Day 14 of the February Photoblogging Challenge: Compassion.
I struggled to get a photo for this one. I ended up having the kids pose for me as the sun was setting by Joshua Tree, CA.
We did the Titanic Room at Escape Room Palm Springs today. They isolate everyone so it’s as safe as can be. It was a fun room, it not a bit easy. We finished in 44 min 29 sec and didn’t ask for any clues!
This frame they had on the wall made me chuckle. Room 33!
We followed this DIY Modern Architecture Tour of Palm Springs today. One of the stops was Elvis Presley’s Honeymoon Hideaway. It was under construction but I got a picture over the fence. So many amazing houses in Palm Springs.

I find wind generators mesmerizing. 🌬
Happy Valentines Day! My daughter crafted these amazing Valentines cards for us.
The morning view from the Art Loft Airbnb in Joshua Tree, California. Inspiring.
The Cholla Cactus Garden at Joshua Tree National Park. They are pretty but hazardous to touch. Keep your distance.
Joshua Tree.
Heading to Joshua Tree National Park for a couple of days. 4h 30m drive. 👍
It is amazing how long it takes to just get out of Phoenix!
Day 12 of the February Photoblogging Challenge: Sporg.
A group gathered to watch and attempt to sporg a frisbee off the roof.
It was Tyler’s birthday today and we decided to get a really cool Minecraft themed cake to celebrate. Lesley’s Creative Cakes did an amazing job on this creation!
It was a little confusing to figure out how to cut into it, but the main cube was delicious Red Velvet cake.
There was plenty of cake. Cake decorators probably know this but I was surprised that the more decorative blocks were actually Rice Krispie bars.
Most importantly Tyler loved it!
Tyler got Mario Kart Live for his birthday and we’ve already had a ton of fun playing it. We setup a couple of quick tracks and it is really fun to have a game that is played both in front of you and on the Nintendo Switch.
Day 11 of the February Photoblogging Challenge: Machine.
This new M1 MacBook Pro is an incredible machine.
Day 9 of the February Photoblogging Challenge: Mudy.
While visiting the Salt River wild horses today I noticed this horse that had been having some time in the mud recently.
Salt River Wild Horses
Today we visited Coon Bluff Recreation Area to see the Salt River wild horses. The non-profit Salt River Wild Horse Management group helps provide for these wild horses, and they are currently putting out hay for them each day. You can visit while they do this and walk among these wild horses but you need to be slow and calm, and keep your distance. The horses themselves were skirmishing a bit. It gets your attention when twenty horses start stirring and running around you. I brought the good camera with a long lens to catch some photos of these beautiful horses.
Day 8 of the February Photoblogging Challenge: Hope.
This is the first Saguaro cactus flower, arriving over a month early, showing hope for another spring.
Saguaro National Park
We visited Saguaro National Park today. We didn’t have a ton of time so we only (and accidentally actually) went to the East park. We did a quick hike but it was our second hike of the day so we didn’t go too far. It looked like an incredible set of trails for hiking and the loop road was very popular with cyclists.
