Today, along with millions of other people, Barbara and I were fortunate enough to witness a total solar eclipse in Waco, Texas.  This to me, was an extraordinary experience.  In fact, after the eclipse completed its totality, I continued to watch this amazing event, while those around me went on their way.  It’s things likeContinue reading “Total Solar Eclipse”

While here at Lake Whitney, Texas we have seen several of the bright red male cardinals.  Now Barbara and I lived most of our lives in northern California where there are no Cardinals to be found, so when we see them elsewhere, it is a treat.  I tried numerous times last week to get photosContinue reading “Cardinals”

Last evening I took photos of our closest neighbor, the moon, as it rose above the trees in the east.  I always enjoy looking up at the moon and thinking of the places that we have visited and named over the years.  Below I have listed a handful of these places.  So the next timeContinue reading “The Moon”

This morning, after breakfast, I decided to check out some of the five miles of hiking trails here at the RV Park.  It didn’t take long for me to discover that the trails have not been maintained for some time.  In order to hike these trails one needs a chainsaw.  So I decided to hikeContinue reading “Pollinator’s”

Yesterday Barbara, Toby and I arrived in Cedar City, UT for a week. When we arrived the sky was partly cloudy but shortly after we got the trailer unhooked and set up the skies opened up. I posted photos of what we woke up to this morning below.

It was a coral reef formed in a shallow sea. Approximately 1.5 million gallons ofContinue reading “Montezuma Well National Monument”

Today the temperature peaked at 60 degrees so Barbara, Toby and I visited the nearby Tuzigoot (the g is silent) National Monument.  We visited the visitor’s center and then I hiked to the remnants of the remaining pueblo.  From there I hiked in the opposite direction to the Tavasci Marsh overlook adjacent to the VerdeContinue reading “Tuzigoot National Monument”
