The Hill and other snapshots

     Yesterday morning Tuesday 9 November 2010

and this morning

     I don't have anything to say for myself. I'm still recovering from all the driving and sight seeing I did whilst Johnny was visiting. When we went up to Big Lake and through Apache National Forest  to  Alpine I took only one snapshot before the camera batteries died.

     I've lived in Arizona for just over thirteen years and am only just now getting around to reading Edward Abbey

     And here's a picture of Chloë. She's just over a year old now.

Til next time

     Drove John to PHX Skyharbor Airport yesterday. Long and leisurely drive through White Mountain Apache Reservation, Salt River Canyon (a few more snapshots) through Globe and on to Apache Junction skirting Superstition Mountains. Now I'm feeling at loose ends a bit. I look forward to reading John's account of his visit. His first visit to the US was nearly thirty years ago. I lived just three short blocks from the beach in Venice, CA then and didn't have much time off work to explore California the way we've been travelling around Arizona and New Mexico.

Another trip

     to New Mexico this time. Santa Fe which means: ART. Specifically traditional and contemporary Native American art and Georgia O'Keeffe. On the way home we visited the Acoma pueblo.
