No apologies necessary @Livelife ! Just arrived in Denver. Flight was a little bumpy the first hour or so, but smoothed out just fine...have a couple hours to kill before the puddle jumper to MAF! I will arrive at the Chisos bungalow fairly late, but up early tomorrow for a sunrise hike to the South Rim 🌄 Thank you for the well wishes! Hope you are enjoying your weekend 😊

After ten glorious days in BBNP, I am home sweet home...Though it is always sad to leave this mystical place, it is nice to be home with my son and furry little troublemaker of a cat 🐈.

Here's a few pictures

The South Rim of the Chisos mountains

Balanced Rock at Grapevine Hills, just before sunrise

View from my balcony...Toll Mountain 🏔️

Rio Grande at the mouth of Boquillas Canyon....Texas, USA on the left..Chihuahua, Mexico on the right..

"You go south from Fort Davis Until you come to the place where rainbows wait for rain.... And the river is kept in a stone box...and water runs uphill.

And the mountains float in the air.

Except at night, when they run away to play With other mountains." - anonymous Mexican vaquero (cowboy), describing directions to Big Bend


More pictures to come...

Love the frog. Is that a moon in the Santa Elena sunrise picture?

Those are great the wildlife and scenery is beautiful. I love the roadrunner and hope that he doesn't run into a side of a mountain that a coyote using ACME products has a tunnel painted on it.

Yes, I was able to catch a warning gibbous 🌔 as the sun was rising!

I am so jealous seeing all these pics I went on holidays every year as a kid but only in the UK went to Skegness loved going to the arcades back then never left been outside the Uk till I was 30 and I went to Rome being a massive ancient Rome fan I had to see it at least once

Since then I have not been on a holiday at all would love to get a cabin some where say BC Canada and just spend a few weeks in peace

I hope he smiles proudly as he pats you on the head letting you know he’s still growing! 😂.
High School…. he will be driving before you know it!
