Arizona: Patterns in black and white (2019)
I've always been drawn to patterns with my camera, so of course I saw the pattern in this overhang. We attended a Spring Training game at newly remodeled Peoria Sports Complex in March, 2019.

Texas: Views around the RV park (2020)
Now that we've been here for a few days and are settled in, it was time to explore. While this RV park only has about 30 spaces right now, they are in the midst of expansion.
