Heading to Phoenix tonight. We’re camping along the Colorado River in Blythe, CA. Here’s a panoramic image taken from our campsite after we got set up. Click image to enlarge.

Water Fight
Sisters BB and Carol were entertaining Drake in Mom and Dad’s backyard today. One of his favorite moments was squirting them with the spritzer I use to water some of Mom’s plants. He was laughing so hard . . .

Daisies
The daisies are going strong in one of the patio planters. These pretty little flowers are one of the reasons that springtime is such a happy time for me. Click on the image to enlarge.

The After Lunch Walkabout
Now that I’m back in the Manhattan Beach office, I get to take summertime walks through Manhattan Village after I chow down. Summertime? It only seems like it. A couple of weeks ago, I had to wear a hooded jacket to walk to this exact spot.

Scotty’s Castle
One of the main attractions at the Death Valley National Park, is Scotty’s Castle. The castle, actually a residence and ranch, is in the northern part of Death Valley. There are many legends and controversies surrounding the castle, not the least of which concerns Scotty, himself.
Below, Verna looks into the dry plunge in the foreground with the castle and chime tower beyond. The last time we were here, the plunge was full of water, ready for swimmers. We don’t know why it is dry now. Click on the image for larger view.
