Saturday, May 5, 2018 We left the house at 5:45 AM. Because the house we rented does not allow dogs, we left Bubba and Lucy with my cousin Sue. Our plan was to get to Lawrence, Kansas, for the first night. Traffic wasn’t too bad, but the weather in Nashville looked ominous. We didn’t see …

I went to my friend’s house to shoot birds. I love the setup she has. The birds hardly know we’re there. After shooting at Linda’s house and watching her and our friend Nina shoot, I came home and practiced my bird shooting. I wanted to focus and action shots. However, getting up close is always …

I love our road trips! But sometimes it’s nice to just go outside in our yard and sit. And if I’m going to do that, I might as well have my camera with me. This little guy just hovered not far from me. It was almost as if he wanted me to take his picture. …
Beatrice Turns 5 – Day 8
Saturday, April 21, 2018 The last day of every trip is always the worst. Not only are we tired, but the excitement of going on a road trip is gone. We left the hotel at 6:48 AM. We do get to see some pretty cool sunrises on our travels. We arrived home at 6:45 PM–total …
Beatrice Turns 5 – Day 7
Friday, April 20, 2018 We left Laramie at 7:45 AM–it was 36 degrees and cloudy. Sometimes when I can’t sleep or I’m bored while riding, I look for things to take pictures of while driving 75 MPH. Not easy. On this morning we saw a thunderstorm with lightning off to the south. I was shocked …
Beatrice Turns 5 – Day 6
Thursday, April 19, 2018 Tommy, Evan and I got up early and left the house at 5:45. We drove about 80 miles (half of which was on a dirt road) to find a Sage Grouse lek. These birds are so funny during the mating season. For a bird who looks like an average bird while …
Beatrice Turns 5 – Day 5
Wednesday, April 18, 2018 We drove over to Curt Gowdy State Park. Not much to see there this time of year so we came back to Vedauwoo which was closed. But we did find this Mountain Bluebird. He and his mate were not at all nervous about us being close to them. It looked like …
Beatrice Turns 5- Day 4
Tuesday, April 17, 2018 Tuesday morning was cold and windy, but we decided to go for a ride anyway. We drove out towards the Snowies but did not get too far past Centennial before the road was closed. I had Tommy stop so that I could get a picture of the Arthur sign. We then …
Beatrice Turns 5 – Day 3
Monday, April 16, 2018 It’s so hard for me to believe that our baby is now 5. Where did the time go? It seems as if it was only yesterday we were on our way to Laramie to find out if Camper was a boy or girl. While Beatrice was sleeping, Amanda hung streamers from …
Beatrice Turns 5 – Day 2
Sunday, April 15, 2018 We left the hotel at 8:10 AM. It was 26 degrees, windy and blowing snow. We decided to ride through the Squaw Creek Wildlife Preserve which is just two miles off of I29 north of St. Joe. Unfortunately, there wasn’t much to see. We stopped when we got off of I29 …
