OBLIGATIONS OF THE RETIRED ~ Goodbye Colorado River

Since November we've been enjoying the usually quiet but always scenic geography of the Colorado River and Mohave Valley. Traveling from south of Yuma, Arizona to North of Davis Dam, Nevada with nighttime temps in the low 20's and 100F during the day.  Goodbye Colorado, obligations await us at home, see ya next winter.

Sunrise at Nevada Telephone Cove just north of Davis Dam, NV

Prickly Pear Cactus beginning their bloom in latter March.

Brittle Bush in full bloom ALMOST EVERYWHERE in the desert and

the Desert Locust by the millions ready to eat them and anything else in sight.

Mating dance/flight of the Ring-billed Seagull preform at the cove.

Eat'en good in the neighborhood.  Our crew "on the hill" outside of Earp, CA

Inflated Blister Beetle ~ Thankfully these guys are harmless, except to flowers.

Western Kingbird.  Another "lifer" for me.  Fuzzy long shot but it's a positive ID.

Two courting Sonora Whip-tailed lizards

It's not all fun and games.  Setting up Jackie's new smart phone required two phones, a computer and endless hours of guidance from at least half a dozen Verizon techies.

Good morning in December and good night the last day of March from our home on the hill.
