It was also the home of one of my fellow writers Dave Jamesson unfortunately Dave passed away a few months ago. his book is still available though. Just click on his name to find out more.

From the Archives

I didn't get any shooting done this week due to circumstances beyond my control. So I dug out this shot of my favorite horse, even if it does belong to my brother-in-law he is a great animal. Every time I see him I wonder where his Indian rider is. Fortunately he is spending the summer in my pasture, so I get to spend time with him every time I get home. His name is Sunny Boy, and the name fits him well.

Arizona rest area.

Once again I found myself traversing the Great state of Arizona. At one rest area along side I-10 I took a break and found this little critter flitting around with a bunch of his friends. So I thought I would share this with everyone.

The other horse on our ranch

While Sunny Boy gets the most attention due to his coloring BJ or Big John is the one who is gentle enough to even let the grand daughters ride. He was once owned by a Forest Ranger and is one mellowest horses I know.

Something Different for me.

I normally pull a trailer with three axels, this week the company asked me to go up to Alberta Canada and pick up a brand new specialty trailer that they had purchased. When completely set up it will have twelve axels on the ground and weigh out at close to 100 tons. That is a lot more trailer than I want to pull but it was interesting to pull it down to the yard in southern Oregon for them.

Another image from Montana.

This was taken the same time as the one above. The lone tree on the rock caught my attention. Since I am running across West Texas again this week I thought another view Montana would be good.

No this not a UFO.

It is a Lunar Landing Module Trainer. I had some time to get from Pensacola to Houston so I stopped at the John C Stennis  Space Center on the Mississippi/Louisiana state line. This is visible from the interstate and had caught my attention many times. Next time I hope to get there earlier and catch the tour out to the actual test site where all of the engines that have been used since the Apollo program have been tested.

Navajo Country

Since I am a big fan of Tony Hillerman's  Navajo Police novels and since I was in that area today I thought I would share this image of the chapel at Laguna New Mexico which is close to the Big Res of Hillerman's books

This one was calling me

I stopped in a rest area and was walking around when this guy started singing. He almost posed for me. Every time I would move away from the tree he was in he would sing till I stopped.

Fall in our valley

Once again Mother Nature has taken her brush to the Aspens in the valley where we live.  These horses belong to my Brother-in-law who also lives directly across the valley from us. I'm not sure which season enjoy most when I am at home on the ranch.

Another view of our valley

It has been a busy week and so I am posting another image from my trip home. With my first snow storm of the season behind me I realize I am not ready for full winter just yet. I hit snow in Montana and it followed me through Wyoming and into Colorado. So to keep it light let's see one more look at fall before winter. This is our main road dressed in fall foliage.
