A male Lesser finch...I take videos of the finches bathing in this fountain. 8-8-10 Joy-Vernon	We drove to Albuquerque today on Hwy. 60. This is The Very Large Array, one of the world's premier astronomical radio observatories. It consists of 27 radio antennas in a Y-shaped configuration on the Plains of San Agustin fifty miles west of Socorro, New Mexico. Each antenna is 25 meters (82 feet) in diameter. The data from the antennas is combined electronically to give the resolution of an antenna 36 km (22 miles) across, with the sensitivity of a dish 130 meters (422 feet) in diameter. 8-9-10 Joy-Vernon	Driving to Albuquerque was even more frustrating than usual for me today, (8-9-10) as the light & sky was gorgeous...we passed by several herds of female antelope...several buck antelope...wild flowers, etc. etc. But, Rick drives at 65 MPH and isn't interested in stopping for me to take photos...so here is another one of us on Hwy. 60 heading East from our beloved White Mountains.

A potty stop afforded me my only photo opt. today, except from the car. I have always been fascinated by our very American windmills...(along with just about everything under the sun). This one was right next to the place we stopped for the dogs. The self oiling Aermotor windmills, produced in four different models between 1915 and the present time, are the most common of all windmills seen in the field today. The key to the Aermotor is its wind wheel. Developed in the early 1880's by engineer Thomas O. Perry and adopted by LaVerne Noyes, the founder of the Aermotor Company. Joy-Vernon	A glorious sunset just as we were arriving at Albuquerque, speeding at 65 MPH, I managed to take photographs from the car heading North on I-25 (while Rick drove!) 8-9-10 Joy-Vernon	We were passing right by downtown Albuquerque on I-25 when I took this photo of the relatively high-rise downtown skyline. The Hyatt Regency on the left of this photo is the tallest building at 256 Ft. To the right (in the background, you can see a couple of the volcanoes on the West Side. Joy-Vernon
The long and winding road, came to an end for this old timer, many moons ago at the Petrified Forest. Posted By: Tom Joad-Lakeside-AZ	Some pictures of our recent visit to Glacier National Park. The waterfall going over the road with the cars driving under it is called, The Weeping Wall. We ran into the deer on the trail we were hiking on.
