LONG STRAIGHT ROADS

The highways are long and straight. I'm afraid Paul will fall asleep driving but so far so good....

WINDMILL FARM IN TEXAS

Not a great photo with my little point and shoot. This windmill farm stretched from north to south as far as the eye could see. Multi purpose land use here. Farmland, oil wells and windmills making good use of the Texas landscape.

DESERT FIRE

while in Texas we were curious what was causing the smoke ahead. We were surprised to find a desert fire with a service truck right in the middle of it.

MAINE TO YUMA

Leaving Maine! We had about a foot of snow on the ground. Paul had been up since 3:00 AM the morning before plowing snow.

I looked at the GPS which told us we had about 3200 miles to go to our destination...

LAST ONE FOR NOW

This is probably the last entry in our travel blog at least for a while. We'll be home in a couple days. It's still snowing in Maine . Good grief! I do miss our family and friends, tho... a lot.

For those interested, we did use a wonderful Canon 5D digital SLR...for about 5% of the photos on this blog. All the rest were taken with an inexpensive little Canon digital point-and-shoot Power Shot SD 1000. It was easy to stick in my pocket and take anywhere. I have been extremely impressed with this little camera. It's really tough (I dropped it twice, once on a rock, and stepped on it once) and takes amazingly nice quality pix. It endured a huge amount of dust in the desert.

It has 7.1 megapixels. I got it used on eBay for 129.00. I certainly got my $$ worth! I highly recommend it.

I'm so glad everyone seemed to enjoy the blog. I'll pick up where we left off on our next adventure!

LUNCH ON THE PARKWAY

ANNIE GETS COMFORTABLE

Annie, at age (almost) 13 still pops up on the couch for a nap! (while we are moving, lol)
