Loving my HQCB #58 DT card badge combo with desert southwest look on 14 July 2024

Welcome to Becca's Quest for Love and Country Creativity blog!

purpose: this posting shares my love for a variety of rural outdoor settings including deserts; I haven't been to the USA Southwest of Arizona and New Mexico since I was 7 years old but thanks to my mom taking lots of snapshots with her Kodak camera, I've remembered many of the tourist stops and national landmarks that we visited like the Grand Canyon, Mesa Verde, 4 Corners, etc. 

Later in my mid-twenties, I spent 2 years living in the D-FW metro area in Texas and got to do some traveling throughout the state to Waco, Tyler, Abilene, and even Glen Rose (dinosaur prints) and also through eastern Oklahoma.
