We are still trying to get over our colds and get back to 100% so we can get back on the road. As we lived in this area for over 5 years it was hard to get out and take pictures of the area that we have seen for years so Dick decided to share some of his photos with you. This is just a small sample of pictures that he liked.
The first is a sunset that was taken in Boardman Oregon during one of our camping trips with friends.
This was taken on the east coast and using a photo editing program the sunlight was added to the center of the photo. It's fun to try and edit photos to bring out the image.

Who can go to Las Vegs and go away without some night shots? We had a great time there and did get lots of shots that night.
Shortly after taking this picture in Death Valley a gentleman walked up to us and asked if that was our truck parked over there as one of the tires was leaking. No problem as we have roadside service and all we had to do was make a call and they would come out and change it for us. We pulled out the old cell phone to find that there was not any service for miles so guess who changed the tire in the very hot Death Valley.
Posted on our Blog was another picture of "the girl in red" on the brow of the hill. While traveling through Death Valley there standing on the top of a ridge was a very lovely young lady in a red dress. We figured when she saw Dick taking pictures that she started to pose. We did get several shots of her and later shared them with her.
Just another day on the ocean beach with lots of shore birds being chased up the beach by the incomming tide and waves.
At low tide these rocks are reflected in the water with the ocean in the background. Notice the one tree on the one rock and the clam digger in the foreground trying to dig clams for his dinner.
Another beach and another shot with people searching for treasurers. Did Dick tell you that he loves the ocean?
It looks like Dick is not the only one who loves the ocean. If you look closely you can see a huge smile on the young ladies face sitting on the top of the log.
From the beach to a big hole in the ground. It's hard to see the size of this underground garden that is over 30' tall. It took a lot of work to get this picture without a tripod but we got the shot.
We did get into some snow and wild flowers in the spring and while hiking in the mountains we found lots of lovely spots like this.
A cold day near Mount Shasta with the clouds sliding down the side of the mountain with part of this lake still frozen. Now where is our fishing pole?
From the mountains to the wheat field. How many stories can this old house tell us? The best we can do is preserve the history in a few photos. Listen close, what is it telling you?

What can we say about this photo except she was really trying hard to get a drink and keep her feet dry. Right time at the right place. (Dick took this photo over 30 years ago.)

Good to hear from you. We are working our way south to Arizona. Skip will be working on the maintenance crew at Quail Run RV resort in Arizona City, 21 hrs per week for space and electric. Arizona City is just south of Casa Grande off of I-10. Currently in St. George UT. Temps are mid to high 90's which is just perfect for us desert people!
Hey Jackie and Dick, I sure hope you are feeling better by now!! Kids play "germ warfare" don't they! :)
