We were in New York City in 2006 visiting family and while we were there we went on a cruise around New York City, on the Hudson River.  It was a beautiful day as we passed under the George Washington Bridge and looked at the city.

Back in 2006 we had a friend visiting us from Italy so we took her to some of our Utah sites.  Zion National Park was one of these, where we took a driving trip thru it and saw some beautiful scenery.  It was nice for us to see some of our own state.  We LOVED it and so did Stefania!

Golden Spike National Historic Site

Promontory Point, Utah

When we have company from afar, we take them to Golden Spike National Historic Site at Promontory Point.  In 2006, we took our visitors to see the re-enactment of the driving of the ‘Golden Spike’ which allowed the Jupiter (Central Pacific Railroad) and 119 (Union Pacific Railroad) to come together.  This occurred on May 10, 1869 and changed our nation.

Yummy Selection

cl1cde-0406-img_6243-60In 2006, my friend Joannie, had this fun idea.  She bought some chocolates and brought over her plate that had chocolate written in French on it and then I took photos of the chocolates on her plate.  We had so much fun doing this and came up with the idea that Chocolate Cards are a Fat Free – Healthy Alternative to real Chocolate!  Now, for those of you who LOVE chocolate, I am sure this is a horrible idea.  Having said all this, I do LOVE chocolate!

Farmington Bay is a great place to see migratory birds.  In 2006 I went there with my friend Pam and we saw tons of eagles as well as other birds.  I try to go to Farmington Bay each February, a wonderful place for photographers and birds lovers.

Around Valentine’s Day, each year, I go to Farmington Bay where I photograph the migratory birds. I never know from year to year what I will see. In 2006 I was pleasantly surprised to see tons of Bald Eagles. This tree was covered, so fun! How many Bald Eagles can you see? Oh…HAPPY VALENTINE’S DAY!!
