Description

I own no land, instead I have wheelestate. I’ve been a full time RVer since 1997. Working summers as a Park Ranger takes me to many beautiful places and playing during the winter takes me to many more. This blog is simply the story of my life's adventures.

Scenic Sunday - Shadows in Grand Canyon


View southeast from Angels Window overlook along the Cape Royal trail
I love the late afternoon views of the Grand Canyon from the Walhalla Plateau. The shadows change rapidly as the sun westers beyond the canyon walls. Then add a few clouds to float above and create patches of shadows that dance across the land.

Sky Watch Friday - Rainbow in Grand Canyon


Sun on the confluence of the Little Colorado River and Mt Hayden in foreground right

Then a visitor who I’d seen several times that day walked up to me with a question. As we talked the sun came out and I commented on wanting to see a rainbow. So we walked back to the overlook, and sure enough, my first rainbow at Grand Canyon.

Rainbow over Nankoweap Canyon
It kept fading in and out and breaking up. At one point a small area above the horizon looked like it was raining rainbow. Even pale, I was very excited.
This is my 300th post! I wasn’t sure I’d ever make it this far in less than one year of blogging.

My Mom was really big on studio photos when I was a kid. This is my brother at two years old. (Hope he’s not going to be pissed about this post.) It’s always been a favorite of mine and I wasn’t even born yet. I think he looks like Desi Arnez.

Sally from The (Mis) Adventures of Karl and Sally has started a new meme where the past is remembered through sharing old family photographs and this is #15. I love the idea and hope you will too. So join the fun by clicking here.
