Super Blue Blood Moon

with a full eclipse thrown in coming in the early hours of Jan31! this is just a plain old "almost" full moon rising out in the Big Bend about ten years ago!

Cat Tail Falls

wish I was there now!

For a number of weeks

starting in August of last year, yes 2017 is now last year, I had to live with my wedding band removed. When I had surgery in August they took it off after I was unconscious. I don't know how, it wouldn't come off after many attempts while I was conscious to the great frustration of all the surgical prep people! And unfortunately my hands became very swollen after surgery and it wouldn't go back on for weeks. I didn't feel right with it off. Its back where my wife put it 39 years ago now. I like that.
