"It's a lifestyle"

 My collection of trucker bone portraits, including my own. I will keep adding to the collection as I encounter more





"Lately It occurs to me what a long strange trip it's been"


I have a girlfriend who has just embarked on her van life adventure dream. I've been telling her for years when she gets out here , she will find me. We met up in Joplin Missouri and she took these pictures.

We gypsies always find each other.

Song of the Night

 A favorite piece by Gustav Holst

He expresses the space made apparent by darkness, the space for emotion in darkness, so poignantly in the musical phrasing.

44. New Mexican vista.


 Carlito Springs, 1.75 mile trail just east of Albuquerque : Elevation: 7000 feet













Petroglyph National Monument, just west of Albuquerque 
















My sewing studio packed up in the truck 

My sewing studio unpacked into unit H67. I think this is auspicious because the last time I rented a storage unit to sew in was unit H7


The company I work for has a terminal in Albuquerqe, so now I have a little low rent base of operations and some more creative space to operate in.  I plan to spend the winter avoiding bad weather up north, going back and forth between my house in Georgia and New Mexico. I would like to explore the northern part of the state for a place I might like to live. If I find such a place in the spring I can bring my car down from seattle. If I don't find such a place Ican always pack all my stuff back up in the truck and take it back to my house. 
This picture of my guardian angel in the sunset was taken at the southern end of the Sacramento mountain range, Apache territory
