One day we were wandering through Juneau, after getting off the ferry, and we happened upon this majestic guy outside the state capital building. Isn’t he the cutest? He was already a bronze color, but I thought the whole picture could do with a bronze overtone. Too much? Should you try to art [...] Continue reading Art? Art. 
Isn’t this the cutest little guy, peeking out from the bushes? We encountered him in Mount McKinley National Park. I’m not so sure he’s as happy to see us as we were him! 
There are some photos that really lend themselves to HDR, and I think anytime you have a jail photo, it qualifies. What types of photos do you like to HDR? 
Any Alaskan will tell you that when the fireweed is at the top of the plant, that summer is over. Winter is on his way. The first snow on the mountains is called “termination dust” and you’d better get your parkas and mukluks out of the closet! [...] Continue reading The End of Summer in Alaska 
Our entire family are Disney fans. For the older generation, Jim’s siblings, I think it’s because they grew up in California and going to Disneyland every year was a highlight for them. For our children, they grew up watching Disney movies like the Little Mermaid and Beauty and the Beast. They know all the songs, [...] Continue reading Diggin’ the Disney Family Museum in San Francisco 
One thing about a far-flung family is I get to visit all over the U.S. when completing my rounds. We drove from Tacoma to Stephensville, Montana to visit my mother-in-law. Montana is a beautiful state, and one of my favorite pastimes is to take photos of all of the barns and wide landscapes as we [...] Continue reading Rock Hounding in Montana 
Ok, so it wasn’t a real duck, and I’m definitely not the only one, if you go by the crowds that were in Seattle on that sunny day, but it was a blast! And, I can add it to my “modes of transporation” list. Woo hoo! The ducks are WWII amphibious craft that are glorified [...] Continue reading I’ve Ridden a Duck! 
A week of Oklahoma goodness had ended, and I was waving my hat and saying “Adios” to the Sooner state. We headed down the road a mite, to Ft. Worth, Texas for me to catch my plane. We had some time to kill, and still wanted to see some real stockyards, so silly us we [...] Continue reading Finally a Maze and Some Cattle! 
It was my last day in Oklahoma, and when I was researching what to do there, I was excited to go to the Historic Stockyards, where you can still see them auctioning off livestock. This totally appeals to me. I love experiencing something that is completely different than my life, the life of a teacher [...] Continue reading Where’s the beef? From Disappointment to Breakfast! 
Continuing with my exploration of the great state of Oklahoma, we headed north about 100 miles to Ponca City where there is the Pioneer Woman’s Museum. One hundred miles is really far when you compare it to central Europe or even the east coast of the U.S., but in Oklahoma it’s just “up [...] Continue reading Oklahoma! (Part deux) |
