It's a quarter after one...

...I'm all alone and I need you now.  (Lyrics from a Lady A song just in case you didn't know)

I'm a little happy that we got to see Lady Antebellum last week.

Tickets had been on sale for months and I had been meaning to buy some, but didn't get around to it until about 4:30 p.m. on the day of the concert.

We didn't get great seats--we were on the side of the stage and a little to the rear (or as the guy next to me said we had the cheap backstage tickets), but it was still fantastic!

See all those people in the center of the arena?  Those were the general admission tickets--no seats, just standing room.  You know you're getting old when you think standing three hours for a concert looks miserable.

(I didn't have my good camera with me so the pics are a little grainy due to the lack of light.)




Eden's Edge started the night.  How do those girls perform in those heels?

Do you think they put them on right before coming on stage and then kick them off as soon as they leave stage? 







They were followed by Mr. Josh Kelley...aka Mr. Katherine Heigl or Izzy for those of you who know Gray's Anatomy.









Then it was time for Lady A!

I love their music and am hoping Santa will bring me their new  album for Christmas.

What I love even more about them is that they are very down to earth, humble, and appreciative of their fans.

Their concert was one the most well run productions I've seen in a while.  Most concerts have a long wait between acts while they're changing out the equipment.

This one ran quickly and smoothly.  We were home and in bed by 11:05 which is very early for a concert that has three acts performing.  I really appreciate their efforts because I usually avoid concerts on a work night because I don't like staying out late and having to get up early for work.  I thought Lady A was worth a tired Friday though.

It was a great time and I highly recommend you go see Lady A if they come to your area.

Looks and sounds like a good concert. Yep, I'm at the age where I appreciate getting out early. The standing room tickets do not do a thing for me.

Skywatch Friday: A little close for comfort

Image
We had a fire out here on the eastern plains of Colorado last week.  I kept getting reports on the fire's location on my cell phone while I was at work.  Then a warning popped up that let me know it was time to hit the road and go home to prepare to evacuate the critters. When we initially got home it was still a decent distance away. Within 30 minutes it had come up over the ridge and flames were visible. The winds were gusting 45 to 50 mph.  It was a fast moving fire that burned 5,000 acres in only four hours.  Then the most amazing thing happened--the winds died down and the firefighters got in under control by 8:15 that night.  Thank you, Lord! Have you ever had to stand in your house and wonder what you should take out with you?  There were only two things I could think of...1) my critters and 2) my passport so I could still go to Europe next month.  Irv and I agreed that we need to get things organized so we can just grab a box...

Skywatch Friday: Upper and Lower Falls

Image
Yesterday I got to visit the recently completed Uncle Tom's Overlook along the Yellowstone River in Yellowstone National Park. This is the first really good look I've ever had at the Upper Falls of the Yellowstone River. These falls are almost as good as the Lower Falls. After leaving the Upper Falls you go downstream for a mile or so to.... ...Artist's Point which has the very best view of the Lower Falls (in my opinion).  In this location the view is perfect, so perfect that it look like a painting. This is just one of the features of this Park that make it my heart and soul.   Linking with Skywatch Friday

Skywatch Friday: Wild Horses!

Image
 The Salt River wild horses have been eluding us since we arrived in Arizona several weeks ago so today we went in search of them again. This time we started at the Coon Bluff Recreation Area.  First we went one way down the river, but soon had to turn back because we didn't bring any rock climbing gear. Then we turned around and went the other direction. The water in the river was crystal clear, but no sign of fish or horses. There are times when I really miss my dad especially when I want to know what kind of tree I'm looking at.  This one has something that resembles Spanish moss hanging down.  What is it? This riparian area that surrounds the river has all kinds of wildlife.  Today we saw theses white egrets. This gray heron was also hanging out in the distance. We met a guy carrying all kinds of photographic equipment and he said we needed to go about a quarter of a mile further down the river to find a spot where the horses cross every afternoon around 5:0...
