Saturday, March 18, 2023

Back in 1973 I earned my Eagle Rank in the Boy Scouts!  Here I am at the Eagle Recognition by the State Governor, Tom Judge, in 1974.  I am the handsome dude behind his left shoulder. Well, 49 years later (whenever the 18th of March, 2023 is!) Toots got to go to the same Eagle […]

We stopped at Picacho State Park on the way back north.  They were having a super bloom or something or other. https://azstateparks.com/picacho/ This is a rugged little mountain range stuck off by itself. There was a bit of a line.  It was worse when we were leaving. The Dailylife Wife waaaaayyy down there! (Click on […]

Day 065!

Frohe Geburtstag! No numbers, please! We celebrated her birthday by going to the Sonora Desert Museum!  “Close” parking… Free iPhone charging! We are here.  Somewhere… First up was the hummingbird house. I was a bit disappointed in this, but only because they didn’t have many birds.  Here is an Anna’s, like we have nesting beside […]

(All panoramas except the fifth photo are from single photos.  #5 is from two photos taken while in motion!) Yes, the white specks are snow… Heading towards […]
