Feast Your Eyes, Nourish Your Soul

Big Blue
Blue Rider blew into town last weekend and brought his digital camera with him. He kindly allowed me to share some of his Nature Boy discoveries along the highways of America. Blue Rider is my friend, Michael, who travels the highways of America and revels in every magnificent scene he absorbs.

Michael's constant traveling companions are Skittles (forground) and Duffy. Nope, that's not Duffy in the background; it's a local pup coming up to make friends with Skittles. Duffy is the spiritual one, present with Michael and Skittles wherever they travel. Notice how attentive--okay, downright hammy--Skittles is! Micheal sees beauty in barren winter scenes, and imagines the trees greening up in the spring.
Some images are from his drives in Arizona. There is precious little of his home state that Michael hasn't visited, hiked, and photographed. This was from a local trip, a "busman's holiday." Shall we call that truck Little Blue?
Below is a scene from the cab (passenger side, I'm sure) of Big Blue.

















More pictures are coming. Due to my resurgent blog-ignorance, this post is it for now.
