A man and his African Grey were sketching…

One of the characteristic black trees of Coffeyville, KS And now we’re here. The mountains actually managed to catch me off guard. I was taking a picture of something off to our north and Heather let out a little “oh!” and I looked forward and there it was! Pike’s Peak was the first thing visible…

So – I have a LOT of photographs from the State Fair of Texas – and I’ve been trying to figure out the best narrative – so let’s start with the reason why we were going – my cousin Rachael, and her husband Clint – have the award for best tasting fried thing at the…
