Blue bonnets are a common sight in Texas, but they also more rarely occur in colors other than blue. This was first time I saw red blue bonnets.

Outside of Eureka, Utah, the Tintic Standard Reduction Mill is a fascinating set of ruins. The mill sits abandoned and is a very dangerous place to explore, so be sure to stay back if you pass by. This picture was taken from a safe distance behind the fences warning of the dangers of the site. The mill was used to process silver ore from the mines in the area. The mill only operated for five years, but left the soil and water poisoned with led and arsenic.

This door is to a small outbuilding kitchen originally owned by my second-great-grandfather, Michael Barclay. Grandpa Barclay had a hard life after losing his wife and sustaining a work injury leaving him unable to care for his children. He was forced to send his children to board and work for others, and had to sell everything he owned. He finished his life living with his daughter Maggie and husband Brigham Gardner in Spanish Fork, Utah. His last remaining property was this small building which was moved from Provo to Spanish Fork and placed behind the house Grandpa Brigham had built for his precious Maggie. Michael Barclay passed the day after my maternal grandfather Mark Gardner was born in the same house. The building still sits behind the house in Spanish Fork and is now used as a storage shed. The doorknob is original to the building and is a reminder of the hard life of my ancestors.

The Archie Bray Foundation provides an environment that stimulates creative work in ceramics. The Bray is a place that is both a sanctuary and a community. The grounds are scattered with exquisite sculptures nestled among the decrepit remains of the old brick factory and the raw wilderness of the Montana landscape.

This was one of the most amazing night skys I have ever beheld. Standing right outside the door of our AirBnB nestled on a farm outside of Mesa Verde National Park we could clearly see the center of the Milky Way with all this amazing glory.
