A fun afternoon at Cades Cove. Pretty lady and a

pretty view.

Lauren, I need you to tell me how to get a 

decent moon shot. This is supposed to be the

gorgeous harvest moon tonight.

Come into my parlor said the spider to the fly!!

There is a huge outbreak of these stinkbugs. The solution

is to grab them and put them in soapy water. Yuck!!!

Out with the old butterfly bush and in

with a new Limelight hydrangea. Happy Birthday

Judi, and tons more!!!

When I was a kid, we used to wrap these in snow

and throw them at each other. Fun times but a

bunch of big bruises!

Mom and her two "babies". No matter how

many times we see this sight, we still ooh and aah.

First day of fall, a crisp 75 degrees and perfect sky.

Love this time of year with the gorgeous butterflies.

Suddenly summertime ended and pre-winter stepped in.

With all the beautiful scenery of the last two

weeks, there is still nothing prettier than home!

September 14

A lot of very flat land on the way home.

Delicate Arch in the park. Very busy spot. We decided

to just zoom in rather than fight the crowd.

Skyline Arch over 130 feet high and 70 wide. Could walk

right to the base of it, and not crowded at all.

"The Spectacles" another great arch.

Balanced Rock in Arches NP in Utah. This place is

absolutely amazing with its arches, fins, spires,

and cool shapes and figures.

Sunset at Arches. Mom and I were in awe of

the wonder of God's creation.

Mesa Verde means "green table", and these views

throughout the park are awesome. 

September 8, 2012

Spruce Tree House, a cliff dwelling built about 

600 AD. Mesa Verde NP. One of 600 or so

different size Anasazi ingenious homes in the park.

Durango-Silverton Narrow Gauge RR. Frighteningly

close to a 1000 foot drop to a gorge.

A point out the train window and quick click.

Emma I knew you would be proud of me.

September 5, 2012

More gorgeous scenery in NM. Never really

seems to get boring.

September 4

The church at Chimayo a very interesting

community along the way to Taos.

September 3

White Rock New Mexico with the Rio Grande

in the gorge about 800 feet deep.

September 2

There were way too many great exhibits

at the Museum of International Folk Art,

but this one spoke to me. It is a cradle

and sunshade, and I started to take it

for Little Critter.

September 1

Windmill farms are everywhere out here

generating a lot of power. These are about 200 feet

high and turn about 23 times a minute.
