The views from the roadway at Canyonlands National Park (North entrance) are just fantastic. Not the Grand Canyon, but almost . . .

London Bridge in 3D
Here’s the latest in my series of three-dimensional anaglyph (red-cyan) pictures. While at Lake Havasu, AZ, I took two pictures to produce this image. One leaning left and one leaning right, to simulate the distance between a person’s eyes. You can read about this technique on my 3D Stuff page. Click on the image to see a larger version. If you don’t have your 3D glasses handy, you can click for a 2D picture of the London Bridge.
House Under the Rock
Canyon de Chelly, in northeastern Arizona has some of the most breathtaking views down into the canyons. There are actually two canyons in the area – the Canyon de Chelly (we visited last year) and this one, the Canyon del Muerto, or “canyon of the dead.” There are ruins in both canyons and each scenic overlook has an anecdote about the canyon before you. This one was about the ‘House under the Rock’ which can be seen in the distance as Verna photographs it. Click for the bigger view.
The Bear Stair
We found this at Bed, Bath and Beyond – this fits the ‘beyond’ category.
Since Bear, our Shep/Lab mix dog is getting a little older, she has had trouble jumping into the back of the SUV. Solution? The “Bear Stair!” I’m sure it was not called that in the store, but it fits fine, considering the application and who it’s for.
We were picking Bear up from the kennel at the end of our vacation when Bob took this video.
Olmstead District House
Yesterday, I took this picture of a lovely old southwestern-style home. It is in the Olmstead District between Old Downtown Torrance and Torrance High School.
I love most of the homes along this historic section of our town. Click image for the 640-480 pixel version.
Mom and Dad’s Visit
We were treated to a pleasant surprise this week when my Mom and Dad dropped in for a little visit. They had just been to Dad’s doctor and stopped at the house on their way home. Bob came home from work a little early, so we all had a nice chat catching up on family matters and gossip. It was very pleasant.
