Waving at the trees

This was a picture that I actually took the other day from my front yard. It was when there were some storms coming but, at first glance, it sort of looks like waves coming over our trees. Takes me back to my summer family vacations when we would visit my grandparents out in San Diego.

Grand Canyon

Having gone through so many of my dad’s slides from back when I was a kid, this is definitely one of my favorites. Over the years we use to go visit my grandparents when they lived in San Diego, stopping at places along the way like the Grand Canyon.

I just love the view. Thanks dad!

American Buffalo

So tonight I decided to turn on PBS when I came across a special about the Ken Burns movie entitled The American Buffalo. I suppose I knew their story to some degree but, then I started to think about our family vacations out west to my grandparents in San Diego.

Every so often we would come across a buffalo, usually on the other side of a fence and I think it would be safe to say that I felt sad for those animals. I think I can also say I felt some sort of connection to them. Somewhere in this box of slides I have sitting here from my mom’s, I believe I have a picture of one. When I come across it again, I’ll post it. They’re simply beautiful animals.

Two of them

So it’s been one of those days. One that lasted way too long and I haven’t gotten a lot done. There’s also still a lot ahead but I also know it’ll be a quiet weekend. Just like our time in Minnesota, which is where this picture comes from, quiet time with two of my kids.
