The world cannot be all bad when there are moments like these. Sometimes it feels like the world is full of only terrible things. If you watch the news, no one could blame you for thinking that. That's why I like to get away from cities and television and get out in nature where I can appreciate the beauty and positive things in the world. There are good things here … [Read more...] about Moments Like These

Waiting for the Moment in the Desert near Ajo Arizona
While driving south along Highway 85 towards Ajo, Arizona, I noticed some really cool rock formations in the Barry M. Goldwater Air Force Range. Unfortunately, because it's an air force range and they do air-to-ground bombing practice, you're not allowed in. In fact, when we drove by there were A10 Warthogs shooting 30mm canons at targets. It was quite an impressive sight to … [Read more...] about Waiting for the Moment in the Desert near Ajo Arizona

There are stages to the sunset that we just don’t get on the coast. Or perhaps it doesn’t happen frequently enough … [Read more...] about Desert Sunset at Joshua Tree National Park
Sunset at the Estuary in Campbell River, BC
A few evenings ago we were treated to the most beautiful sunset at our campsite at Thunderbird RV park in Campbell River, BC. This is our view from the back window of the RV! I'm so glad we picked an RV with a big picture window in the back. The estuary fills up with water at high tide, which just happened to coincide with sunset, producing beautiful … [Read more...] about Sunset at the Estuary in Campbell River, BC
