About Me

My photo
I retired from the Auto Industry in the Detroit area and now make my home in sunny Arizona. I enjoy travel and photography. Although I often think of my photography as serendipitous; I really direct myself to places where those pleasant surprises are likely to occur. When I travel I call myself the "Happy Wanderer".

Prescott Trip -- March 24

Last weekend was my birthday.  We decided to travel to Prescott, AZ for a little relaxation and sightseeing. We stayed at the Prescott Resort, a nice hotel on a hill overlooking Prescott.  The hotel is joined with Bucky's Casino.  I thought I'd get lucky on my birthday, but the results were the same as always -- the house wins.

The weather was beautiful.  It had snowed the week before, so there was still a bit of snow on the surrounding hills.  The lakes were filled with water and the scenery was superb.

What nice photos and I like that you're blogging now. The Granite Dells are fascinating and, since you threw in a lake, I should be able to get my sweet husband in the mood for a road trip.
