Tucson, AZ

On our way to Calexico, CA where we deliver tomorrow. We picked up this load of flour in Plainview, TX just north of Lubbock the other day. I spent the two days before that doing local work in Odessa, TX delivering tires for all the Wal-Mart and Sam's Club stores in the area. Not much fun since it's all driver unload. Each stop gets harder than the last because the trailer gets emptier and it's farther to get the tires to the dock.

The weather continues to stay dry but cloudy. After we drop this load I'm hoping to get something going north, maybe Washington. I shot a few pics of an ant hill out back here with my macro lens. The lens is fairly heavy and needs to be supported with a tripod so it won't break the connecting bracket on the camera body. The picture below, although not the best, is of one of the ants trying to move a small twig. The ant was about 1/4" long and I shot him from about a foot away using a 180mm macro lens. The spotlight and nightvision effect was done in post using photoshop.
