The first quarter of the year offered us a visit to Tevya and Noah, a giant Moon, and a visit to Arizona.

We visited Karl and Marlene in January. Patricia, Linda, and Marlene reviewing old photos.

We did not have much snow this year so even in February things are looking dry.

The New Mexico blue sky--Spring version

Here are some pictures of the full moon in March. The moon was nearer to the earth at this time than in 20 years. It was called a "super perigee moon".

The moon created a silhoutte of the trees on the hills near Santa Fe.

The moon was very bright and I don't kow enough about my camera to reduce the glare.

A harbinger of Spring

Towards the end of March we made a visit to Tevya and Noah.

Noah is pretty good with these kid-style chopsticks.

The second quarter of the year gave me a chance to visit Belvidere to see my parents and siblings, our first SAR trip of the year to see petroglyphs, a visit from Kate and Abby, the first public bronze pour at IAIA, the IAIA powwow, and fires, fires, fires.
