Lake Mead, Nevada


A windshield shot of Lake Mead in 2006.
It is very strange seeing that water color in the middle of the dessert.

Use my label "Arizona" for more.

What town has burrows on the sidewalks?



Yes, burrows everywhere.  And, of course burrow poop too.

Canyon critters


Grand Canyon critters, that is.






All these critters live along the South Rim.

Better men than I




They just walked right up to the edge.


And peered over.  Multiple times.


Even looked up and away without flinching.


Were they as smart as they thought?



Yes, I did go to the edge, but crawled down there on my behind and sat the whole time.

Clouds above the canyon



Maybe I won't torture you with a hundred shots of the Grand Canyon.

We were there in 2006 and it was hazy the whole time, but I still got some good shots.
It is truly an amazing sight to see.

Standin' on the corner in



This fence won't pass the aesthetics test, but there is a story behind it - literally :).

We were told that the adjacent building had burned and the fence was a safety measure to keep people out.

Aren't all those reflections in the windows cool!!!
And the eagle is so stately sitting on the window ledge.

Ok, I'm pulling your leg.
Visit this link if you don't know the real story.





I was telling Kathy, a fellow blogger, that I missed many, many photo opportunities on this trip.
I did take many, many photos, but this was America's Route 66!!!!!

A great thing was that the Disney movie "Cars" came out that summer.  I didn't see the movie until after our trip so it was especially fun to watch.
I gotta go back.  In fact, maybe I need to find that movie and watch it tonight!!!

Rural storm?


Is this rural?
We were amazed at the storms when we visited Arizona and Nevada in 2006.
I suppose the storms are no different than what we have, but
the amazing thing to us was seeing the whole storm from miles and miles away.

This was taken between the Las Vegas airport and Hoover Dam.
The storm may actually be in California.

London Bridge . . .



. . . was falling down, so someone moved it.
Across the ocean to Arizona.
Lake Havasu City, Arizona to be exact.

Believe it or not, this is one of only two shots I have from Lake Havasu.  We were there for a few hours in 2006 when we traveled to the Grand Canyon and Las Vegas.
