This is a shot taken from across a small canyon (known as an arroyo). Starting at the bottom work your way up to the first house you see -- there is a car to left of it if you have good eyes. That's not ours. Continue up the hill and then to the next house which is ours. You are looking at the portal (pronounced port all with the emphasis on the first syllable). Above us is one of our neighbors whose home is about 75 yards up the hill from us. This shot is from a spot about 300 yards from our house as the raven flies. But it is two miles of winding road as the car drives or as Kathy walks it every morning.
This is from the same spot with a telephoto lens.
And this is the telephoto pulled in as tightly as it would go. Now you can see what a portal is. This covered area faces west and we have some killer sun sets.

This is a shot from the beginning of our driveway. The portal is on the left and the front entry is to the left of the garage doors.
Our dear friends, Brinck and Susie, have raised these flamingos since they were first hatched and encouraged them to fly out to greet us at our new digs. Hmmmm! Thanks guys!
I'll add some interior shots tomorrow -- now that most of the boxes are unpacked and most of the artwork is hung.
Cool Craig - it certainly looks like an alien landscape compared to the East Coast. So scrubby!
