Another long spell with no entries. With all the various social media and photography sites it's difficult to remember what I've posted, where and when. ;-)

Google+ seems to really be taking off, I've had over 9000 people circle me there and over 1000 on my Stalking Light G+ page. I've had my FB page much longer and 550 'likes' there. Then of course there are 500px and flickr.

I've been planning out my spring southwest trip and it's shaping up to be a nice one. We'll head out driving a bit of the Natchez Trace, then on to Big Bend and White Sands. After that we'll stop in Tempe for a couple of days before heading up to the Mojave and then Death Valley. From there on to southern Utah to visit Zion and then to see the backcountry sites around Kanab and Page before wandering up to Cedar Mesa and maybe Escalante, Capitol Reef, etc. on the way to Moab.

I put in for a Coyote Buttes North permit via lottery and will try and get a permit for Coyote Buttes South when they come available online in January. We also want to visit White Pocket at the same time. It's going to be a fun trip.

Hope everyone had a nice thanksgiving and is having fun getting ready for the holidays. We have finished our shopping for our 'adopted' family and filled a couple of stockings for some 'elderly' women; generally the 'elderly' folks in need are actually younger than we are but we really enjoy shopping for them.

Here's a belated Thanksgiving shot:
