Before we get to my weekend in New Orleans, some more good news: I just won a New York Institute of Photography travel photography course! Woohoo! Which is exactly what I shouted when I saw my name on the website. I didn’t at all expect to win since there were so many entries, but there you are. The unexpected certainly does happen.

New Orleans
Sunset Crater Volcano
Flagstaff, AZ is at the epicenter of National Park goodness because, you know, the Grand Canyon, but there are also beautiful ruins at Wupatki, and down the road there’s a 900-year-old volcanic crater.
Taos Snowpocalypse
I thought I’d give you a break from National Parks (but who ever needs one? Not me!) and share a few photos from the recent snowpocalypse in Taos.
Wupatki
It’s pronounced Wuh-pot-key, and I’m thinking there’s some sort of joke there about legalized marijuana, but it’s escaping me at the moment.
Validation and a Really Nice Belt
The magazine came out, so now I can say which contest I placed in (the one I mentioned last week).
News and Ruins
New products! I’m now selling greeting cards six to a box, with a mix of color and black & white, for $19.95 plus shipping. Email me to place your order.
Winner
Funerals bring up other feelings in addition to sadness.
Nebraska
I’m back from Grandma’s funeral, which was beautiful. All the kind wishes, shared stories, and outpouring of love showed just what an impact she had not only on her family, but on the community.
Going Home
My grandma, my mother’s mother and my last living grandparent, died yesterday. She was 93 and passed on peacefully in bed after a good, long life. (This, after my friend’s death last week. Sad.)
As If I Needed To Prove My Motto
It’s been a rough week.
