Photos Used In This Blog

Many of the photos I use in this blog will be made using my smartphone and others with my DSLR camera. I hope you will not mind me posting with the smartphone since we can do it while we are on the move and from any location where we have phone service. I think the smartphone photos will be of lower quality so I hope you will understand.

Sunday.. Feeling Lots Better on to Petrified Forest National Park

Thanks for the nice comments and well wishes related to me not feeling well. I am feeling much better today and tonight. Thanks to Kim, the nurse practitioner I see, for sending me off with a prescription of Azithromycin for this trip. I was feeling well enough that we went to Petrified Forest National Park and The Painted Desert today. I think that antibiotic must work miracles. I am not now running a temperature. I was actually getting pretty concerned myself fearing that it could lead to pneumonia. The problem is not gone yet but much better.

Just a mention of the problem I had with my phone and the SIM card..... A couple of times today, I got the error that the SIM card could not be found. I guess the problem is not fixed long term. I got it going again by turning it off and back on a couple of times.

Tonight we are about 50 miles west of Albuquerque, NM. It is much warmer here than places we have been in the past few weeks. It is warm but comfortable.

Below are photos I made in Petrified Forest National Park and The Painted Desert. Immediately below is a photo of a petrified tree. Some of the area reminded me of Bad Lands National Park where we were earlier in the trip.
