WHS – The Taj!

tajmahal

I was so excited to see the Taj Mahal. For one thing, it’s a sight that you hear about your whole life, and for another if the day is too cloudy or overcast, your chances of seeing it go way down. Luckily we were able to see it. I couldn’t believe the crowds, and [...]

Nature’s Bath…with a Yak!

yakbath

I didn’t think it was too hot of a day but apparently with all that weight and hair and fur, yaks can begin to get heat exhaustion from temperatures over 59 degrees, so yes, he was hot! Taking a nice cool bath was a good idea. There actually was an entire herd in the [...]

Photo Art – Fishermen at Sunset

FishermenIndiaSunset

This photo was taken at sunset in Cochin, India. I love the huge fishing nets. The only thing I did to enhance the photo is put a yellow filter over it. What do you think?

Portrait of a Traveling Daughter #2

bali_erikasmall

So last week on portrait day, I posted my oldest daughter’s photo and this week it’s my youngest daughter’s turn. Here she is in Bali, Indonesia at the orchid garden. Bali is the ultimate place to just go, relax, experience a culture that is different than ours, and just rejuvenate. I am not a [...]

Things that make me Happy! Laundry…believe it or not!

laundry

I travel to see how people live all over the world, how they are similar to me and how they are different. Guess what? I do laundry. I know, weird, right? I don’t know what it is, but I love seeing all the different fabrics, colors flapping in the wind. I try to take [...]

Landscape – Six Mile Lake

Six Mile Lake

The best time to take photographs is while the sun is coming up or going down, and in Alaska there is the added bonus of that being when the animals are out and about too. The day I took this shot, we came across some beaver, some mother moose with her twins, a shy [...]

Food – Grilled Scallop

GrilledScallop

Being near the ocean gives one the chance to experience the freshest seafood. That’s exactly what I’m doing. This lady was cooking up fresh squid and scallops right out to Pacific. She had a little stand right on the beach, and you didn’t have to go anywhere to enjoy the food. If you haven’t [...]

WHS – Frasier Island, Australia

FrasierIsland

I was very excited about going to Frasier Island, and since we had limited time we took a 4WD tour around the island. I think if I did it again, I wouldn’t take a tour, but it was nice for the first time. It’s pretty incredible that the whole island is made out of [...]

Nature – Red-footed Booby

There are three different types of booby in the Galapagos, and they are all easily observed and photographed. This is a red-footed booby, and the colors on her are just gorgeous. I love the blue and pink of her beak.

HDR – Camel Handler

CamelHandler

HDR photo-processing lends itself better to certain kinds of photography. I like it for showing people who are working. It seems it adds a texture to the photo that shows how hard-working the subjects are. This photo was taken on a 4WD tour of the desert around Dubai. We were flying through and had [...]
