It has been a year since Margo and I got our COVID vaccinations and started busting out of town. We had pent-up travel urges that had to be unleashed. I’m calling the trips we made in the past 12 months “vaccications.”
We braved the nation’s air travel system to go to San Francisco (to visit son Franky in Berkeley), Tucson (twice), Bar Harbor and San Diego. We took the Vamoose bus to New York (to visit son Peter in Brooklyn) and returned on Amtrak’s Acela train. It was a bit nerve-wracking to be crammed in with other travelers but we made it through uninfected.
All of the photographs in this post were taken with my iPhone 11 Pro Max, my preferred camera for travel. Several months ago I got an app called Carbon for black and white conversions. It has some cool filters and I particularly like it for making blue sky super dark as we used to do with red filters in the black and white film days.
You will notice an abundance of photographs of cacti. What can I tell you? I’m a sucker for succulents.
