, Jon, the sun was directly overhead - I caught all of the colors just right - what a beautiful view from that foreclosure property.

Gary, the house was very well cared for, I knew the folks renting it before it was foreclosed.  Now the water is off, so the yard will dry up in this heat, but that is an easy fix.

Charles - it was a lucky shot, I am not that fast.  )  The roadrunner is around there all the time, he must live in the desert surrounding the golf course.

Regina - We think the roadrunner does live there, he perches on that wall a lot, enjoying the view - I guess he doesn't know his home is bank owned now.

Yes, Richard.  Mike should be scared.  Very scared.

Thanks, Steve, I was actually in a pretty uncomfortable position.

Katerina - No, just a clean shot - I don't know how to use photo shop.  Mesquite is all natural desert with all different elevations and terrains with mountains all around - then we have the 7 golf courses, which are kept green.  It looks like this all year and the flowers bloom from early spring till late fall.

I was taking some backyard pics of this foreclosure home for an out of town buyer and it was like the roadrunner was posing for me.  :)

Hi Terri,  How do you tell a roadrunner that he is living in a bank owned home?

Todd, that's Hollywood for ya!  I just recently found out that I am taller than Mel Gibson.
