Do Life Right

We recently checked out the Prehistoric Dig event at the Tucson Botanical Gardens. It is a very nice garden and my family enjoys the different special exhibits the garden displays. Here are a few photographs of our recent visit. Our quick review: It is a very nice (but small) garden and […]

We’ve tried Zazzle, Cafe Press, and the several other online t-shirt stores. They each have their own pros and cons. For the most part, I keep going back to Cafe Press and Zazzle. I absolutely love the postage stamps I’ve made through the Zazzle website with my very own photographs and computer […]

My family and I live on an acreage south of Tucson, Arizona. We are fortunate enough to have land with many mature saguaros (as evidenced by many of my photographs on this site). We’ve owned our land for four years and we’ve lived on it for slightly over two. In those years, […]

We thought we were in the movie Cars when we saw this little motel in Holbrook, AZ. We almost stayed there, but their office was closed when we wanted to get a room. The other photos are from Route 66 too.

There is only one place in the United States of America where four states all touch. Here are a few photos of my family there. The states are Arizona, Utah, Colorado and New Mexico. There is a charge to visit it, but it’s free if you show up when they are right […]

The Eagles knew it, standing on a corner hanging out is the place to be. Winslow, Arizona, actually has an official statue with a girl in a flatbed Ford painted on the wall behind the statue. Here are some photos of my family hanging out there. My younger daughter, Teagan, has loved […]

My family recently went on a trip to Northern Arizona and Southeastern and Central Utah to explore dinosaur bones. We actually ended up going to more of Utah than we’d originally intended. It is a fantastic state. The terrain changes drastically, much more than any other single state we’ve been to. […]

Here are the answers to yesterday’s photographs.
The first crater is the Barringer Crater, located between Flagstaff and Winslow, Arizona. It was most likely formed by a nickel-iron meteorite. This crater is amazing to see!
The second crater is Upheaval Dome Crater located in the northern part of Canyonlands National Park just outside of Moab, […]

I’ve recently had the opportunity to view several different craters. Looking at a crater in real life is a completely different experience than seeing photographs; go see one if you have the opportunity. Craters can be created from meteorites (comets, iron, asteroid), salt domes, or volcanoes. Can you guess which crater below […]

From yesterday’s photographs:
The first is white sand from White Sands National Monument just west of Alamagordo, New Mexico. This sand is made from gypsum. These dunes look like snow and are perfect for sledding on.
The second is yellow sand from Arches National Park just north of Moab, Utah. It looks more […]
