The Road Chronicles: Pictures from Day 2 and Day 3

Ok I think it'll be easier to do all these pictures at once, since I didn't actually have the energy to upload any last night, and I don't really have the energy to edit yesterday's post and cleverly insert pictures along with witty captions in either yesterday's or today's post. I will solve the problem by just putting everything in one and using plain, boring captions!

Day 2:
Mesas in Southern California


Weird looking plants (trees? shrubs?)


This is the border between California and Arizona. It goes over this pretty river with gorgeous turquoise/aqua blue water.


Just on the Arizona side of the border.


The landscape changed significantly and things were rockier and less flat.


Stripey!


JonMarke thought perhaps something was burning; I thought it was a low hanging cloud; either way it's a pretty picture that is well framed.


Two Guns, AZ. Yes, this is the entire town. We thought "Oh an exit with a gas station, let's stop for a pit stop." Yeah, that didn't work. The entire town was those two buildings and they were both completely abandoned.


So we made the pit stop in Winslow, AZ instead. I asked JonMarke to take a picture of me standing on a corner in Winslow Arizona.


Which is exactly what he did, the picture was of me, and I was on a corner, but in my head I had a different idea of the framing of the picture. So here (as we were driving out) is the corner framed as I had imagined it. Just imagine me still standing there!


Apparently there are also mesas in Arizona.


I tried to get a good picture of how SPRAWLING Albuquerque is as we drove up Wednesday night, but it's hard to get a good picture in the dark out of a moving car through the windshield.


Day 3:
The landscape was very different in New Mexico. All of the sudden there were trees instead of shrubs.


Trees.

And like I said, there was really nothing of interest in Texas or Oklahoma, so we passed through there without any photos!


P.S. I was always taught that photos are more interesting when there are people in them. And after going through thousands upon thousands of Nana's photos of plants, dogs, gardens, and landscapes, I totally agree! The problem is that when you're on a road trip with just two people, the pictures of people get pretty boring after a while... "Here's Jessi driving", "Ooh, now JonMarke is driving", "Oh, now Jessi is driving again, still looking straight forward, at the road". You get the idea. And we can't even switch it up a tiny bit cuz any pictures of the person in the passenger seat would have had to have been taken by the driver, which is dangerous! We would never do that. :-) So you get pictures of landscapes, cuz that's what is interesting on a road trip.
