The sunset last night was spectacular to watch.

Sunrise this morning in the desert.  The show is just beginning.  It is always fun to watch the sun rise.

The sunrise yesterday reminded me of the painted desert with it’s colors.

This is mostly for my younger daughter there in Fairbanks Alaska, it was -30 this morning.

The picture above is the first shot I took this morning but the picture below is later.  It rained very hard for a while last night with lots of thunder and lightning

What a beautiful sunset here in the high desert.  I’m wondering with all this volcanic activity from Iceland if we will see some spectacular sunrises and sunsets when this ash spreads across our world.

Glorious start to a day here in the desert.  Wow is all I could say as I clicked the shutter on the camera.  It was just one of those sunrises.

The color of our world, I’ve found it everywhere we have been.  Sooner or later the sky lights up in such a special way, that it makes me thankful to be there to record it.

The light it’s the light of the high desert that gets you in those quick golden hours.

We are a few days away from leaving Arizona.  I get excited about moving to a new spot.  California here we come.  I’ve had fun so far here in this Valley of the Sun, I hope everyone enjoyed the birdlife and pictures we posted during our stay here.  We never made it to the Red Rock country just a hundred miles north.  I guess you just can’t see it all with one stop.  You can count on the fact we will return to Arizona in the future.  We are still getting our bearings in this new life style.

Learning the ins and outs of our new life on the road.  When I think of how far we have come since leaving the old Permafrost Ranch.  I’m kind of surprised by the amount of changes that has come to pass.  We are still adding equipment needed for the RV.  Things that make this moveable home a little better and more comfortable for us to live in.  Little things like wrap around step covers similar to astroturf to get the dirt off ones feet before getting inside.  Vent Covers, that keep the rain from coming in,  if you accidentally  leave your vents open while visiting family only to return to find your bed and floors wet.  Wheel covers for when one is parked to keep the sun off the tires.  Yes, it’s a learning experience.

There is so much more I could and will write about but I don’t want everyone to be bored to death by long postings.  Just like above, I could expand the list of stuff one has to acquire to live comfortably in a RV.  It’s almost never ending.  Just like this journey we are on.  Hopefully, never ending for the Nomads of the North, on the road, looking for squirrels and nuts across the USA
