It’s Christmas Eve, a perfect time for more photos from the two calendars that Peggy and I put together for our family that feature National Parks of the Southwestern US. It’s hard to imagine a finer gift to the people of America and other countries than these special places that have been set aside in the US and around the world for now and future generations. Unless, of course, we are talking about world peace. (Grin.) As I mentioned previously, these are parks that Peggy and I visited in 2019/20. Some before Covid and some during the pandemic. In the latter we dutifully social distanced and wore our face masks whenever around people. If you are a regular reader of my blog, you may have seen these photos before. Enjoy. Be safe and Happy Holidays.

Thanks, Andrew. Peggy and I were both fascinated with how that rock stood out. Hope your Xmas went well. Now, onward to 2021! –Curt
Great Photos! Glad to say we have visited all those places, though sometimes the weather wasn’t very co-operative and our photos are reminders of the trip, though not stunning reminders like yours…
