Road Trip...

4/27/2015

Late this winter an opportunity began to develop to visit friends and family along a path to the American Southwest. An old fashioned “road trip” seemed to be the just the way to do it. We chose the “Southern Route” since the Rockies were still full of snow, and we departed the second day of April. The journey was definitely a wonderful part of the experience.

Saturday morning, 5am…a small group of us early-risers are standing at the edge of a large marsh area in Rock County anticipating the start of the 2015 Annual Midwest Crane Count! Each year in mid-April over two thousand volunteers in six states of the upper Midwest participate in this survey of Sandhill and Whooping Cranes. Though
this was my first experience the sights and especially the sounds are addicting. I’m sure I’ll be back.

Red Rock Canyon...

Last Friday I had the opportunity to make some photographs in the Southwest Desert near Red Rock Canyon. Our two beautiful children were doing a form of rock-climbing known as “bouldering” and invited me along.

The photographs were very interesting, but there was a lesson for me in watching them carefully climb as a team: we have so much more potential TOGETHER than we do separately. An obvious lesson which was made more poignant since my children were the teachers.
