Lake Mead getting a little more juice

Our favorite little cave

The rocks tumbled just right to make a perfect little shelter here. We love it, cause it's out of the wind, and the afternoon sun heats the rocks up, so it's like a little heated room when you go in after sunset.

Hugging rocks during a scramble

Isn't quite as easy as it used to be...

(for the record, Steve took this picture for dramatic effect; I wasn't really climbing where I shouldn't with an extra 20 lbs poking out in front to balance)

Sportin our own boulder these days

This is MY glamour shot from Red Rock...

Little different from the red dress girl, but bet I had more fun :-)

WOA, nelly!

And then THIS picture, to show that there's a whole lot that's different from 6 months ago!

Speaking of things that take some getting used to...

Steve took this picture of me tonight to remind me that from certain angles, I still look like the same person I did 6 months ago...

Some things take a little longer to get used to...

Steve and I went out to dinner tonight, but we had to make a big ole U-Turn in the middle of the road when I spotted this tree. This is a block from our house. I remember, as a child, setting off Cherry bombs at dusk to scare starlings out of Gramma's tree. That seemed normal. I'm not sure I have the kahunas to try and scare a bunch of peacocks out of the tree. I KNOW I don't have the nerve to stand under this tree at dusk... I'm sure there will be bombing, but the gooey, gloppy kind, initiated by the birds at the target on my head.
