Snow Covered Red Rock

I have been to Zion National Park many times but never in the winter.  This time it was so beautiful with the contrasting white snow and red rock!

Frozen Waterfall

As we drove thru Zion National Park we saw this frozen waterfall.  The water had come down the mountain and just frozen.  Even though this photo is beautiful with the blue sky and mountain, now you know that it was very cold!

Snowy Fields

During the Winter, the fields are at a stand still, covered with snow, waiting for the warmth of the Spring sun that will melt the snow and awaken the ground.  On a trip to Southern Utah this past week-end, for a funeral of a dear friend, we were reminded of this.

Racing

On our way to Southern Utah, this past week-end we saw a lot of snow. Soon, there was a train next to us, so we pretended we were racing it. Of course, they didn’t know about the race, but we did win.

Love ~ Swans

While strolling around this lake in 2008, I took photos of these Swans and one of them really showed off.  Going to the other swan, they made this heart shape just for me!  Swans, who mate for life, make this heart shape when they are courting.  I LOVE IT!!

Palm Tree

When we were staying on Kauai in 2015, one evening, I could see the sun was setting and I ran out to the beach to try and get a good photo of it. WOW, I was very pleased!!

Freedom Trail

Last Fall, while visiting Boston, we walked the 2 1/2 mile Freedom Walk.  It is a physical brick line that passes many historic sites.  It was educational, inspiring and wonderful, as we gained a greater appreciation for our country.  I highly recommend the Freedom Trail if you are ever in Boston!

Crystallized Water

This morning I looked out the window as the sun was rising and I saw beautiful crystals on my window, frozen water.  Isn’t this one cool?

Snowy Night

We went out the other evening and the snow started coming down and it didn’t stop until morning!  Not too many people were out in the bitter cold, but we were bundled up and we had a fun time!

USS Constitution

The USS Constitution is the world’s oldest commissioned naval vessel afloat, launching in 1797.  In 2016 we were able to walk around the USS Constitution while she is in dry dock and as skilled people work to restore her.  As we walked around I thought, if only she could speak, what stories she could tell!

Bunker Hill Monument

Last year as we walked along the Freedom Trail in Boston, we crossed a bridge and from there we had a nice view of the Bunker Hill Monument across Boston Harbor.  It was here that the battle of Bunker Hill took place on June 17, 1775.

Old State House

The Old State House is a historic building that was built in 1713, it was the seat of the Massachusetts General Court until 1798, and is one of the oldest public buildings in the United States.  Last year when we visited Boston we passed it as we walked along the Freedom Trail.  This photo shows the old surrounded by the new.
