Seeing is Believing

Oh my goodness, how I do love to photograph wildlife.  And it is just wonderful to be armed with prior knowledge about where you might see some amazing animals on your journey!  Thank you, Canada!  We loved the signage in British Columbia and the Yukon Territory which gave us a heads-up as to what we might have a chance of seeing.


And sometimes we were rewarded for being ready for anything.  Though there was not always a sign, there were sometimes surprises around many curves, waiting to get our blood pumping!


Since we arrived in Alaska yesterday, we are seeing some amazing landscapes, and enough airplanes to keep my pilot husband VERY happy!  No wild animals have appeared before us, but we know there are moose and bear in our area.  We shall see how the next few weeks unfold. 

Anchorage is our location at the moment, and in the next couple of days we will head south, enjoying the Kenai Peninsula. 

The quote of the day:

"When we sell the house, can we spend the whole summer up here?" 

The response:

"When we sell the house, can we spend a month renting a cottage in Cornwall, England?"

It would seem we both have dreams - which is a very good thing.

Both dreams sound pretty good -- are you watching "Poldark?"!

Lovely -- so glad you are having a wonderful time!

A Blast from the Past

Very hard to photograph at night, with a poor little cell phone.  But you get the idea. (Look for the family photo hidden within this picture). Las Vegas - Old School A week ago I joined the "kids" for a walk down memory lane.  I helped them clean out their father's house in Las Vegas, following his recent death, and we found so much history and memorabilia from the life and times of their father, grandfather and great-grandfather, as well as other grandparents and relatives.  One of the bonuses to cleaning out houses of people who don't throw anything away, is finding treasures and riches beyond measure.  A true inheritance. Discovering their history - while wearing Grandma's pearls. Snapshot Grandpa took, we assume, during a WWII USO tour. Ah...Bing. It turned out to be a souvenir edition, but still fascinating. We don't know which family member this is...but what a great photo! In a prior life I did live, and teach, in L...

Happy Week- being home and loving photography

Roamin Meets the GPS- Stories from the Road Lisa, my favorite Curious Girl , created a wonderful idea for a week of "happy" posts. Share those things which make you happy, bring joy to your life, and generally fill you with happy thoughts (I do love the movie Hook , with Robin Williams). We are just returned from our fabulous 23-day, 5600 mile, 10 state, 4 time-zone adventure, and I am filled with happy thoughts today. I am also aware of the piles of laundry, the dirty car, the grocery shopping, and the weary body. Those are not the things I'll share today! Today it's about the joy of road-tripping. The miracle that we live in such a country that everywhere you go you see something to celebrate. I love driving down the road and seeing something new, or different, or unexpected. We drove for a very long time across the upper mid-west, while following signs for "Wall Drugs." Apparently this is a historic stop, originally a place for those who crossed the coun...

Celebrating 100 Posts - A Challenge

Yes, we are closing in on our 100th post . Truly amazing. Thank you for reading and participating, helping keep the ideas, words and photos flowing. In honor of this momentous occasion, let's have a party. A party where "100" is featured. Do not become concerned if an idea doesn't pop into your head right away. You have one week to come up with something which includes 100 . Think party, celebration and fun. Think creatively. Think challenge. Photography is about expressing yourself, and challenging yourself. Here's a real stretcher! Celebrate with us by posting a photo (or series) which depicts the number 100 in some way. Let me know if you're going to participate and I'll create a way for everyone to link to each other's pages - chuckling, laughing, crying and surprising. You'll be amazed what you see when you start looking. Still at a loss? Here is a non-exhaustive look at the number 100: 100 years ago (something nostalgic- there's wigg...
