A Million Little Pieces Of My Mind

It's time for our last visit to Keith's family in Shiprock, at least, the last before we move to Hawaii. This trip was punctuated by a gorgeous full moon, plus a drive back through a snowy landscape.

This photo was taken the night before we left, from our porch in Mesa. (With a phone camera. !)

It's about a six-hour drive to Shiprock from Mesa. As we approached, the Moon stayed with us.

After arriving in Shiprock and settling in, I went outside for a smoke and there was that old Moon again.

It being winter, the few trees remaining between the mobile home and the road are bare, leaving a clear view of the Shiprock itself.

The next night, the moon rose over the hill behind the mobile home.

Finally it was time to return home. We knew it had snowed along our return route the night before, but didn't know how much it might impact our journey. Fortunately, the roads had been completely cleared by the time we got to them, so all we had to contend with were breathtaking views.

Finally we descended from the Mogollon Rim down to warmer climes.

As expected, we got home about sunset.
