Chasing the blue dot to find adventure…
Every once in a while, I post about our cats. Willow is our now 18 year old tabby cat. Back in November, Willow was diagnosed with the beginning stages of kidney failure, also known as chronic renal failure (CRF). As two of our previous cats have also passed away due to CRF, this was not … Continue reading Texas: Willow the cat
We had been to Hoover Dam a couple of times since moving to Arizona, but in July, 2018 we went again with my mother, who had never seen the dam. We'd already taken her to the Neon Museum earlier in the same visit, but now it was time to see awesome, majestic nature. The tour … Continue reading Nevada: Hoover Dam (2018)
Friday, May 8, 2020 was the 75th anniversary of Victory in Europe (V-E) Day. I know of at least three flyovers (Phoenix, AZ; Portland, OR; and Houston, TX). The flyover in Phoenix was courtesy of the Commemorative Air Force Airbase Arizona museum in Mesa, AZ. Three planes were in the flyover: a B-25 Mitchell "Maid … Continue reading Arizona: Sentimental Journey at Luke Days (2018)
We landed at our last RV spot on March 9. For most of the last two months, we've been cooped up inside the RV except for picking up mail and picking up curbside groceries. We've also been struggling with cel phone reception and Internet. As we looked at our budget and upcoming expenses, it was … Continue reading Texas: We moved the RV (2020)

It was fun shooting something new and working around other attendees and photographers. Cool patterns Other random effects Sometimes, after I've gotten the cool shots, I play around with other photography effects.

This time, my conference buddy and I planned to drive to the Gulf coast of Florida so I could get a bucket list photo. When we previously visited Orlando in 2013, we had … Continue reading Florida: Sunset on the Gulf Coast (2018)
In August 2011, Bob and I flew back to Baltimore, MD for my family reunion. Previous family reunions had been held in the Atlanta area, but my grandmother was too frail for a long trip in a car or a plane. One of the reunion days, we headed to the Inner Harbor area and Fort … Continue reading Maryland: Trip to Fort McHenry (2011)
Bartlett Lake is one of those places you visit in every season. In November, 2015, we visited Bartlett Lake so I could photograph the Jeep for a photography assignment. The theme was "How We Roll" - and clearly, Bob's Jeep was ready for a closeup. 🙂 Of course, there were a couple of landscape photography … Continue reading Arizona: Jeep photos at Bartlett Lake (2015)
When the temperatures start soaring in the Phoenix area during the summer, residents flee north towards cooler climates like Camp Verde, Flagstaff, and Sedona. In June 2017, we drove the RV to an RV park in Cottonwood. This was the first time we encountered an RV space that was hard to level and back into. … Continue reading Arizona: Tuzigoot National Monument (2017)
