Doc Perry's office, which is cool because it's obviously a log cabin. But if you have to drive to your appointment you better find somewhere else to park because this space is for the doc and his staff. Ketchum, Idaho; August, 2014.

Although Notre Dame and Saint Chapelle get most of the attention, there are many gorgeous Gothic cathedrals in the city, such as this one: Saint Eustache. Paris, France; September, 2015.

This time of year the weather can be rather transient--sunny one moment, raining the next, or somewhere in-between, as it was in this pic with a very wide rainbow. (Click the photo for a better view). Crooked River Ranch, Oregon; October, 2015.

Although officially we're retired, we still do volunteer work, most recently with the Central Oregon Veteran's ranch, which works PTSD vets by providing a safe haven for healing. Autumn isn't bad there either, as this photo attests. Near Bend, Oregon; October, 2015.

The San Rafael Reef is a 30-mile long standstone wall barrier at the eastern edge of nowhere. For centuries, only the most intrepid travels found their way through its narrow slot canyons and into the forbidding landscape of the San Rafael Swell. Early Spanish explorers detoured 20 miles north to avoid this wall. Now, Interstate 80 runs right through it. On Interstate 70 near Spotted Wolf, Utah; May, 2015.

Canned: a variety of cans from yesteryear sits atop the deck at the general store. Fort Rock, Oregon; June, 2015.

Saint Chapelle is one of the most impressive gothic churches on the planet. The street level is where the common folk worshipped, but here on the top floor is where the king, queen, and other royalty worshipped.
