reaching the west coast after several amazing weeks in the sonoran desert, we anticipated a leisurely seaside drive back north, but things took a surreal turn as plan a became b, then c, then d...
hiding out in the desert again for another week as we waited for the border rush to end before reluctantly coming home
there is no place like home, however, it is nice to be back and we wait another 2 weeks under a voluntary quarantine order before seeing our friends and raising a glass...hope you are all safe at home, hunkering, hankering, hopefully not hoarding
cheers
Grand Portage State Park is located at the northeastern tip of Minnesota on the Canada–United States border. Its 120-foot High Falls is the tallest waterfall in the state and has been an icon of the area of centuries. The falls and rapids that proceed it were obstacles that led the voyageurs and fur traders of the 1700s to craft the area's name Git-che-O-ni-ga-ming (Ojibwe) or Grand Portage (French). In order to connect heavily-used trade routes, these men had to traverse nine miles around the falls from the Pigeon River to Lake Superior.

Clear Lake - Iowa
Not much action on the beach today! Temps cool in the mid fifties, and strong sustained winds at thirty-five plus mph. We didn't stay very long either, but the whitecaps on this side of the lake were amazing!
Spring is having a tough start in north central Iowa. Come June, this whole area will be filled with parents, pipsqueaks and poodles!

This majestic Gothic Revival schoolhouse was designed and built by W.W. Eldridge in 1889. It served the community until 1986 when the school was relocated to a modern building. Renovations were carried out and it was converted into Council Chambers until the Town Council was amalgamated with the larger Northern Midlands Council in 1993.
But the building still serves the community as a tourism information hub, and importantly continues to house Evandale's valuable historical archival material.

The original pavilion at Longhorn Cavern State Park in Burnet County, Texas. Completed by the Civilian Conservation Corps mid-1930s.
Union Pacific's Sharp, Utah - Valmy, Nevada coal train is making good time, rolling along State Street on the Provo Subdivision between American Fork and Lehi, Utah the afternoon of Nov. 3, 1985. The open fields that bordered the track are all gone now. In fact, a Costco big box store occupies this plot of land today. Time marches on, like it or not!
I can't recommend Moore state park in Paxton enough, even it's a bit out of the way. The old mill site is impressive, as is the "waterfall". When the azaleas bloom, this place must be even more special.
Works best when viewed in large.
Here is a second attempt at the State Capitol building. The sky was on fire this particular morning, see previous panorama of the same morning.
This image is double exposed in photoshop. I created a duplicate layer and exposed the bottom layer for the foreground and exposed the top layer for the sky manually blending the two with layer masks.
Thanks for looking.
Trying to remember those warmer days ... was around 10 degrees F this morning heading to work here in Maryland ...
About to roll over the state line into Colorado, BNSF's McCook - Akron road switcher leans into a sweeping curve as they head west.
Cape Kiwanda State Natural Area is a state park in Pacific City, Oregon, United States. Cape Kiwanda is on the Three Capes Scenic Route, which includes Cape Meares and Cape Lookout. Hiking to the top of Cape Kiwanda allows views of Nestucca Bay to the south and Cape Lookout to the north.
A sea stack, named Chief Kiawanda Rock (note different spelling than Cape Kiwanda) is located 1⁄2 mile southwest of the cape. It is one of three features along the Oregon Coast that are called "Haystack Rock," though the one in Cannon Beach is more widely known.
