Lighthouse beach,Chatham, MA

Howdee all,

July 4th Jeff and I went for a walk on Lighthouse beach.

It was a beautiful evening

Soft clouds ..

We went looking for a few birdsWe walked from the ocean side to the bay Bayside  Mudflats.. We saw a few birdies…   Not many photos of birds…they were a bit too far for my baby camera to reach…

I did take allot of landscape photos…What I enjoyed most that night was being in nature.. Enjoying the changes in the night sky…   The gulls glowing in the setting sun…Distant gull photos.. I kinda like the soft out of focus painting effect.

Sunset photos …next post.

Chatham, MA… 4th of July parade

Howdee all,

I hope you all had a wonderful 4th of July.

While in Chatham..I like taking a morning walk to pick up a coffee and scone.

This particular morning we found the streets lined with empty chairs.

I don't know what time people started to bring them ..we were in town around eight.

The parade started at nine thirty. The chairs were no longer empty when we came back into town.

    Let the parade begin!

Burros@ Red rock Canyon, Calico Basin,Vegas

Howdee all,

A few forgotten photos…

Taken this past winter in one of our favorite place to hike and take in the Red rocks.

Right outside of the city limits of Las Vegas.

Red Rock Canyon.

“Burros evolved in the deserts of northern Africa where the average rainfall is about two inches a year. Two populations of burros from northern Africa that were separated from each other by natural barriers are attributed with being the ancestors of today's feral burro in the American southwest. These are the Nubian and the Somalian. The Nubian's characteristics are a black stripe across the shoulders and another down the middle of the back giving the appearance of a cross when viewed from above. The Somalian has leg stripes on both front and hind legs resembling a zebra's markings. These characteristic differences may be seen in the numerous individual burros which freely roam Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area.”   These are the Nubians..”Early explorers brought both horses and burros to the New World. Some of these animals were released or escaped to the deserts of the southwestern United States and Mexico. With the discovery of more gold and silver in the 1800's, miners brought more burros with them. These animals added to the small early populations and began to breed and increase in numbers. At one time more than 10,000 wild burros were found in California, Arizona, and Nevada. Today there are about 7,000 burros in this region.””Burros have only two natural predators. The mountain lion preys on all burros. The coyote usually preys on the young, very old, crippled or sick animals as nature's way of maintaining a healthy population. With today's reduced number of mountain lions, there are few natural predators to check the growth of wild burro populations. “ 

“Wild burros can be domesticated. When burros are removed from the Red Rock Canyon area, they are adopted by individuals through the BLM's adoption program. If you are interested in the Bureau's wild horse and burro management efforts or you wish to adopt a wild horse or burro, please contact:”

Howdee all,

Went to my first Adam Lambert Concert last night with some of my family.

I thought he was great when on American Idol.

I love him even more after last nights concert.

Wow..what a performer…not to mention his vocal range.

He sells out most venues he goes to..this was no exception..

The crowd loves him!

My sicsksta called to get tickets as soon as they were available..and still we were sitting way up on the balcony..

It didn't matter to me..he was Awesome.

So… enjoy the video clips below…

Sorry about the poor video quality..I had my little point and shoot and we were quite far away…

Still…I think you will enjoy…turn up the volume..
