Yesterday. It was just that kind of day. That sweet spot when the wheels lose the runway!

18 Dec., 2011 -- Gone, gone

Bald eagle cruising
around Mtn. Grove today, didn't come close enough for a good portrait before it was gone.
I cruised around eastern Kansas and northern Oklahoma for two beautiful days
shooting pictures of quarries and such, but the good clear days are gone again.
Deer in the headlights. Only 3 of them.

2 Dec., 2011 -- Sort of a "what's-it"?

Whitehills said... "yuck a stupid snake skin"

That's right! You win it! Come and get it!

I found it in the back of the garage, bent around some objects.
Was surprised that it didn't fall apart when I picked it up.
It's about five feet long, and it won't hurt ya.
Besides, it's (was) a blacksnake. I guess that's why
we don't have many mice in the garage. I hope it's still around!

Mike, let's go!
We didn't.

30 Sept., 2011 - Late in the day

The last one.
Night blooming cereus blooms just once a year, had about a dozen blossoms on it while I was gone to Colorado. The last one opened the night I got home.

16 Sept., 2011 -- Still more departures

Tram ride took us to the top of the mountain above Glenwood Springs, CO at the 50th class reunion, but we had to depart the mountain on a bus, because of an approaching storm.
Today, friend Karen and I are gypsies relaxing back in Rodeo, New Mexico, after Santa Fe and Colorado.
Departure planned for Saturday morning, heading for Carlsbad Caverns, then the two day drive to Missouri.
