Firing up the engines

Debbie (Lotta Tidbits) and I (Oly) just arrived back at our casa in L.B. after a 3 month, 8000 mile R.V. wander following birds throughout most of the states west of and including Arkansas. As many of you know from blogs I post on our web-site, Debbie was faced with her ovarian cancer tumors waking up and growing fast after being pretty stable for over 11 years. My darling Debbie qualified for a new drug administered by means of a clinical trial at a Palo-Alto clinic in Santa Cruz, Ca. To make a very long story shorter, she has now been "stable" for 14 months after starting the new, oral, chemo.
We've never let cancer run our lives so off we went on a most challenging journey. Debbie and I had to return to Santa Cruz every 28 days so we flew back and forth from the R.V. to Santa Cruz. We saw birds with an attitude, like this Curve-billed Thrasher-[url=https://flic.kr/p/NAXtZa]
We saw birds that seemed to pose for us, like this Golden Fronted Woodpecker-[url=https://flic.kr/p/MD8bcG]
And birds that could be happy just singing all day long like this Eastern Meadowlark--[url=https://flic.kr/p/NqCNT7]
Now we're finishing putting out all the little fires that started while we were away and firing up our camera "engines" to once again share the Birds We See in Baja.
