I hiked up the hill behind our house today and got some photos from up there of the house and neighborhood. I combined two photos together to get this panoramic rear view showing the patio and some of the RV pull through. If you click on the image to enlarge, you can make out the sewer, electrical and city water hookups near the right end of the patio.
The town established a no-leash dog park near the airport. Verna and I took Bear and Cabela to the park to let them run today. I took a series of images and stitched them into this panoramic view of the facility. Click on the image to enlarge.
This afternoon, I walked across the road from the house and snapped this panoramic image of the new house. On the left edge of the image, you can see the RV drive-through exit. The contractor graded and compacted the drive all the way from the concrete apron (right side) through the RV parking space (with full hookups) in the rear and back down to the main road.

UPDATE: I liked this image so much that I integrated it into the banner for our website.
This is a panoramic image of the canyon seen from Lookout Point on the South Rim of Grand Canyon. I took this image in 2008 during our winter vacation. Lookout Studio, with all the icicles, is on the right. Just right of center, you can see the tower atop the El Tovar Hotel. This is much different than summer conditions at the Canyon.
Most of the electrical fixtures we picked out have been installed except for a few. Unfortunately, two of the sconces Verna selected for the front of the house were broken in the box. After a little discussion, we decided to take them back to the store for credit and to order some custom sconces now. Verna eventually wanted to do this anyhow, so this turn of events made our minds up.
In the panorama below, you can see the garage door has been installed and the air conditioner/heater unit is in place on the roof. We went up to the front door today where the doorbell button was and pressed it. To our surprise, we heard the bell go DING DONG!

We took a ride out to Lake Pleasant, AZ today. It was a beautiful day in central Arizona, so we took time out from the new house to take a scenic drive to the lake. While we were there, I snapped several shots of the lake and dam to stitch together into these panoramic images. Click on a thumbnail to see the full sized panorama.
