Continue reading →: The Desert Turns GreenSince moving to the desert southwest, the month of March has become a favorite time of year for me. I grew up in the Midwest and used to dread March. When March rolled around, I was ready for winter to be over, but Mother Nature still had lots more inclement…

Continue reading →: Photo CompositionSpring in the desert southwest is glorious. It’s a time to grab the camera and head out into nature. This past week, I was quick to join other members of our local camera club for a photography outing. It felt great to be back out and about with camera in…

Continue reading →: A Birder in the MakingHobbies are wonderful considering they can provide entertainment, knowledge, social engagement, physical activity, or merely serve as a diversion.

Continue reading →: Dog Days of SummerIt won’t be long and we’ll be talking about fall colors. I won’t lie, I’m looking forward to summer coming to an end. It was a brutally hot and uncomfortable July here in the desert southwest, and cooler temperatures can’t come soon enough. With that said, my mind drifts to…

Continue reading →: Overlooked Grand JunctionAl and I called Colorado’s Front Range home for more than twenty years. Once we moved into the RV full-time, we still continued to spend most summers exploring the state with a focus on Colorado’s Western Slope.
