From the Air. The Approach to Billings
Click on photos to enlarge.
Images of the skies between Dallas and Billings. I couldn’t resist sending this many to show the changes. Fascinating. This is about half of the photos I took! Love having a window seat and the lovely young woman I sat next to insisted on trading seats during the approach to Billings so I could see the view.

Bougainvilla: FOTD July 12, 2023
Awaiting yer pic! ( This was the note on the blog Forgottenman had waiting for me to add a photo to today. What a kind act from a dear person. He was correct in supposing I would forget to post in the rush of things so he made it easier for me. I have been running all day. First the drive back to Sheridan from Billings after a night in a hotel there, then an eye appointment, then shopping first for groceries and then for all the makeup I did not bring from Mexico because I only brought a carryon and planned to buy all my makeup and other maintenance “stuff” here in the states. A chat with my friend Patty whom I’m staying with and her guy Duffy and I’m now back in bed. Dr. appt. tomorrow. Rodeo going on across the street. Lots of drum rolls and crowd cheers and odors a la horses!!! But this blog is supposed to be about flowers, so here they are!!!!)
Feeling Blue for Sunday Stills
From my terrace
Because her delight conjured up such memories of the slide in the playground across the street from my childhood home and my own trips down it.
Deep Blue Sea
Berries in the bowl
and on the bush
Because it is the only photo of my sisters and me as adults.
Because it reflects so well the two things I love most about Mexico: the children and the artistry.
Sleeping Over At the Airport
My bed.
My neighbors
More neighbors
It is 7:20 AM and I’ve been in the Guadalajara Airport since 2 AM. My delayed flight leaves at 9 and I’ll spend another 7 hours cooling my heels in Dallas. All in all it will be 20 hours in airports and in the air and I will arrive 8 hours late and a day late at my destination since I’ll arrive too late at night for my sister to drive the hour and a half to the airport to collect me, and so I will need to spend a night in a hotel. Oh the glories of modern travel. Since my pickup was at 1 AM for the hour trip to the airport , I didn’t go to sleep at all last night and I have had one hour’s sleep on a couch in the VIP lounge which they gave me a pass to. Better than the hundreds of people sleeping on the floor in the ticketing area. Wonder what is up? Heavy rain all the way from San Juan to Guadalajara, so perhaps that has grounded planes.
