During the May NSA/Colorado celebration, President Chandra Hall surprised me with the 2015 President’s Award for service to the chapter.

I am extremely honored and humbled. As I noted when receiving the award, “Where else can you fly with the eagles?”

Hats off to an AMAZING group of fearless entrepreneurs!

On an entirely different note, I received 2nd place in the Pikes Peak Chapter/Colorado Archaeological Society photo contest.

I took this photo in Monument Valley last year, while Mike and I explored the 4WD back road at Monument Valley … the road less traveled.  :>  In a previous year, I won 1st place for this image (below) of an Eastern collared lizard, which graciously posed for me at Hovenweep National Monument.
