John Carter of Mars - Night Vision

These were taken from my porch - night shooting on John Carter of Mars, the Disney Pixar film. It is eerie to see this most every night!

Here are some day photos of the moon area they are shooting at

2 New Puppies - Ryleigh and Coco

Last week I acquired from a wonderful lady, Rosie, 2 long haired, AKC registered female chihuahuas. Coco (Chololate' Marie) and Ryleigh (Ryleigh Ann) are 13 weeks old and litter mates. They are adjusting mighty well to the cats and the larger chihuahua, Chico, who is 11 lbs.

Coco weighed in yesterday at 1.7 lbs while Ryleigh topped the scale at 3.2 lbs.

Memorial for Chiquita Sue - Our 6 year old Chihuahua

Wanted to share some pictures of Chiquita who passed away last week due to a brain tumor. She was a cute little dog who thought she wasn't - slept with her head on a pillow most evenings, would scootch around to get blankets up to her neck and spent ten minutes every night at bedtime washing her feet. She never went to bed until I did and if I was at a music gig, or at rehearsal, she would be by the door when I got home. Fetch was her thing..... along with Isaiah, our now 4 year old grandson - she thought he was just the coolest!  Chico, her brother, seems a bit lost...

She was a great little friend, part of our family, and is really missed around here. I found this poem the day she passed at http://www.prouxchihuahuas.com/id62.html
and thought I would share it

For those who have lost a pet...

I stood by your bed last night... I came to have a peep. 

I could see that you'd been crying, and you found it hard to sleep 

I whined to you softly as you brushed away a tear, 

"It's me. I haven't left you. I'm well, I'm fine, I'm here." 

I was close to you at breakfast... I watched you pour your tea. 

You were thinking of the many times your hands reached down to me.

I was with you at my grave today... you tend to it with such care. 

I want to reassure you that I'm not lying there. 

I walked you towards the house as you fumbled for the key. 

I gently put my paw on you... I smiled and said, "its me." 

You looked so very tired as you sank into a chair. 

I tried so hard to let you know that I was sitting there. 

It's wonderful for me to be so near you everyday, 

To say to you with certainty, "I never went away." 

You sat there very quietly, then smiled... I think you knew 

That in the stillness of the evening I was very close to you. 

And when the time is right for you to cross the brief divide, 

I'll rush across to meet you and we'll stand there side by side. 

I have so many things to show you! There's so much for you to see. 

Be patient, live your journey out, then come home to be with me.

UT SR20 Above Bryce National Park

Looking toward Bryce National Park on SR20.
SR20 is a 24 mile road that connects I-15 and Highway 89 above Panguitch, Ut by Bryce National Park. I took these out the car window as my daughter was driving. SR20 is beautiful and much nicer since the state widened it several years ago in some of the most dangerous places.

Southern Utah Ranches in Winter

I make the drive, all 350 miles of it, to Salt Lake several times a year and the one February was in between two snow storms. Southern Utah has received an unusual amount of snow and precipitation this winter. These are three pictures of ranches, 2 above Panguitch,Ut and one on State Road SR20 - a 24 mile road over the top of a mountain between Highway 89 and I-15.

Southern Utah near Bryce Canyon - Deer

Driving on Highway 89 returning from Salt Lake City to the Lake Powell area - this herd of deer were standing by the side of the road and eventually crossed. They did not seem too bothered by the picture taking activities.

Southern Utah Antelope By Bryce National park

Antelope were off the side of Highway 89 between Hatch and Panguitch in Southern Utah right above Bryce Canyon on Tuesday afternoon. Snow in Hatch is pretty crazy - we saw snow up to the door handles on a Blazer in a local parking lot.
