I think my experience with Tumbr has mostly been a waste of time. It’s been interesting, though, and I am deeply gratified the support of my wonderful followers. I just couldn’t get enough of them to justify the time I put in. Thanks especially to those who have helped me. I so appreciate it.
The small house we hung out in & performed beautiful music in (how could we not with such an outstanding lead guitarist?) 🎸😂 We camped about a 1/4 mile away on the Big Bend service projects I led.
I got carried away taking photos of Mule Ears on a b’packing trip
I don’t drink or gamble. So what was I doing in Las Vegas? Sightseeing.
It was mid-60s yesterday; 14 this morning & will stay below freezing until midweek. This is Texas, not Minnesota! People are depleting stores of food, toilet paper, & bottled water.🥶
This is coming back into Texas from New Mexico thru the Dog Canyon entrance
I have environmental stickers too but obviously missing something that she has😅
Desert flowers bloom quickly after a rain shower due to rapid evaporation
Many people mistake El Capitan for Guadalupe Peak, but it’s distance perspective viewed from the highway. There are no roads in the park. I’ve climbed Guadalupe Peak 5 times
That idiot right on the edge of that unstable rock is a younger & more foolish me
Don’t blame me! I took the photo; but I didn’t name it Nipple Hill! Kind of appropriate name though. 😁
I brought this guitar for a friend who’d flown in for my Sierra Club service project & wanted to try my Chet Atkins Gretsch. We had quite a combo: me on lead, the friend on this acoustic guitar, another on washtub bass, & some singers.
We always had cats but often dogs as well
