In a world of so many great photographers and writers, I am venturing into some unknown territories, leaving comfort zones, finally very willing to practice the art of seeing. By maintaining the practice of posting daily photos, I hope to continue learning about the possibilities that I trust are out there for the taking.
Went to see Bat Man Sunday. I went because Ray wanted to see the movie. I am not a fan of these types of movies. I couldn’t wait for the movie to be over. I must admit though, I was impressed with the acting and the action scenes.
What was fun was seeing Stuart selling tickets at the River Movie Theaters.

On the way out of the theater I couldn’t resist this closeup of the larger than life HULK statue in the middle of the walkway. Four young girls asked me to take a group photo of them in front of the Hulk. I took 4 photos of them, with each girls’ camera.
Ok, I’ve been way too busy. I’m back on my blog again. Back until August 2nd that is. Aug 2nd Ray and I will head up to Mammoth for the month, hopefully avoiding the over 105 degrees temperatures here in Rancho Mirage.

About 2.5 hours later we landed at another small local airport 20 minutes from our motel and Lane’s house. A black rental car pulled up next to Don’s plane seconds after he landed and minutes before airport personal taxied his plane into the hanger 10 feet away.
I could get used to this lifestyle!

Later Saturday night at Lane’s friends’ 8th Annual Crawfish Party.
The Crawfish stew is cooked (there were a total of 4 large pots of stew) and then thrown on to a plastic wrapped table top where the feeding frenzy begins.
Everyone had their fair share of drinks. I was just crazy, not drunk! The girl in the photo was having fun with me and my craziness. My brother asked me, “How do you always attract the drunks?” Her t-shirt is NOT tie-dyed.
My handsome son!

And finally, the pig.
My brother Don took these two photos today while flying his plane southbound, a bit north of Sacramento.
He was west of the Sierra, shooting east.
In his email he said, “It’s a good thing you are not hiking the PCT this year!”
Name this peak.
Hi,
I’m back home for the month of July. Until Ray and I leave the “hot” desert to go to Mammoth for the month of August, I’ll be daily posting on this blog again.
While visiting Susan and Dan in Albuquerque, NM during my backpack, I video taped this performance with Susan and her dog, Nikita.
