• Loneliest Road

    It’s been called The Loneliest Road, which ironically gave it fame and tourism otherwise unsolicited or deserved.  Route 50 cuts across Nevada from East to West, with nary a stop along the way.  It’s sole purpose to get from one end to the other… CA being on the West end,…

  • Getty Museum

    I have definitely heard of the Getty Museum.  It has been open since 1997 in the Brentwood area of Los Angeles.  To view the grounds alone is mind blowing, with it’s expansive well groomed campus, home to 5 modern marble block buildings housing extensive collections of fine art dating all…

  • Deer Level

    They say that some of the best photos are taken from your subject’s perspective.  So if you are taking photos of a child or pets… to do it from their low vantage point.  It brings more story telling to the photograph, seeing the world from their eyes. One of my…

  • Fall Trees

    People call us ‘crafty’.  I actually resent that term.  When you’re using jackhammers and shoveling rock, building pizza ovens and garages, ‘crafty’ is the last thing you feel you are. But yesterday, I must even admit, I practiced ‘crafty’. I saw this little project, I got a wild hair, and…

  • Spots

    We saw our first fawn, and I posted the photos here. Since then we have had several sightings of different families.  It has been an enormous treat to see these precious baby deer. Mom is still very protective and constantly checking on her little ones.  It’s so awesome to watch.…

  • Red Tailed Hawk

    The other day we had a hawk surveying our property.  The blue jays and birds were none too happy about having this predator in their midst.  The blue jay dive bombed the hawk to let him know he was an unwelcome guest. The ground was still and quiet.  The squirrels…

  • If you may have read my last post here , you saw that we had a traumatic event when we lost the truck & camper we had spent the last 18 months custom building.  That event was 5 weeks ago this week.  The pain and drama of it all has…

  • First Fall

    It seems too early, not even in October yet, but there is a definite chill in the air and you can feel winter is coming.  So we decided to do a scouting trip to check out Fall Colors. It’s a strange year, as some leaves are just turning from their…

  • Mossy Rock Wall

    If you have followed a number of the posts on this blog, you would find that we have been doing front yard ‘landscaping’.  We built a paver stone pad for our corn hole games… and then got completely carried away and built a pizza oven.  You can see the posts…

  • Milk Ranch Road

    Just off the Forest Road 300 is an obscure road marked FR 218:  Milk Ranch Road.  Along it are magnificent overlooks of the Mogollon Rim below.  One can find an open spot in the woods or down a long rocky rough road to be rewarded by this great expanse. If…
