Looking At Me

Mormon Row, Wyoming

We had a wonderful time in Jackson Hole, Wyoming with our dear friends Pam & Milt Taylor, THANKS for the invitation to go!  They took us to a place called Mormon Row, not far from Jackson Hole, an area that was settled by Mormon Settlers. While driving thru the area we saw this herd of Buffalo coming towards us and so we whipped out our cameras. I love this shot with a Buffalo looking at me and a baby Buffalo behind it.

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.

My brother-in-law is a pyrotechnical.  It is so fun to go to his children’s wedding receptions, because there are Fire Engine’s there, waiting for the fireworks at the end.  He does a great job!  I took these photos (combined into this one) of some of his fireworks in 2010 of our Independence Day Celebration (July 4th).  I LOVE FIREWORKS!

Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming

Jamie, (my daughter) and I planned a fun trip to go and see her husbands grandparents in Idaho.  The night before some of her children were ill, so I had to decide do I still go with Chelsea or cancel the trip.  I decided to go for it.  Chelsea and I ended up having a wonderful trip to Idaho and then to Wyoming where we drove thru Yellowstone Park.  While driving thru we saw a lot of Buffalo.  Cars were stopped all over and people were outside their cars trying to get the perfect shot!

I went with my son and his family to Colonial Williamsburg.  It was wonderful and like stepping back into the 1700’s.  This is where Patrick Henry lived and later Thomas Jefferson when he was the Governor of Virginia.
