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
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
Along the road - Route 66

Texas Route 66 themed rest area. Taken with the point and shoot as I was too pooped to carry the big ‘un.
Let's all go to the Cadillac Ranch

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
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
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

South Dakota rest stop along I-90.
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
Wind Cave National Park - South Dakota
Sunday, 8 June 2008 10:29 P GMT-06
We didn’t make it to Jewel Cave but we did take the time to take a tour at Wind Cave National Park. Before our tour started we walked around above the cave a bit and I poked my nose in some flowers while some birds tried to poo on me. I don&rsq
Mt Rushmore National Memorial - South Dakota
Saturday, 7 June 2008 12:00 A GMT-06
Next up, Mount Rushmore National Memorial. You can see it from the road. Mostly, I like this photo because of the flag in the foreground. Walking up from the parking. I thought all the flags were kinda cool. Almost there. Closer still and I like
Badlands National Park - South Dakota
Friday, 6 June 2008 12:00 A GMT-06
Our first stop in South Dakota (other than the cute little birds you saw a couple of days ago, which were found in rest areas along I-90) was the Badlands National Park. Sidetracked - Do you know how desolate South Dakota looks for the most part?! Wo
Rose-breasted Grosbeak
Wednesday, 28 May 2008 12:00 A GMT-06
We had plans of meeting the Nekked Lizards Monday evening, but you know what they say about the best-laid plans. We ended up too far away and camping in the mountains in San Isabel, Colorado. Much to say about all that but we had no cell reception an
Fun Traveling Monday
Monday, 26 May 2008 10:02 P GMT-06
What a perfect Fun Monday to have this particular Monday! You see we are currently on vacation. Thanx Alison for the great assignment. My only problem is that holidays are exhausting and I’m soooo tired. So while I don’t have the energy t

As we were driving on a country road near the Dells we saw a "Historical Marker" sign. We let our eyes follow the arrow, but couldn't read the marker from the road. So we pulled over and walked up to the fence. Never let it
Fun Monday Paths

This week’s Fun Monday assignment is to share our favorite path/walk. Well, probably my favorite area to walk near home would be Iverson Park. You’ve seen the park before if you’ve seen the photos we did of my kids last fall. Th
