This is the Hassayampa River which is rarely seen flowing at this point in Wickenburg. Today and last night, there were showers and thunderstorms over the whole area, resulting in whitewater flow under the pedestrian bridge. I’m sure the river has had more water than this, but this is the most we have seen in nearly three years since moving to Wickenburg. Photo courtesy of Verna. Click on the image to enlarge.
This is a shot of the two television sets in our entertainment console this afternoon. The top TV has the Arizona Diamondbacks baseball team at the San Francisco Giants and the Bottom TV has the Arizona Cardinals at the Saint Louis Rams. We watched both games while enjoying a delicious dinner consisting of Buffalo chicken sandwiches with bleu cheese coleslaw and grilled corn on the cob. Click on the image to enlarge.
About ten miles down US 60 from Wickenburg, is Morristown. There isn’t much there that is visible from the highway but several abandoned buildings and this old decrepit trailer. I am sure that there is more to the town, but unless you get off of the highway, you won’t see it. Verna thinks that there might STILL be someone living in this wreck. Click on the image to enlarge.
Verna took this photo of Mom and some of her friends at the ranch playing cards the other day. After the afternoon snack time, several of the residents gather to play “crazy eights” or some other card game. Click on the image to enlarge.
Verna snapped a couple of photos of the view outside of Mom’s apartment at the ranch. I merged them into this single panoramic image of Mom’s view out of her window. The oleanders on the left and the marigolds around the fountain are all in bloom now. Click on the image to enlarge.
My camera robot took this photo when Verna and I were visiting the Grand Canyon Desert View on July 23, 2008. We have been living in Arizona for almost three years and have only visited the canyon once in that time. We’re planning a trip this fall that will take us to Indian country and perhaps then we will visit the canyon again. Click on the image to enlarge.
