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…

MESA ARCH & DEADHORSE POINT STATE PARK (UTAH)
John set the alarm for 3:30am. Of course, that means that my body wakes me up at 3:15am. To some people this may seem strange, but it’s normal for me. So, I awoke at 3:15am and dressed for my sunrise photo shoot at Mesa Arch in Canyonlands National Park in Utah.

PALISADE IN SPRINGTIME
