....From the Road: Tsankawi ~ Atop the Mesa
http://thoughtsandtravels-vicki.blogspot.com/2011/05/tsankawi-atop-mesa.html
Monday, May 9, 2011. Tsankawi Atop the Mesa. Atop the mesa we enjoyed a wonderful view of the surrounding two canyons and distant mountains, the Jemez mountains on one side and the Sangre de Cristo mountains on the other. The Jemez range was created by volcanic activity a million years ago, the activity that created a giant ash cloud that blanketed the area and eventually formed the soft tuff rock. Rivers carved through the rock leaving the mesas that dot the landscape. I was wondering how the large vill...

....From the Road: Tsankawi 1
http://thoughtsandtravels-vicki.blogspot.com/2011/05/tsankawi-1.html
Monday, May 9, 2011. Tsankawi (sank-ah Wee) was built in the 1400's by the Anasazi Pueblo Indians. In the Tewa language the name means,"village between two canyons at the clump of round sharp cacti.". The first ladder appeared but you can easily avoid climbing it if you prefer to take a short alternate trail up to the top. I was loaded down with camera equipment and chose to go around this ladder! That's my story and I am sticking to it! And a view of the trail to come. Posted by Vicki Reed. Museum of Mo...

....From the Road: Santa Fe or Bust
http://thoughtsandtravels-vicki.blogspot.com/2011/04/santa-fe-or-bust.html
Saturday, April 23, 2011. Santa Fe or Bust. We are not sorry to be leaving this weird spring weather in Wisconsin! We will be heading to Santa Fe, NM via relatives in Ft Worth, Texas and Carlsbad, NM. I will TRY to post images from the road. I shoot mostly black and white film but do have a few digital cameras along so that I can post images in a timely fashion. Tune in daily to see what we have been up to! Posted by Vicki Reed.

....From the Road: Oklahoma
http://thoughtsandtravels-vicki.blogspot.com/2011/04/flooded-field-we-drove-from-missouri.html
Tuesday, April 26, 2011. We drove from Missouri through Oklahoma and then south to Ft. Worth today. The flooding was obvious as we zipped along the interstate and secondary roads. Just emerging crops were underwater as were some low lying farmsteads. We were happy that it was not raining anymore which made driving a lot easier. Tornadoes over night claimed several lives south of us in Arkansas and several others are still missing. Posted by Vicki Reed. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). This blog will i...

....From the Road: Riscky Business
http://thoughtsandtravels-vicki.blogspot.com/2011/04/riscky-business.html
Wednesday, April 27, 2011. Jean, Clatus, Sandy and Buz at Riscky's, Ft Worth. Well, we made it back to Riscky's. For the ribs and pickles. We also had an appetizer of Texas fries which are french fries with onions and Jalapeno peppers. I actually liked the fried pickles and the fries were great,too though my stomach cannot handle very spicy food. (jalapenos). Fried Pickles and Shiner Beer. We waddled out to the car and vowed to eat less tomorrow. We are going to museums and Joe T. Garcia's. Tsankawi Retu...

....From the Road: Museum Day III : Museum of Modern Art Ft Worth
http://thoughtsandtravels-vicki.blogspot.com/2011/04/museum-day-iii-museum-of-modern-art-ft.html
Thursday, April 28, 2011. Museum Day III : Museum of Modern Art Ft Worth. Tree and The Vortex,. Museum of Modern Art, FT. Worth. The favorite of the Museum Day for me, and I think for Alex and Buz, also was the Museum of Modern Art. In front of the museum is the Vortex, a towering metal sculpture that you can walk into. You can create all kinds of fun sounds/noises that reverberate through the structure using your feet, hands or voice and we tried them all! Clatus, Jean, Sue and Alex inside the Vortex.

....From the Road: Tsankawi ~ Going Up
http://thoughtsandtravels-vicki.blogspot.com/2011/05/tsankawi-going-up.html
Monday, May 9, 2011. And decided to take it in baby steps. We soon came upon this steep climb area that was a tight squeeze with the option of climbing a ladder instead. I squeezed through. Buz commented that it probably would be nice to have smaller feet. Something less than his size11 would be a benefit. I was more focused on looking up toward where I was going but I did stop to capture some images looking back and I became aware of the magic of this place. With a great view. Posted by Vicki Reed.

....From the Road: Museum Day, Ft. Worth
http://thoughtsandtravels-vicki.blogspot.com/2011/04/museum-day-ft-worth.html
Thursday, April 28, 2011. Museum Day, Ft. Worth. We met cousin Susan and her daughter Alex at the Amon Carter Museum. To begin our day. I can't remember the last time I had seen Susan and I had never met Alex so this was going to be a wonderful treat to get to know them while enjoying the Texas art scene. Alex,who is 12 is very interested in art and it was a joy to see a young, almost teen so interested in the varied mediums of sculpture, painting,etc. Thomas Cole's , The Course of Empire.
