February 21... Odds and Ends...

I am trying to keep up at least a weekly post about my activities, but since I have been stationary for several weeks now, it's a little more difficult to come up with content.  I am still at Scadden Wash in Quartzite, and will be here until the end of the month.  After that I don't know where I will go but will remain in the area for a while longer before I start my next journey...

A few interesting things...

One of the members of the wildlife, a cute chubby little bird which I think is a gray bellied warbler (edit-I haven’t identified him as yet, maybe if the wren or the thrasher family), has been very bold in the search for food.  Almost daily, when I have the side door(s) open, he hops up on the step of the van and then proceeds to graze my sandy brown colored rug for bits and pieces of food, and it doesn't matter if I am lying on the couch or in the back cooking with music playing.  The picture shows him at the door at getting ready to exit, but this was because he was a bit put off by me mgrabbing the phone to snap a pic...

Here’s a short video too...
I managed to capture my visitor in a short video, but as you will see, as soon as he spots the camera in my hand he exits...  lol

I thought I would also include a photo of a meal that I made lately.  I eat pretty well, and most of the time I enjoy putting together a nice meal, breakfast is my favorite time to create...

I think you can identify most of the ingredients, so I won't go into details, but it is mostly an open face omelet dressed with veggies and some shredded peppered and smoked turkey breast meat...

And lastly, just a shot of a campfire I had a week or so ago.  I didn't have any firewood and you can't use wood from the desert, but some campers who were nearby left and I noticed that they had left their remaining firewood stacked in their fire ring.  So I collected all of the wood and brought it back to camp and although it wasn't much, I have had two campfires already and still have a couple of sticks of wood left...

Thanks for coming along...
