August seems to be the month when we can get some awesome lightning storms.  Well, 2011 didn’t disappoint!  I took tons of photos, that’s the only way to get the lightning, THANK GOODNESS for digital!

When we were in Alaska in 2011, we took a tour thru Denali National Park.  We saw some wonderful wildlife.  This Grizzly Bear didn’t even notice us as it was searching for Soapberries.

Mt. Taranaki Thru The Fog

MtEgmont

New Plymouth, New Zealand

As my dad and I were flying from Auckland, New Zealand to New Plymouth, I was really disappointed when I heard the stewardess announce over the intercom that we wouldn’t be landing in New Plymouth because it was fogged in and that we’d be flying into Wanganui and then bused up to New Plymouth!  I was disappointed because we had family waiting at the airport for us and we were anxious to see them, but I was also disappointed because I was hoping to get a photo of Mt. Taranaki as we flew into land.  A short time later I looked out at the fog and was amazed at what I saw!  The perfect shot of Mt. Taranaki sticking up through the clouds!
