Buffalo Junction, Virginia

My Dad drove granddad's FARM truck into the garage in 1983. It's been sitting there ever since.

Gillian Gillyflower...

Many years ago this little girl used to jump into bed with me when I would visit. She'd growl every time I moved... she'd protect the Rev. Buddy Love's food (re: no one could get close to it)...

She even once offered herself to him.(awkward....) He was more interested in a Great Dane named Harold. I didn't have the heart to tell her....

Poseuinge, "village at the place of the green bubbling hot springs"

Went to my favorite Hot Springs today and had a fantastic mineral springs soak... but FIRST we hiked up to the neighboring BLM protected area called Poseuinge. On the hill where I'm standing was once a large pueblo with terraced gardens overlooking the springs. "Posi" was a vibrant center of activity in the 15th century, evidenced by the substantial amount of clay shards covering the land.

The Flatirons

Chautauqua Park is the gateway to the Flatirons, which are rock formations, so named by pioneer women after the flat, metal irons used to press their clothes.

I had a great hike, a little dramatic in that I had to balance the big camera and use two hands to pull up on some of the rocks at the top. A storm was coming, a chipmunk was aggressive, my hair was a mess AND I was having dinner with old friends (Amy, Lonnie and Cory) who I hadn't seen in at least 12 years!! May every day be this hugely satisfying.

Muley Point, Utah

The good news, we got to have dinner with an old friend from Santa Fe, named Sherry. Cuban food and mojitos... a good way to get over the fact that it RAINED all day again.

Sooo... I pulled this image out from last week. Muley Point, in Utah, overlooks the twisting, entrenched canyons of the San Juan River. Monument Valley and Valley of the Gods can be seen from this viewpoint. (though you can't see them in this image!) We're coming back to camp next time, I hear the stars are spectacularly brilliant up here. Very peaceful...

Denver, Colorado

Busy Beavers

Denver is cold and rainy today so I've pulled out the double Beaver Dams that I shot over the weekend close to Salida. I've never seen anything quite like it. There were actually 3 dams but I couldn't get them all in the shot!
