The Last Town

Williams suffered after being bypassed by the interstate for many years but is a very busy tourist town now.

Good Advice

Bird Cage Saloon

The Bird Cage Saloon will soon have a new home on Whiskey Row in Prescott, just a few doors down from where a fire destroyed the old building. I'll get another picture when it's open.

Road Trip

Williams Arizona is about 70 miles northeast of Prescott. The sign says Gateway To The Grand Canyon. Williams is where the depot for the Grand Canyon Railway is located.           

  

This sign is in a little park as you come into town from the west.

In The Alley

An old door in the alley looks like it isn't used anymore. 

Waiting For Feeding Time

Changing Seasons

When I was young, I didn't pay much attention to the changing seasons. While balancing work and kids and keeping up with the house, there wasn't much time for seasons. Now that I am older and have less to occupy  myself, the changing of the seasons intrigues me. In the mornings I watch to see just where the sun will rise through my east facing windows and I know exactly where it will rise on the morning of the equinox. It's right about that time when less subtle changes start to occur, like the blooming of all the flowering trees in the Spring. Only a few days ago there was snow and frost clinging to the trees. But this tree is white with flowers and sweet fragrance is filling the evening air. This is Spring.

It was a training day for police dogs but the dogs just thought it was fun.

It was nice to have a telephoto lens for this shot because there was no fence between us.

Living the good life in the Dells.

Campfire In The Dells

A couple weeks ago we were at a retirement gathering at Storm Ranch in Prescott.  

I took lots of pictures there and I'll be posting some of them over the next few days.

The cute little calf in the picture 

I posted yesterday was here too. 

Beautiful Baby Bovine

Kids On A Rock #2

I took a telephoto shot of the two kids on the rock from yesterdays picture. 

Don't they look like they are having fun?

A warm winter day at Fain Park

Yellow House

Close up view of one house in Victorian Estates subdivision from yesterdays post.

I took this a couple of weeks ago when there was still snow. Since then we have had warmer weather. 

Victorian Estates

A housing subdivision between Prescott and Prescott Valley.

I will show a close up of one of the houses tomorrow. 

On The Corner

This is that cute, little, old house on the corner that will be familiar to "Prescottonians". 

In The Dells

It's hard to believe that this scene is inside the city limits of Prescott.

Cold Gold

It isn't unusual to see someone panning for gold along Lynx Creek in the summer but this fellow was braving the cold of February, panning for gold in the ice and snow.

American Kestrel

Also known as a Sparrow Hawk, the American Kestrel is a small falcon with bright colors. This one frequents our yard, looking for lunch.

Let Me Out!

Either someone is trying to get out of the trunk or someone has  a fun sense of humor.

Pyramid Reflections

Fain Park, along Lynx Creek 

Hotel Doors

There is a bright reflection in the glass on the doors of the side entrance to the Hotel St. Michael. I wanted to show those great lights on each side of the doors.
