Long Hill Reservation
We were here last year, but that was September, and we wanted to see what it looked like in the Spring. It was a day of scattered showers, and it…
Great Meadows National Wildlife Refuge
This walk is our standard one when we don’t have time to go very far – usually we tackle it close to sunset when we have just a little more…
Local Flowers
You’ll never guess where this was taken. Our own front yard!
Borderland State Park
This one is from a few weeks ago. Sorry for the delay! The weather is finally getting nice. Not a lot of leaves yet in this series, but it was…

Sedona: Chuckwagon Trail, Devil’s Bridge
Our mission on the second day was to see Devil’s Bridge. I borrowed a Sedona hiking guide from my friend, The Other Kate, and this was the only section she’d…
Happy birthday to David!
He’s 21 today!
Sedona: First Two Days
Just like last January, we decided to warm up a little in the middle of winter with a visit somewhere warm. This time we chose Sedona. We flew into Phoenix…
