Yesterday, Barbara, Ellie, and I visited Big Bend National Park (NP) in southwest Texas. Big Bend gets its name from the big bend the Rio Grande River makes here, changing course from east-southeast to northeast. Now Big Bend doesn’t have the majestic vistas that Yosemite and Yellowstone have but it does have a natural beautyContinue reading “Big Bend National Park”

Recently, Barbara, Ellie and I traveled to Providence Canyon State Park (SP) in southwest Georgia. The park contains Providence Canyon, which is sometimes called Georgia’s “Little Grand Canyon”.

Dealey Plaza
When we were in Texas last year, we visited Dealey Plaza, the place where President Kennedy was assassinated in 1963. As I walked the plaza and visited the nearby book depository, where Lee Harvey Oswald took his shots, I thought a lot about what happened on that day. The Warren Commission indicated that Oswald actedContinue reading “Dealey Plaza”

What is your all time favorite automobile? My Miata near Lake Tahoe.
Outside
Currently, Barbara and I are staying at an RV park near Orlando, Florida and based on our observations since arriving, whoever named Florida the Sunshine State, is full of crap. LOL! It has been cool and overcast almost everyday since we arrived. That being said, I have ventured out a few times with my cameraContinue reading “Outside”
Bok Tower Gardens
This past Sunday, Barbara and I traveled south with our friends Scott and Lori to see the Bok Tower Gardens. In 1922, Edward Bok purchased a 14-acre property know as Iron Mountain, 298 feet above mean sea level, at that time the highest point in the state of Florida. Bok then hired famed landscape architectContinue reading “Bok Tower Gardens”
Three Sisters Springs
This past Tuesday, Barbara and I visited the Three Sisters Springs Wildlife Refuge on the Crystal River in Kings Bay, Florida. Three years ago we visited here in search on manatees, but unfortunately, we didn’t see any. During this visit we hit the jackpot. The guide at the refuge indicated that there were more thanContinue reading “Three Sisters Springs”
