ONLINE HOTEL BOOKING: YOU PAYS YOUR MONEY YOU TAKES YOUR CHANCES
We drove over to Denver last week to visit our new granddaughter, along with my daughter, and son-in-law, who live in the Denver area. It’s about a 4-hour drive from Grand Junction to Denver, nearly 5 hours if you stop for lunch, which we usually do. We left on Tuesday morning, and the traffic was […]

CHASING WILDFLOWERS ON THE GRAND MESA
Thursday, August 4, 2022, was another day in the upper 90’s here in western Colorado’s Grand Valley. In addition to that, our roofing project continued unabated, which made for another great day to get out of the house and up to The Grand Mesa. We usually head up to The Grand Mesa during […]

AN AFTERNOON AT WESTERN COLORADO BOTANICAL GARDENS
FLOWERS, AND TORTOISE AND LIZARD. OH MY! We’re getting a new roof put on the house, so that’s always fun. Right? Nothing like 100-degree summer temps and 8 hours of hammering and general construction noise to run anyone out of their house for a couple of hours. I decided to head over to The Western […]

LIVING THE ENCHANTMENT THROUGH MINDFUL PHOTOGRAPHY
Just FYI, I’ve been recovering from the death of my mother at the end of June, and so I’m posting less frequently. However, I did want to stop by and let you know that I have had an article and some pictures published in the August edition of Science of Mind magazine! The article is […]

CRESTED BUTTE, COLORADO
I usually try to make it up to Crested Butte annually, timing my visit for right after the Wildflower Festival in July. This year, the festival was held from July 8 – 17th, so I showed up on the 21st. Why do I do this you ask? I don’t like crowds. It’s a long day […]

Are You A Desert Person?
I never thought I was a “desert person.” I moved to Grand Junction at the end of 2017 after living in Denver for 25 years. I had been out to Grand Junction only a handful of times during those 25 years, but I was quite taken in by the desert beauty that surrounds this place […]

The Carousel of Time
Just in case you’re wondering why I haven’t been posting much over the last month, I do have an excuse: Unfortunately, my mother had a stroke and passed away at the end of June. Her birthday, which was officially on Sunday, July 10th, would have marked year 89 for her. Sadly, she left us before […]

LOWER ANTELOPE CANYON
PAGE, ARIZONA JUNE 2022 While we were in Page, Arizona recently, we visited both upper and lower Antelope Canyon. On my last post, I posted only photos from Upper Antelope Canyon. So, this time, I thought I would share with you what the experience was like touring lower Antelope Canyon. The photos are, in some […]

HORSESHOE BEND II
PAGE, ARIZONA You’ve seen the pictures. We’ve all seen them! But it’s not the same as taking your own picture, right? The experience is the fun. A nice photograph is a bonus. While we were in Page, Arizona visiting Antelope Canyon, we decided to visit Horseshoe Bend, a meander of The Colorado river just 2 […]
