Pocca's first long road trip

Our little black kitty, Pocca, had only made one trip previous to our 2015 trip to Albuquerque.  His initial trip was when we moved from California to Idaho, and that trip was in a kitty carrier.  We decided to fit him with a harness and leash and give him more freedom in our pickup.  He soon discovered the best seat in our truck was on the dashboard where he had a great view out the windshield.

Our adventure begins

Our adventure began with our trip from Idaho to Albuquerque.  It was late  May of 2015, and the desert flowers were in bloom.  We spent the night in Moab, Utah, and then early the next morning headed south on U.S. Route 491.  We cut through the mountains.  Check out this photo as we headed to Monticello, Utah and Cortez, Colorado.

Welcome to our blog.

New Mexico is famous for it's balloon festival.

Margaret and I spent the summer of 2015 in Albuquerque, New Mexico, where I was attending a ten week course at the Hypnotherapy Academy of America.  Margaret had been suffering from respiratory problems.  Her health improved so dramatically while there that we decided to sell our home in Rexburg, Idaho and move to New Mexico. 

We took many pictures travelling to and from New Mexico and thought others might enjoy sharing our adventures.  Our goal is to visit as many state and federal parks and other locations as possible.  We will post some of the photos we took.  Included will be plants, animals, birds, lizards, and occasionally insects, and we’ll include the locations where the photos were taken. 

We will attempt to identify as many species as possible.  We welcome comments and help with identification.  Please keep in mind that I am not more than an amateur photographer, and even though I have a background in science, I do not claim to be an expert at identifying all the flora and fauna I post.
