Friends in the desert

We had several play days in a row this weekend, and I am just now starting to add posts and pictures.  As I sit at the computer, the day is grey (with an "e") and rainy, but five days ago, it was sunny and light.  With a fellow NIU alumni (Adult Education, 1976, as I am, also), Michael, and Mark (Safety Engineering, also NIU, '76), we went to Catalina State Park.  More "nature" photos will be added to my AnitaWrites blog tomorrow ( http://anitawritesforyou.blogspot.com ), but here are Michael and me, friends in the desert.
