Adobe Dreams









We were back in Bluff in July and did some more work on the strawbale shed. We also got up on Cedar Mesa to have a walk-about and look at some centuries-old clay work. A couple of wonderful rainstorms managed to blow through and one produced a great rainbow. Another trip in August and most of the adobe clay work should be done. Ann is having fun (at least, I hope that it is fun) trying some different clay and lime slips on the outside walls.

La Plata Mountains











Ann & I recently enjoyed some day-hiking along the Colorado trail in the La Plata Mountains of southwestern Colorado. The wildflowers were amazing and having a camera (Canon G-12) with an articulated LCD screen made picture taking very easy. No groveling in the dirt to get those low down shots.
