Thank you, Michelle.....hard to get sand without prints, even though we were there before sunrise..oh well...it was fun. It does make you wonder where did all those people go! None were in sight for the longest time....Have a wonderful evening....Patricia #9309717

Magnificent indeed, Patricia. We were there in the Summer. I couldn't even get out of the car because of the heat. This beautiful image makes me want to go back.
And I really think the foot prints add interest to it. #9316655

Hi Kristen....Thanks for viewing and the compliment. Yes indeed it is a hot place...the best time to go is October/November through March/Arpil....May also might be o.k.....after than...even being an "adopted" Arizonan...I don't think I can stand that heat that long....Have a wonderful evening! Cheers.... #9317448

Thanks, Tammy....last year we didn't go to the dunes either. This year it was sort of a "mission" to get there early....Thanks for the comment! Cheers... #9318858

Hi Dee....Thank you for looking and commenting....I wonder where everyone goes to get those "perfect" sand dune shots without any footprints....a mystery.....could it be they go to Photoshop???? ;0) I'm sure there are times you can capture it, but going over and over again is the key....just one day and you either get lucky or you get a funny title....have a wonderful day! #9325290

Hi Dee, Thank you so much! I can access the internet, but am still working on getting the printer & CS4 back on line....it's a job, but someone has to do it! =^..^= have a great day! #9377031
