I'm always amazed how train engines can pull so much weight behind them.

My husband is a big fan of trains, and this was on his "Train Watching" wish list. I am by no means a railfan, but am always up for an adventure. I have to say I am glad I went because I found out, although I may not be a railfan, I am a big fan of photographing trains!!

Colors seem a bit deeper, shadows dominate and the artistic side in me sees this as the most beautiful part of the day. The promise of a quiet evening, after a hectic day, is what the hustle/bustle side of me loves most about twilight.

Known by the knoll,
Next to the robin
In every human soul. Bold little beauty,
Bedecked with thee,

Today I'm taking a moment to reflect on the past month of A to Z posts. I've learned about my blogging "style", what I like to blog about and how often I should blog. I have also had the chance to visit some very interesting blogs along the way!

In general, I try and stay away from typical "Zoos". Something about animals being caged for the enjoyment of humans just seems wrong. However, the San Diego Zoo Wildlife Alliance is the exception to the rule. Their Mission says it all:"San Diego Zoo Wildlife Alliance is committed to saving species

Surrounded by alien myths and conspiracy theories, Roswell had always been on my list of places to explore. It turns out it is a perfect stop over when road tripping to my family in Texas. This gave me a chance to see what kind of extraterrestrials I could find! Driving south on 285 towards Roswell is where I captured this passing storm.

My husband's family hails from midwest and we have spent a few Christmas's visiting during the Winter months.

Vegas is another destination I didn't discover until later in life, but once I did it is hard to keep me away! 2020 is the first year we haven't visited Sin City in almost 20 years, so I have quite the collection of photos.

When I was younger, I never would have thought Utah would end up on my bucket list. Fast forward a few decades, and I can honestly say that Utah is one of the most beautiful states I have visited. A visit(or 2) to Bryce Canyon helped sway my decision. I can't find words to explain the beauty of the area, so I'll let my pictures do the talking....  The Adventures of the LLB Ganghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12502162429874740820noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3001462839422918138.post-81016574454302548722021-04-22T22:00:00.181-07:002021-04-22T22:00:00.216-07:00RoadTrippin' on Route 66 thru Tucumcari , NM
