The Micro.blog challenge word for day 14 is “statue”. Without a doubt the most ambitious statue/monument we’ve seen is Crazy Horse, started by one guy 1948, and still far from finished. Here’s a model of the finished product, and the current state in the background. 📷 #mbsept
The Micro.blog challenge word for day 13 is “glowing”. We’re looking forward to attending the Albuquerque Balloon Fiesta again next month (hopefully with better weather this year!). A fun feature is the morning glow, where they light up balloons in the pre-dawn dark. 📷🎈 #mbsept
The Micro.blog challenge word for day 12 is “panic”. We have a “Don’t Panic” sticker on the back our our motorhome. The sticker comes from The Hitch-Hiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, so seemed double-appropriate for full-time travelers. 📷 #mbsept
The Micro.blog challenge word for day 11 is “retrospect”. When people think in retrospect of famous US battles, the Alamo is often one of the critical turning points, despite (or rather due to) being an epic loss. “Remember the Alamo!” 📷 #mbsept
The Micro.blog challenge word for day 10 is “cycle”. An obvious choice for this word would be our bikes, but no, let’s go in another direction: the six deep cycle AGM batteries for the house side of our motorhome. 📷 #mbsept
The Micro.blog challenge word for day 9 is “language”. The sign says “In the Tolowa language, naa-yvslh-sri~ means ‘to make it right again.’ The actions we each take during our visit today can help make the forest right again”. 📷🌲 #mbsept
The Micro.blog challenge word for day 8 is “yonder”, suggested by my wife, @jidabug. Here’s a herd of bison in Custer State Park in South Dakota, with more off yonder to left and right. 📷 #mbsept
The Micro.blog challenge word for day 7 is “panorama” (my suggestion). Ever since Apple announced the Vision Pro headset, I’ve been taking more panorama photos, so I’ll eventually be able to surround myself with them. Here’s one of the Grand Canyon of Yellowstone. 📷 #mbsept
The Micro.blog challenge word for day 6 is “well”. We were fascinated to visit the ancient Montezuma Well in Rimrock, Arizona. 📷 #mbsept
The Micro.blog challenge word for day 5 is “forest”. Avenue of the Giants in Miranda, California was one of our favorite forest walks. 📷 #mbsept
