In early March, Martha and I headed out in Starr for 1-1/2 weeks of visiting folks in Santa Fe and Tucson. She was then to fly home while I would continue on for another 2+ weeks of photographic explorations in the SW. And we had a fabulous time catching up with Berkeley & Marie & Santa Fe’s art scene, followed by a lovely time with family & friends in Tucson. But the covid-19 pandemic worsened the entire time — so, when it came time to separate, we instead decided to drive straight back to Bend together. Obviously that was the right decision!

We did visit a few great locations on the various legs of the trip: Canyonlands’ Island in the Sky, Canyon de Chelley, Gila Cliff Dwellings Nat’l Monument, and Ha Ho No Geh Canyon.
