On the road again...

My distance-seeing glasses did not arrive, so we left without em, and I will manage until I get back to Olympia where my glasses credit will be available with the actual health benefits I have there... and so will essentially be a free 'spare pair.' That being so, we actually got out of town around... Sign in to see full entry.

Here we almost go...

The roadtrip to California and thence to Olympia begins today, sometime this afternoon. The morning may begin with selling the old RV to someone who came by and knocked on the door to enquire about it yesterday. If he decides not when he comes over this morning, then when I get home I will donate it... Sign in to see full entry.

Colorado winter sky

Now, here's a shot in the dark... When we went out to the car last night to go to the show, this was over the house, and... I got the shot! https://flic.kr/p/E89Xqt Sign in to see full entry.

Shadowplay

These shots were taken on a walk in a park in Olympia, WA, when I became fascinated by the shadows across the path. And yes, there's Davy again! https://www.flickr.com/gp/therovingeye/8656tN Sign in to see full entry.

Post Thanksgiving travel.

We drove back down out of the mountains from Bailey this morning, about 2 hours to Colorado Springs. Sun shining, roads clear--once outside the back roads. Not much traffic, and great photo ops of the gorgeous geology of the area. There was not even much traffic though probably many people will be... Sign in to see full entry.

Finally... getting home from Texas

Here, at last, are the better photos of the last flight of my Seattle trip: from Dallas/Fort Worth to Colorado Springs. I especially like the images of the farmlands, and though the colors you will see in the photos are variants on the reality--still getting used to differences in the editing...

Click on the link, and proceed to the left which is to the south through California and west over Arizona and New Mexico. Mixed qualities of photos here--not all of these...

Getting Out of Dodge

It is just past 6am in Seattle and I am up and about, sorting out the last packings before heading to the airport for a noonish flight to... Texas... from there, eventually, to Denver where, if all goes well, I'll be waiting when Charlie lands and his housemate shows up to drive us both home. It was... Sign in to see full entry.
