Left over from last fall the bright red is still stunning in the drabness of early spring along the Mississippi River.

On a Cliffside

RONDA3
This is the hotel where we stayed in Ronda. A close look will show the teeny size of the people along the edge and give a perspective. What an awesome sight.

Cactus Flower

flower
In this scanned post, the out-of-focus-ness of the original adds to the shimmering quality of the flower itself. It seems surreal, which is what I think of some of those amazing flowers that grow on cacti in a desert, like this one in Arizona.

Museum of Bandits

ronda4
I didn't go in to see why a museum for bandits was in the city of Ronda in Spain. But, as in so many other instances, the architecture and composition got my attention.

Prairie Dogs

PrairieDogs
Taken in Arizona, this was scanned from a photo. At first I thought the lines from a fence surrounding the prairie dogs took away from the picture. Now, they add a uniqueness to it that actually made me wonder who was truly fenced in.

Four Months and Counting Down

Ramsey Bridge
Four months from today I plan to be on this bridge along the Pine Creek Rail Trail nearing the end of riding 60 miles for my 60th birthday. In fact I will be less than 10 miles from the end at this point.
