Happenings in the First Half of 2016

It has been quite some time since I have posted anything on my blog.  Part of the problem has been that I get sucked into Facebook.  But here a few images from this year's events.

In January, Ann & I did our annual photo workshop at the 

Elkhorn Ranch southwest of Tucson.

Cowboy & Cowgirl

The girls - Tsegi & Simone

In March, we did a wonderful backpack with friends into

a very remote part of the Grand Canyon.

For several years, we have been trying to reach and then find

Archaic pictographs that might be 7,000 years old.

We found the paintings and lots of lithics, too.

In June, we attended Kate's graduation from the

Rhode Island School of Design.

Her masterpiece was a five-panel monoprint of 

Glen Canyon Dam

Proud Parents

Another of Kate's magnificent monoprints.

In June & July, I got to naturalize on two 

Grand Canyon river trips.

Guess who I ran into in the bottom of the Grand Canyon

on Father's Day?

Kate was rowing for the USGS & Grand Canyon Youth.

Redwall Cavern

Young Chuckwalla

Part of the 1500 folks who showed up in Bluff, Utah

to give their pros and cons to Secretary of the Interior Sally Jewell 

regarding the proposed Bears Ears National Monument.

A real toad strangler of a storm hit Bluff on August 5.

The San Juan River went from 

500 cfs to an incredible, terrifying 22,000 cfs.
