Yosemite National Park

Once again we are in one of our favorite places.  Yesterday left Coarsegold, CA and drove thru park to get to TTN (Thousand Trails campground) on north entrance of park.  Unfortunately, we had a little mishap and brother John scraped up the side of his rig pretty bad/good.  He is fine as is Bubba (his bird) but pretty scary.  Not sure what happened and fortunately he was on mt side of road so when he went off the road he slid along side the mountain.  Always have to think of the good part. If you can call it that...
Met up with friend Dave here.  He has been wintering out on the west coast since he is planning on traveling up to Alaska this summer.  Always nice to see Dave. 
Took a ride into the park today without John since he had to stay home to make arrangements to get fixed!  Guess someone will come out here tomorrow to take a look and estimate damage.
Plan on being here a few days so should get some good  hiking in...

Hingham, MA

Before leaving Hingham I finally was able to get a picture of this sign.  Massachusetts has one for each of their towns and it's such a kick to drive from one town to another and see this sign with date of settlement started.  Hard to get pictures because you don't know where the town line begins and there is no place to pull over for a quick stop and picture.  It's a bummer. On this one I was lucky enough after a month to be driving towards sign and 1st at stoplight with camera next to me. ha!  All these towns are so historic and have some wonderful history.  Too bad so many have been neglected.  Roads are terrible in most places and some are really run down while others thrive.. just like anywhere.  Just interesting observations. I was taken so much with Hingham because we lived there for 5 weeks and it was so CLEAN!  Loved the manicured yards and over 1800 historic homes and some still in residence of 13 generations!  That is something in this young country with so littl

Taliesin West

We were surprised to have Earl III come down for a very short visit in Aug 2017 and took him up to Sedona and Taliesin West to see Frank Lloyd Wright's art school.  Very interesting tour and unique setting.  Of course homes are crowding in on this area now so not the seclusion that was intended when originally built.

It was a bit of a surprise to see this guy swoop down on this dove at our "quail block" the other day.  He sat there looking around long enough for us to get a few pictures then flew off to eat in private.  Thank goodness he took the dove with him instead of feasting right there.  They have to eat too; and all that but it is disturbing to come out and see a pile of feathers.  I can speak from past experience they do not leave anything behind besides feathers.. no skin or bones or waste...  Pretty isn't it...
