This morning Barbara, Toby and I visited nearby Kolob Canyon. Kolob Canyon is part of Zion National Park (NP). This is a beautiful but small park that most people who visit it can see the entire area in about an hour. It’s scenic drive is only five miles long. But if you really want toContinue reading “Kolob Canyon”

Recently, Barbara, Toby and I visited Bryce Canyon National Park. This is a beautiful park with its multicolored rock, hoodoo’s, canyon walls, windows and stunning vistas. The rocks, the Clarion Formation, that make up Bryce Canyon were formed approximately 50 million years ago in shallow lakes that covered the region. When the Colorado Plateau beganContinue reading “Bryce Canyon National Park”

Currently Barbara and I are staying at the Indian Peaks RV park just south of Cedar City, Utah. This is a no frills park, located on Cedar Band Tribal land, with great views of the surrounding areas, hiking trails and is not far from two national parks and two national monuments, Bryce Canyon, Zion, CedarContinue reading “Indian Peaks”

Yesterday our friends Kathy and Shane took Barbara and me on a tour of the countryside west of Cedar City, Utah. Shane has spent most of his life in southern Utah so he knows the area and its history well. As most of us know, the western portion of the US received abundant precipitation thisContinue reading “God’s Country”

Today I finally got a chance to get out and stretch my legs a little, explore the area and take some photos. I took a short drive from the RV park to the Coral Pink Sand Dunes State Park. In the park I was able to take the truck on a short but enjoyable 4WDContinue reading “Sand Dune Arch”

This weekend at Lake Minden there are a bunch of “Big Boys” with expensive toys playing. They brought there remote control model airplanes to the lake for some flying fun. Even though these are big boys, they’re not very friendly. I tried to strike up a conversation with several of them without any success. IContinue reading “Fly n Float”

Recently I took a walk around the RV park, where we’re staying, in search of wildlife to photograph. I can’t say this is the best place to take photos of wildlife, but it’s not bad. Even though Lake Minden sits along the Pacific Flyway and migratory birds are currently flying north for the summer, thereContinue reading “Lake Minden”

Over the past couple of months, no matter where we have been, the weather has kept me inside, for the most part, so I haven’t been able to take many photos. In northern California today, the weather warmed up enough that I was able to get outside. Just for fun and practice, I grabbed myContinue reading “Looking for something to shoot”

On Saturday Barbara and I were sitting outside enjoying the fresh air, sunshine while eating crackers, cheese, salmon and fruit. On the far side of the Mokelumne River was a crop duster spraying the fields. So I got out my camera and took some photos of it flying just above the levee and the trees.Continue reading “Crop Duster”

Yesterday Barbara and I traveled 120 miles, round trip, to visit the Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area just northwest of Las Vegas. This is the second time we have visited here and both times we weren’t able to get in. The first time was during Covid and no one was allowed in. This timeContinue reading “Red Rock Canyon”
