Dreams, Moments, Travels
Caroline and her mom went to Saturday’s scheduled Arizona Desert Weavers and Spinners Guild meeting. Over the last decade, Jutta has joined Caroline for various workshops, meetings, and classes across the Phoenix area. Along the way she even learned how to make her very own Navajo rug.
That’s Jutta way in the back hanging out just being one of the members.
Like the days and years ahead, there are things that cannot be seen until they present themselves. There’s a lot of work that goes on behind the scenes, behind the curtain, and within the mind when magic is being manifested. We are aware that this is the year when a new reality is going to unfold, a place familiar yet different; it is popularly known as Virtual Reality. With this reinterpretation of our brave new world, the doors of perception will surely be knocked from their hinges. This new food of the gods is being built using the very electrons that manifest and alter our reality; we are the engineers of tomorrow and a billion futures. Happy New Year, world.
Out in the middle of nowhere on our way back to Phoenix, Arizona. Besides the fact that there are no services for the next 57 miles or 92km which is unheard of in Germany, where Jutta is returning to in just four days, it was the sign about the prohibition of sheep and goats that caught our eye. Happy New Year, and welcome to 2014.
We are in Death Valley National Park on the last day of the year. With Jutta having been here a couple of other times, we decided to take her into a corner she hadn’t visited yet, nor had we.
To get to our surprise location, we had to head to the west side of the park and find the Emigrant Canyon Road turnoff.
Our route took us right into the snowline on this beautiful blue sky day.
We are at the Wildrose Charcoal Kilns that are now long out of use, but back in the late 1800s they were busy at work making charcoal for the miners in the area.
Our views were spectacular up here, affording Jutta sights of Death Valley that few take the time to see. From way up here, we needed to way back down there as Caroline needed to get to the visitors center before they closed so she could be sworn in for her newest Junior Ranger badge.
With a stroll down a boardwalk in Death Valley, we closed out 2013.
There are times when capturing photos becomes secondary to getting to a place, especially when leaving later in the day.
We were heading into the California desert with Jutta to her second favorite place in America, Death Valley.
The last photo of Caroline and her mom at the Grand Canyon and while sad on one hand, there are a thousand incredible memories shared here at the edge of this vast place of wonder.
