    A NEW WORD

    This picture of Mt. Garfield was taken from the vantage point of The Colorado National Monument.  These two iconic geographic sites are located across the valley from each other, with the towns of Grand Junction and Palisade between them.  Mt. Garfield, which marks the highest point in The Bookcliffs range, rises to a height of…

    GOING HOME

    Two weeks before my mother died at the end of June, she called me up on the phone. She was living in the Assisted Living Center at that time, and I was in Aurora visiting my daughter, who was due to deliver a baby right after Fourth of July. I had traveled out to the…

  • The Heart of the World

    Funny, I never thought of myself as a desert person. I spent more than the first half of my life doing everything I could to be as close to the ocean as possible, with mixed results. I went there a couple times a week in the 70’s. I lived at the beach briefly in my…

  • 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…
