Funny you should ask. Okay, I'm the one who asked the question. Well, I'll answer it. I've been through the state of AZ from May until now, with a month long side trip into California, then back into Arizona after the holidays and now we're heading back to California, where the Sequoia National Forest is calling my name. Yup! I've got the itch to head into SoCal, as the folks here call it. And now, I'll do a simple year in review of my travels. Below are a few snapshots of where Rochelle, the Green Queen (our camper van) and I have been over the months. Enjoy! We left the Flagstaff area early October as it was just getting too cold. Flagstaff is where I left off with my blogging months ago photographing mushrooms. By the way, I have a book coming out hopefully this year of that photographic "shroomin" journey. We awoke on our last morning in Flagstaff with freezing rain stuck to our tent. We left for Sedona, AZ's red rock country. Gorgeous! https://mapsengine.google.com/map/edit?mid=zsA1410qUm_E.kurhfYgYqCgQ More astounding red rocks off a back road in Sedona. Our campsite overlooking some Sedona red rocks. Rochelle and I's shadows taking a hike near Cottonwood, AZ. What our shadows saw on that rather remarkably golden trail! A nice little side trip into Jerome, AZ. Jerome is a famous little mountain town about a 20 minute's drive from Cottonwood. There's my baby girl, Rochelle Claire. She's starting to grow her fur back for the winter season. We made our way south to Camp Verde to visit Montezuma's Well for an hour. Yours truly outside of Montezuma's Castle. So, now where's Natureglo now?.... you may ask this time! Well, now, I'll be getting to that soon. To be continued!

Thanks, Peggy! Gosh, I hope I can get the shrooms book out soon too! I thought I was so close to being ready to publish it last August, and then, I realized that there's a Mac/Windows issue with links not being live on Macs PowerPoint for word. Yada, yada, yada....Anyways, I will have to revamp things and put all the links on my website instead of in the book before I can finally publish it. It's mainly a simple, yet, what I think, profound appreciation for fungi. I found a lot of fun stuff in the AZ mountains last summer!

Indeed, I am, Anne! I'm loving it out here. Gosh! I've really left my readers hanging far too long. It's tough with work keeping up with blogging too, but, I'm at Sequoia National Forest in CA right now. More, I hope very soon!

Yes, I remember you and Biscotti. I'm glad you've found my blog too. I've begun to be more active with it. I am enjoying the jacket too. I'll use it for only special occasions since it's the nicest of all my jackets. But, haven't needed a jacket in oh so long as the weather has been perfect! Even in the higher elevations! I wish you and Biscotti well in your travels!
