Santa Fe, New Mexico and Chaco Canyon

New Mexico here we come!

 Need to leave the house for a few days.  You know, leave our house and rent an AirBnB and stay at someone else's house.

A really quick search, I mean the first AirBnB posting was the one we selected.  A nice little cottage situated about a twenty minute walk from the historic district.


The outside is disgusting but the inside was spectacular!



I hope you know that I am kidding!  The outside was nice.




Dammit! Getting ahead of myself here.  

We can't go anywhere without stopping many times.

First stop was Steelworks Park in Pueblo, CO





Cool place, but the museum was closed due to COVID.

Oh, then there was this abandoned house...




We got to the AirBnB house in the later afternoon and promptly headed out for a walk downtown.







We didn't feel comfortable enough to dine out in a restaurant so we headed back to the cottage to cook up some of the food we brought.

Tomorrow, Chaco Canyon!







I believe that this was our third trip to Chaco Canyon.  The weather was clear and cold and very difficult to shoot due to the low winter sun this time of year.

Can't wait for spring!

California, Arizona & Back Again

 Well, Israel is a bust this year too... Time to visit the family via a road trip. We figure it will take two days of driving to reach California.  Of course we will make planned stops along the way. First stop, Antelope Valley State Park in Utah.  Only a hour drive from Salt Lake City. From Top to Bottom: Buffalo Wide Angle Shot of the Lake Infrared Photo of the Plains Infrared Photo of the Lake We spent a lot of time there shooting the buffalos (with cameras) but we were loosing light fast.  Major flying insect invasion.  Sounded like rain when driving. Next stop, Bonneville Salt Flats, UT Not much to say here other than it is fun as fuck to drive at 110 mph here. Back in the car and headed out to the Bay Area.  We decided to stay in Suisun City for the first two nights so we could visit with mom before heading out to the Wine Country. The Hampton Inn in Suisun City (infrared photo) After we visited with mom, we headed out to our next adventure, Safari We...

Denver Zoo (New Lens Test)

 Michelle got tired of me asking if I could use her Fuji 100-400mm lens.  Really?  It's her damn fault for talking me into buying the new Fuji XT-4 in the first place... bitch. I found it on sale at Mike's Camera and with the rebate and free stuff they provided, it was hard to pass it up. Since fall is upon us, bird watching is pretty much out as they have mostly migrated to warmer climates.  Well, that is except for the ones at the Denver Zoo.  Camera, new lens and COVID Masks in hand, we headed out to the zoo. Well, as you can see, there are more than just birds there. The Fuji Lens blows my old Leica (Panasonic) 100-400mm out of the water.  BIG TIME.  The Fuji is sharp in the entire focal range.  A bit more pricier but the image quality speaks for itself.
