Well, we just returned from another non-stop adventure, which included Bearizona, Sedona (this time via an Earth Wisdom Jeep Tour), the Grand Canyon (including a small plane ride which made me green), and more Flagstaff. I will be posting more images on the SmugMug and Fine Art America sites within the coming weeks.

As teachers, we go back to school next week for another season. I swear there are five seasons: the four by nature, and then the school season. I must add a sixth season now: FIRE season. Our mountains are getting pounded by lightning everywhere causing all sorts of fires.

And for the many professionals out there connecting with me on Linked-In, I send a “Thank you!” your way. I really do appreciate the connections.

Wow! It’s been a long time since I have updated this blog. Life has taken to many twists and turns, even this new website we are building.

We just returned to the SoCal Mtns after a long and adventurous summer. Here is a basic list:

• A week in Carlsbad: San Diego County Fair, Pro Golf lesson with my daughter, State Beach, Oceanside, PowWow, San Luis Rey, and other local activities.
• A week in Phoenix during the 122 degree heat wave and the Yarnell Fire tragedy.
• A week in the South Lake Tahoe area: stayed 7300’ up near Daggett Summit, Pope Beach, Taylor Creek Trails, Emerald Bay, Fallen Leaf Lake/Falls, Truckee River Rafting, Nevada (Minden/Gardnerville), Yosemite, Mono Lake, Bodie Ghost Town, Lone Pine, White Mtns/Ancient Bristlecone Forest, Alabama Hills & Mt. Whitney.
• A few days in and around Disneyland surprising our daughter for her 9th Birthday with the partnership of family and friends. Awesome!
• A week in Flagstaff during a serious monsoon season: The Petrified Forest, Holbrook, Winslow, Homolovi II Ruins, Williams, Deer Farm, and I spent a day on a multi-level tour of Page, Antelope Canyon (boats and the lower slot canyon). I need to get to the Upper Canyons next time,
• Sedona & Phoenix: The 3 of us went on a doorless deluxe helicopter ride over all of Sedona during a impending storm. Exhilarating!
• Palm Desert, CA: Finally got to spend some time with our new granddaughter, Justin & Sarah.

We still have a bit to go, with an appt to return to the Grand Canyon later this month!! Stay tuned for more.
