Tucked into a bend of the river
the Rio Grande Nature Center is
one of my favorite places in Albuquerque.
I try to visit each time I am in town.
Tucked into the side of the trail,
one late October day,
amid some dying weeds and some decaying trees,
delicate purple flowers appear.
I don’t know how or when I discovered this special spot,
but I suspect that my special friends Gladys and J.C.
had something to do with it.

in various stages of growth.

No time machine here,
simply found the time to sort
through folders where additional pictures
were discovered.
While visiting Eric,
during the days he attended
Hawai’i Pacific University,
when he went to class,
I took the opportunity to visit the zoo.

Delicate, tiny petals
create a field of purple.

The journey through
Rocky Mountain National Park
continued.
At some point,
I learned that
National Park Rangers
enforce the speed limit.
But he was nice
and allowed a warning
to suffice.
This may have been before,
it may have been after;
for certain it is
a different spot in the park
and
a different shade of purple.
See you along the Trail.

During the summer of 2011,
I spent a couple of days in Rocky Mountain National Park
where I found many purple flowers –
even if I don’t know their names.
Several photos from that trip will follow over the next couple weeks.
See you along the Trail.

Riverside Discovery Center and Zoo
Scottsbluff, Nebraska
6 September 2010
The 2010 Great Plains Tour made its way through Nebraska.
There we paused to visit the small zoo in Scottsbluff.
Never did figure out why the town is called Scottsbluff
and the National Monument is called Scotts Bluff.
Of course I never tried.
See you along the Trail.
