For a second I thought I saw E.T. hovering over the scene; then I realized it was a spot on my monitor glass. Hahaha. But really Craig, this is a very interesting photograph, like a real-life sci-fi movie scene. Thanks for posting this.

So, do these grow wild here or were they transplanted from that place in Nevada with all the aliens? They look like odd little flowers growing randomly in the desert.
