Wyoming's painted prairies...
and a cluster of great granite boulders where the Oregon Trail emmigrants paused and probably fought off the ancestors to the hordes of mosquitos we had dive-bombing us in squadrons, in the quiet afternoon air. Some years ago when I was here, there were no such pests as the wind was high and... Sign in to see full entry.
Summer days in this oldest and most popular of US National Parks are a mob scene. We did not dawdle, and only stopped a couple of times for photos. The glorious and dramatic pools and mudpits will wait for a quieter time. We did take a short loop to see some rapids in a lava-rock canyon called The... Sign in to see full entry.
Onward to Earthquake Lake
Then we drove on across the Idaho Panhandle into Montana along I-90 where I was focused on driving, and so did not take photos until the next day when we drove from Butte down to the West Gate into Yellowstone National Park. On that stretch of road we did stop for shots of the Earthquake Lake, the... Sign in to see full entry.
Finally, the 'with photos' from the first part of this Colorado trip
It is a hot sunny day in Colorado Springs, with a sky full of clouds with stormy thoughts, over the mountains. One day soon I will drive up Pike's Peak, and another I have plans for a return visit to the Cheyenne Mountain Zoo to see how the giraffes are getting along, and to check out the Pallas...

Driving through Middle-earth
It is no secret here that I am a kind of Middle-earth ex-patriot, head and heart filled with images of Tolkien's wondrous world, that he envisioned as our own world in ages past, in a kind of Briton Dreamtime. Driving cross country these past several days, it is like flying through a Middle-earth in... Sign in to see full entry.

on the road again... Journal
Yesterday, we left Olympia at the crack of noon, and started across Washington State via I-90 to Garfield, a small town near Pullman and in the heart of the Palouse hills. I so love this deep-rolling countryside, with its panorama of wheat fields in every state of readiness--fallow and furrowed, and... Sign in to see full entry.

photobook catalog
A friend requested this today, so I finally put it together. These books are the fruit of many travels, and much much work! He has said he will help me market them in his area, which is most encouraging! As mentioned previously, I am fundraising for that trip to Senegal in January, and this is my...

Interlude in green
Davy and I drove up into Capitol Forest yesterday looking for a new place to walk. It was a beautiful day, and our usual places closer to home were peopled up and I wanted to let him walk off-leash. He needs the practice of staying close, responding to calls, not haring off after... well, hares.... Sign in to see full entry.

Last Days
The truck has had her fluids topped... especially the oil, and is at this moment getting brakes serviced all around so they will continue braking as needed. Tonight, Movie Night, Charlie and I will watch a few movies together that we want to share... starting with 'MEN WHO STARE AT GOATS' and will... Sign in to see full entry.
