Backside of the gorgeous hummer

This bird is so beautiful

We've lost our bird book so I don't know what species this beautiful hummingbird is. GORGEOUS

I'm assuming this is his wife

This is our nice spacious lot, with a Palo Verde shade tree!

Macho is visiting next door.

EXPLORING NEARBY

Anniebelle is doing great, lots of energy.

Looking out over Black Rock RV Village

Paul leads the way up the ridge, his daily walking path.

Bella loves her off leash walks in the desert.

Breezey would rather ride in the pouch.

FUN IN BLACK ROCK

On our walk up the ridge with Paul
Bella looooves our walks and never gets tired.

Paul and George in George's Joyner.

What happens at Black Rock stays at Black Rock!

SOUTHWEST 2010 THE BEGINNING: IT'S REALLY WET HERE!

Parked on the airstrip at Quartzsite. Pouring down rain kept us inside.
Can we pull out without sinking?

Tried to take the dogs out to potty, and lost my shoe in the mud.
Hopefully the desert will bloom like crazy after this!
