Stage Coach Days in Arizona

We had the great opportunity to come visit my Dad in Florence, AZ for our spring break!  He bought the Stage Coach that my Uncle owned and gave tourists rides in Jackson Hole, WY for decades.  I even had the opportunity to drive it for a few weeks when my other Uncle, (who drove it for his summer job off of teaching) had some other business to take care of.  I was able to perform in the shoot out in Jackson as well that summer.  Such great times and memories.  I'm glad my Dad was able to keep the memories alive.  The harnesses on this team ("Dime & Dollar") belonged to my Grandfather.

Week 7 - Bald Eagle

Ok, I can't take credit for taking this picture but I did edit it a few different ways.  Gary saw this bald eagle one night (January 14, 2011) and started snapping pictures.  I wish the composition was a little different but at the same time I like how the Eagle is framed by the trees and I felt if I cropped too much it took away from that.

Rusty

I haven't done so well at my post a day and that's ok.  I'm not going to dwell on it.  Here are two pictures for you.  Our dog got ran over a couple weeks ago.  He was very good at staying away from the highway but I guess he decided he needed to start wandering ... like our other dogs always seemed to start doing too.  Well, he got ran over and Jake was out there and saw it.  It was a hard time for us and needless to say, I'm tired of having dogs.  Five in the last ten years.
