Fremont Street Never Gets Old!

The holidays are such a busy time!

I can't believe that Christmas is less than two weeks away.

We had a good time in Vegas for five nights, spending time with Terry's best friend.

Since then I've been getting ready for the holidays and our upcoming renovations.

No big tree this year, but still lots of fun.

My post is mostly photos this week, and I was so focused on

capturing different things, that I forgot to get pictures of Jon, Terry, and me. 😵‍💫

Most of my writing time is going into working on my manuscript.

That makes me very, very happy, even when I'm tearing my hair out.

So here are a few pictures. I always have pictures!

Glaciated Mountains and Valleys of Colorado

If you look carefully, you can see three levels of valleys scoured by former glaciers:

high near the tops of mountains, incised into a middle level,

and low across the bottom of the photo.

I visit Tempe Elephant Park almost every day.

I like to have this camera streaming on my computer when I'm not using it.

I was stunned when I looked at it on December 6th and saw a new road!

What? Why?

On Fremont Street in Downtown Las Vegas

You can have The Strip in Las Vegas.

Me, I'll take Fremont Street in Downtown Vegas, hands down!

It is fascinating, compact, and retains the feel of Old Vegas.

I especially love Fremont Street at night because it is full of vibrant color

constantly shifting and changing, often to the throb of overhead music.

When you walk up and down the length of Fremont from the Plaza to the Container Park

You will meet people from all walks of life, good and bad.

I won't deny it. You can see some very sad and unsettling sights.

But what brings me joy is seeing so many people laughing, dancing, and singing.

I often think people are remembering the happiest times in their youth

when they were carefree, growing into themselves, falling in love.

I love the live bands!

It's not unusual for me to stay through all three sets of their performances,

dancing, singing, and taking hundreds of photos.

If I take enough action shots, I will get some great pictures with my iPhone.

Often I'll just wander taking in the sights and people.

Terry worries about me when I'm off on my own,

because I can be oblivious to things going on,

like a drug deal going down in a dark corner.

I am under orders to text him frequently,

and he'll show up periodically to make sure I'm okay.

He'll often watch two or three songs with me, but that's his max,

especially as I'm always pressed up against the stage barrier right in front of the big amps.

(I love to feel the sound beating against me!)

Then he'll head off to join friends or play poker.
