All Caught Up


Wildflowers in my yard
Originally uploaded by Sandee4242
I'm finally caught up from the road trip photos. This wildflower was planted last year in my yard - this is the first year it's bloomed. Nice shot for the last day of June.

I'm posting from Flickr because the Blogger software isn't working. It won't let me upload any photos. I had several from Craters of the Moon, but thanks to Blogger, you only got to see one.

Bitterroot River, Montana

Just a small sample of the beautiful scenes along our way home up US 93 through Idaho and then Montana.

We spent some time at Craters of the Moon. The landscape pictures don't do justice to the desolation. The volcanic rock is amazing. I got several pictures like this one of the lichen on the rocks.

It was supposed to be a "little detour" on our way home. It turned into over a day delay, but that was ok. I got to see some fabulous scenery.

Steven's Memorial

Today we had Steven's Memorial and scattered his ashes in the river. It was hard, it was really sad, and I'm so glad I came. He was surrounded by friends and family that loved him. And what a perfect, beautiful place to do it.

Sunset over Rockport Reservoir, Utah

I'm back in town, but it's going to take a couple of days to get caught up. This is the scene Wednesday night after we made camp.

I'm sorry I don't have a more "summer" themed photo for this first day of summer. The weather refuses to cooperate.

In The Act

I am so glad I checked on the poppies in the morning.
Who knew they opened this way??

I love the "crinkled paper" look of them.

The high was 50 degrees.
Fifty degrees and raining.
So, obviously, they don't need sun or warmth to bloom.

In spite of several days of warm sunny weather, the poppies refuse to bloom. And now we've got a couple of days of rainy cool weather ahead of us. Doesn't look like they'll be blooming any time soon.

500th Post!

Another shot of the barn at Ramsey Road, only this time, instead of being covered in snow, it's surrounded by yellow flowers.

Hard to believe I've been "blogging" now for 500 posts. Thanks to everyone that comes by each day to check in. I hope I make it worth your while ~ at least most days. [grin]

I have two friends who suffer from different conditions, both of which have dizziness as a main symptom. After what I've gone through the last couple of days with my sinuses (which is NOTHING compared to what they deal with) I have a new appreciation. It is not fun.

Garden in Bloom

It's amazing what one day of 70 degree weather can do...

Marigolds

Lupine

And I can't remember what this is. [grin]
It was a gift from my neighbor last year and
I nursed it through the entire season without a hint of blooms.
This year it's covered in these beautiful purple blossoms.
