On a recent trip to Austin, we took time to revisit the
Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center. If you are ever
in the area, you should look this up. In the hot
September heat, there were still many blooms to be enjoyed.



For many many more sky photos be sure to visit Skywatch Friday.

Sedona AZ Skywatch Friday

Our journey back from California led us to
the area around Sedona Arizona. These
are some of the photos of that area. I wish to share these with
you, and only wish I could share the peace and tranquility that is to be found there.




If ever you get a chance or take the opportunity to
visit, please don't pass it up. In the meantime enjoy these. For more great photos,

Skywatch Friday from the California Coast

After enduring the hot weather for several
weeks, we decided it was time for another
ocean 'fix'. This photo was the night of our
arrival at the west coast at Oxnard, CA.
After a wonderful dinner we went outside for
this view.
The next day, we went further north to the
Pismo Beach area. This beautiful
sky shot is at San Luis Bay at Avila Beach.

Just when you think you have it made, you
see the guys who really work hard...

Just wonder where we get to take the next nap?

For more great Skywatch photos, just visit

Skywatch Friday





It seems like a month for company. This week, my
daughter from NC is here to visit. Yesterday, we took
a drive around Big Bend and the border country.
This photo is a small canyon in Pinto Canyon in the
Chinati Mountains. The sky was
wonderful and the terrain fantastic.

These next three photos are of the Rio Grande and
its surroundings, as taken from the 'River Road'
that runs from Study Butte, TX to Presidio, TX





It seems to beg the question, "Where does the
fence go?"

Skywatch Friday




Sorry I've been missing for the last couple of weeks, but now I'm
back, and even have a fresh road trip to share.

My sister came to visit, and on our way back to the airport, we detoured
by Carlsbad Caverns (no sky shots)
and then a stop at White Sands National Monument.


The sand dunes with the mountains in the background
are really spectacular.
I must really learn more about my camera, it was so
bright, I had trouble taking photos.
On the nature trail, we came across this little guy
(look hard in the center of the photo) He was
using the plant to try for some food and/or water
I'm not sure which.


For more great sky photos, visit Skywatch Friday.

Thanks for visiting.
