Missouri Reptiles
Sunday, 6 July 2008 12:00 A GMT-06
Turtles are pretty common along Missouri roads and we happened upon this guy on a dead end road so I was able to take a few moments to admire him. I don’t know if you can tell, but he’s pretty good size. When I moved that rock from in fr

Great-tailed Grackle colony
Saturday, 5 July 2008 12:00 A GMT-06
This was a view from a cemetery in Texas and I couldn’t help but think of Jenni in Kansas when I saw it. We stopped at a cemetery near the highway in Oklahoma, somewhere after I poked fun at the naming of the Washita River (I kid you not). I k
Happy 4th of July!!
Friday, 4 July 2008 2:36 P GMT-06
I hope you all have a happy wonderful fourth! We did a small amount of fireworks with our kids. (Haden wrote his name in the air - kinda) I held the sweet, tired, Tristan throughout the show and we enjoyed a few sparklers of our own. We were
Palo Duro Canyon Texas State Park (birds)
Friday, 4 July 2008 12:00 A GMT-06
I was able to park and just walk in a small area near the car in clear terrain (keeping watch for snakes) and see all of these birds. There were also a few who avoided me a little better, sorry for that. A few Bullock’s Orioles. A couple of
Palo Duro Canyon Texas State Park (flowers)
Thursday, 3 July 2008 12:00 A GMT-06
Have you ever been to the Grand Canyon of Texas? After playing at the Cadillac Ranch for a while we headed south of Amarillo to Palo Duro Canyon State Park. The Canyon is 120 miles long, as much as 20 miles wide, and has a maximum depth of more than

Let's all go to the Cadillac Ranch
Sunday, 29 June 2008 7:15 A GMT-06
We only cut across the northeast corner of New Mexico and after the little stop at the Volcano we made it quickly to Texas. Doing some geocaching along our way, we discovered this neat cemetery just outside the Texas Boys’ Ranch. This is a gr
Mikal and Amy photos

Dennis did some tweaking to a couple of the photos we took of Amy and Mikal last weekend and I think they look great. I wanted to point you over there to have a peek. Also, if you scroll down, after Mikal and Amy you'll see baby Noah,
Capulin Volcano
Friday, 27 June 2008 12:00 A GMT-06
After visiting the Sand Dunes we made our way to the Capulin Volcano in New Mexico. We stopped along the way to do a few caches and I found a little critter. He enjoyed his sunning rock and enjoyed watching him. It really is neat finding a splas
Burrowing Owl
Thursday, 26 June 2008 12:00 A GMT-06
As we exited the park and continued down that long road, we came upon the neatest sight. We all yelled, “Was that an owl? I think that was an owl.” And Dennis quickly did a Uie and back we went. As we pulled into the turn off the owl loo

Great Sand Dunes National Park
Tuesday, 24 June 2008 8:25 A GMT-06
So after we loaded the tents that we really could have never put up in the first place, our tired eyes, weary bones and hungry bellies were on the road. As we left the campground and rounded a curve we found some more hungry bellies. I totally just
Bishop's Castle - Colorado
Sunday, 22 June 2008 12:00 A GMT-06
We had plans of staying near the Nekked Lizards and getting to meet them on this night, but after our long travels and all the sightseeing from Denver to Colorado Springs, and the atlas not being 100% correct (imagine that) we ended up way south of t
Manitou Cliff Dwellings
Saturday, 21 June 2008 1:07 A GMT-06
After Garden of the Gods in Colorado Springs we made our way over to the Manitou Cliff Dwellings. These were built by the Anasazi, at the foot of Pikes Peak. You’re free to go in, touch and explore, which we did. And after exploring we were f
Birds of Colorado
Friday, 20 June 2008 12:00 A GMT-06
While climbing around Haden found a friend and I found a few too, but don’t ask me what kind they are. I thought maybe this was Towhee, but the red eye throws me. Close to Cardinal size. Reminded me of a bluebird but it had no brownish/oran
Garden of the Gods - Colorado
Thursday, 19 June 2008 12:00 A GMT-06
Next stop on our vacation route was Garden of the Gods. It’s really a magnificent place and we could have spent a lot more time there but we had other places we wanted to see. There were some rock climbers on the day we were there. And it was

Happy Father's Day, Dads!
Sunday, 15 June 2008 12:00 A GMT-06
Happy Father’s Day to all Dads out there! At 15 months, Tristan seems to think just about everything is a phone. I think maybe he was trying to call his great-grandpa when he picked up this tape measure. Unfortunately, I’m a little slow
Rocky Mountain National Park - Colorado
Saturday, 14 June 2008 12:00 A GMT-06
It really was that blue. After spending the night in Denver (and after getting distracted by the cute little church and fun walking trail), we made it to the Rocky Mountain National Park. Yippee! I know you are rejoicing too. We were not sure if the
distractions abound
Thursday, 12 June 2008 12:00 A GMT-06
We took a little look around on a trail before we headed on up the mountains. As Dennis and Haden ran ahead of me to get a geocache, I dilly-dallied taking a few photos. First I came upon these tiny little wildflowers. And a couple interesting plant

Little rock Church in Colorado
Tuesday, 10 June 2008 12:00 A GMT-06
On our trek up to the Rocky Mountains we happened upon a cute little church. We pulled in the parking lot and walked the path in front of the church and around the small pond. Such a cute little rock church! The view of the mountains from there was
