Sedona Rocks
On Wednesday, Barbara and I dropped Ellie off at the groomer to get a bath, brush, nails trimmed, and teeth brushed. While Ellie was getting cleaned up, we checked out the rock formations surrounding Sedona. If you have ever been to Sedona Arizona you know about the beautiful rock formations that surround the town. TheseContinue reading “Sedona Rocks”
The Grand Canyon
This past Tuesday, Barbara, Ellie, and I travelled north to the Grand Canyon. Even though Barbara and I have been here before, numerous times, we never seem to get tired of it. In fact, I have spent close to 50 days in the Grand Canyon and have studied it a lot. On this trip, weContinue reading “The Grand Canyon”
Great Blue Heron
In 1976, when I was a senior in high school, I took a wildlife management course. At that time, the Great Blue Heron was on the endangered species list. But today, they’re doing well. In fact, just about every place Barbara and I travel to, I see at least one of these magnificent creatures. ThisContinue reading “Great Blue Heron”

Due to the elevation change from theContinue reading “Mount Lemmon”

Something to keep in mind when you see these skeletons. Due to the age of these skeletons, it isContinue reading “Arizona Museum of Natural History”
Radiator Springs
This past Saturday, Barbara, Ellie, and I traveled to Seligman, Arizona. Seligman is advertised as the birthplace of famous Route 66 and Radiator Springs, from the movie Cars. While there we saw The Roadkill Café and some of the Cars movie characters. There isn’t much else there, but it was fun to see. We wouldContinue reading “Radiator Springs”
Red Rock State Park
A few weeks ago, Barbara, Ellie, and I traveled to Red Rock State Park near Sedona, Arizona. We enjoyed the view of the red rocks that surround the park, Owl Creek, that flows through the park, and some wildlife, deer. A few days later, we drove through Owl Creek Canyon where Owl Creek originates. AContinue reading “Red Rock State Park”
Bullards Bar
Late last year, while we were still in California, we visited some friends that we have not seen in a while. While we were visiting Ember and Neal, they told us about Bullards Bar in Sutter County, California. Neal works part time at the reservoir, mostly during the spring, summer, and fall. Bullards Bar isContinue reading “Bullards Bar”
