Black tailed jackrabbit!

We went out to cottonwood springs tonight for some camping and deep-
sky observing with our 18" UC obsession telescope. Unfortunately all
the campground spots were full, so we set up in the parking lot. Then
it started clouding up after midnight, so we decided to pack up and
leave. Here I am at the ranger station at the cottonwood entrance by a
neat sign with all the desert animals, including the black tailed
jackrabbit! I like camping, observing, and jackrabbits!

Caterpiller!

Whoa! There is a creature on my face! Don't worry - it is just a
friendly caterpiller. And i will probably take a batg today. We went
to the Santa rosa plateau again today and they are everywhere! I like
caterpiller creatures.

new teacup

Hi everyone - went to starbucks today and got some new mugs for tea
and hot chocolate. There was a really cool cup that was my sized and
it had a cool tree on it, too. I like my new cup.

Hi everyone! Here I am with my new friend, violet. We both have a lot
in common - large ears, an interest in observing, and most importantly
- we are both bunnies! I like my new friend. Especially when violet's
flashes cool lights!

Another rainbow

Hi everyone! Here I am outside our condo complex with another rainbow
in the background. It has been rainy here a lot lately. Rainbows are
rare here because it never rains, so I am excited! I get to observe a
lot of clouds these days:-)

Gondola Ride

Spent the day with Anne, Joe, Amy, Alan, & Jon snowboarding in
mammoth. Here I am riding the gondola up to the top of the mountain.
In the background is the main lodge. That is where Anne and Joe met
almost eleven years ago. I love this place!

Here I am with my new friend, Domo! Don't worry about me - he might
look scary, but he is a gentle creature, like me:-) We have a lot in
common. We are both fluffy, pink, and we love to observe. I like domo.

Carol's place

Hi everyone - went with Anne to get her hair cut this morning. Here I
am outside of the place Anne's stylist, Carol, works in Redlands. It
is another sunny and warm winter day in California. The sunshine is
nice and warm. Too bad I couldn't send some to our family back on
Wisconsin and Chicago - it was -34 degrees there yesterday!

Paul & Angie's place

Here I am at Paul and Angie's place in Carlsbad. Many of the colors match me very well. Here I am sitting on their cool mantle. I like their house - especially their bathroom. They have a really cool sink. We all went to the apple store together and bought Angie a new computer. It was a fun adventure!

Lake Perris

Went to lake perris with Anne today. I got to do some great observing
of the lake and lake creatures while Anne ran around the lake. It was
cold today! Good thing i have a warm coat and some warm sunshine! I
like it here.

Warm sunshine

After a cold night of viewing the night sky with our cool 18" UC
Obsession telescope, we were greeted with some warm sunshine Monday
morning. Here i am with our campsite in the background. We saw all
kinds of cool things - my favorite was Saturn with it's rings edge on.
We called it a night at 3 am and slept in our cool tent. I like
telescopes and camping - even if it is 30 degrees out!

Santa rosa plateau

Hi - went to Santa rosa plateau with anne today for a run and some
observing. It rained a lot earlier this week, so the vernal pools have
filled up. There are all kinds of birds and creatures hanging out
there. Neat high clouds around, too. Kinda reminds me of Wisconsin. I
like this place.

Snow on Box Springs!

Hi world! Here I am on our balcony where I usually do my daily
observing. Would you believe there is snow all over the top of the
mountain? What a beautiful sight! It is so nice outside! Reminds me of
wisconsin....I like mountains and I love snow!

Yuma, AZ

Hi everyone - we went to Yuma today to talk to a gentleman about
purchasing some property he owns in Wisconsin. Here I am at an
inspection stop coming back in to California. We were there for about
five hours... It was a nice cloudy day. It even rained for a little
while. I like rain in the desert.

REI - midwest style



hi all - here I am in Minnesota. we just landed and uncle al, joe, anne, and I went to the REI store here in Minneapolis. it is one of the largest stores in the country - puts the ones in socal to shame! joe made a cool, old fashioned picture of me outside of the store. there were also some squirrel creatures hanging out outside the store. i like squirrel creatures.

bunnies!

Here I am in the Denver airport. As we were walking down the terminal,
we came across a bunch of bunnies representing frontier airlines. What
a nice surprise!

Denver

Going on a quick trip to Wisconsin. Here I am flying into Denver. It
is so white and bright with the mountains in the background you can
hardly see me. You can still see my ears, though.

Mt. Rubidoux

It was pretty hot for a November morning - almost 85! It is nice in
the car in the filtered sunlight.

1,600 miles!

That's a long way to go in a few days. Back home after quite a quick
trip. I don't know what it is about riding in a car all day that makes
me so tired. It sure is nice to kick back in my favorite place and
watch the weather channel all day!

Hoover dam!

Here I am on the last day of our mini-vacation/drive around the
southwest USA. We are driving over the Hoover dam on our way to las
vegas. The water level is pretty low right now. They are building a
HUGE high road to the south of the dam right now. It is almost as
impressive as the dam itself! I like dams.

London bridge is not falling down

hi everyone - we stayed in lake havasu last night. here I am in
downtown lake havasu at the big attraction, the London bridge. it was
originally built in England in 1831 and moved block by block here in
1968. it was about $2.4 million and another $4.5 mil to transport and
rebuilt it. there are cool fishes, minnows, and ducks in the Colorado
river. the town is kinda odd, but bridges are always neat.

bunny cave at the base of a large tree that therese noticed. I wonder
if any other bunnies have lived here?

Palm springs aerial tramway

here I am at the palm springs aerial tramway visitor center. this is a
very neat place! the rocks are large and interesting. the buildings
were built a long time ago, but still look cool and modern. I really
like the font on the sign, too.

here I am at the top of the palm springs aerial tramway. you are not
supposed to feed the wildlife. you can feed me, though! I'm a
domesticated bunny!

day here - 69 degrees with big puffy clouds in the sky. here i am with
cool scatteted sunlight shining on me on the picnic table. clouds are
building and we should have a rain shower tonight. we leave to fly
back to CA tomorrow morning, so I am going to enjoy the weather while
I still can.

our family. just arrived at midway airport in Chicago. here I am by an

"anna banana" when she was little. cool.

waffles and a cool breeze

it is very hot today in riverside! anne and I decided to go up to lake
arrowhead where it was cooler. we also got to drive the A3 on the
curvy mountain roads. but it was still warm...we got a nice spot in
the shade and had some waffles at the Belgium waffle works - yummy!

sedona

here I am on the south side of Sedona with some neat red rocks in the
background. there are several interesting rock formations in the
vicinity. I like it here, but it is extremely hot! there could be some
hardy bunnies that live around here.

spaz juice

we are leaving the meteor crater now and on the way to Sedona. found a
cool beverage called spaz juice with a cool bunny on the can. it is
pretty good - blue raspberry.

Philip Johnson window

here I am outside of the meteor crater visitor center. if you look up
above my ears, you will see a "window" that was specifically designed
by the architect, Philip Johnson. it frames a great view of the
mountain north of flagstaff from the other side. I'll post a picture
from the other side later. Philip Johnson designed a bunch of cool
modern buildings - check out his glass house if you have time. I like
Philip Johnson.
