The Joshua Tree Trip
We drove through Yucca Valley last week and I was hypnotized by the Joshua Trees. Yesterday I got the chance to drive through the Joshua Tree National Park. Didn't get a chance to stop and look around too much because we had to get back before dark but it was enough to fall in love with the place. With a yearly pass, I'll be back when I have more time.
PS. Got a computer finally. Hopefully can get it up and running in the next couple of days

To Stand Above The Wreckage
To Stand Above The Wreckage
Sometimes we have to step on the top wrung of a step ladder to look upon the wreckage that surrounds us to see how lucky we are. My 77 year old Mother in Law rolled her car the other day and walked away unhurt.

Where's Grover?
Where's Grover?
I took this shot of Mr Stix for the Macro Anything challenge (I'm using a phone and that's about as macro as it gets) but when I saw the shot, my eyes went straight to the shadow of Grover from Sesame Street on the wall. It took me forever to figure out what it was. It's my shadow. So, I'm putting it in the Bizarre challenge (which is where most of my shots belong anyway)
View on Black or Grover will pop his shadow in all your photos

If you accidentally sit on it, you have to buy it. Luckily it was cheap and I didn't sit all the way down.

Like Sand In An Hour Glass
Like Sand In An Hour Glass
At least now I know to roll up the window when driving through blowing sand. There were sand drifts on the road ... and in my car.

Is Dork One Of The Seven Deadly Sins?
Is Dork One Of The Seven Deadly Sins?
I went to take a photo of Toby sleeping for "Sloth" because Fuego won't let me take his photo. Just as I went to snap the shot, Fuego pops up his head with this mad look on his face. Apparently I am not allowed to take a photo of ANY of the cats. Is Dork one of the deadly sins? If it is, I've got this one covered ( not me you goofs, the cat!)

Wild Dodo Chase
Wild Dodo Chase
Don't look at me that way. I didn't have a goose. Anyway, I told him to go fly to the top of San Jacinto Mountain. He Agreed after I convinced him it was only 400 feet tall (he's a Dodo, it wasn't that difficult).
PS. please don't mention how LARGE his rear end is. He's sensitive.
View on black or the Dodo will call you to come pick him up when he realizes he can't make it.
