mini road trip


Hit the road last weekend, in search of sunshine.
Since the weather reports showed that the only sunny part of the
country was going to be southern Nevada and California,
it made the decision easy. We chose to head to the Valley
of Fire, a beautiful state park in southern Nevada, and then
on to other parts...

Polka with Lawrence Welk

The first night, everyone else seemed to have the same idea -
campsites in Valley of Fire were full. So, we camped out in a motel room.

There is a joy in them,
similar to Matisse.

the nude in a yellow canoe
at midnight...)
