Thank heavens we still have the beauty of nature to appreciate.
I really like the image, "The brink of a barranca" because of the hard contrast between the ocotillos and the background. Now, however, I have to consult my Spanish-English translation dictionary to find out what a barranca is. (Though I studied Spanish all through middle and high school, and one year in college, I don't remember a lot. I took a two-term college refresher when I came back from Costa Rica and realized I was no longer proficient, but it didn't help much; I don't use Spanish frequently.)
I minored in Spanish in college, Scott, and got to use it quite a bit with my amigos puertorriqueños in Ohio. For the past few years I've been studying Italian, trying to become more fluent. Since Spanish and Italian are about 80% the same I keep getting myself confused about which language I'm trying to speak.
