Baby Calves

We had a wonderful trip to New Zealand, we stayed at my cousin’s on their dairy farm.  On New Year’s Day I went for a walk and took some fun photos.  These baby calves were so curious, they came to see what I was doing!  Mt. Taranaki or Mt. Egmont is in the background.  Yes, it is a volcano.

Sky Tower

+NZA5a-1207.IMG_5192).80+Auckland, New Zealand

My mom was born in Auckland, New Zealand, so I love going there and thinking of her.  In 2007 we had a wonderful trip to New Zealand and we went up in the Sky Tower.  I am not one that likes heights, so I was very nervous, but the view was amazing!  The Sky Tower was completed in 1997.

The Pohutukawa tree, in the foreground, is a native New Zealand tree, also called the Christmas tree because it blooms just before Christmas and until mid-January.

La Farfalla di Rosa

We went up into the mountains north of Rome with some friends and there, in 2007, we had a wonderful time at our friend’s cabin, Enrico & Letizia.  At one point we all went for a walk, it was gorgeous!  Amongst the trees were these beautiful butterflies, tiny and very small.  My friend Rosa, put one on her hand, so I call this one, La Farfalla di Rosa (Rosa’s Butterfly).

Bald Eagle

Farmington Bay, Utah

My friend, Pam & I went out to Farmington Bay, back in 2007.  We saw lots of Bald Eagles that day.  As we were crossing a bridge, all of a sudden, there were a bunch of Bald Eagles who flew out from under it.  This Eagle fell into the water, as it was hit by some of the other Eagles, in their panic.  It swam, using it’s wings like arms, to the side and after a little while it took off, with water dripping off of it.  It was fascinating to watch!

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!!

Sunset on the Oquirrh Mountains

+SS5d-1004.(01).+80Salt Lake City, Utah

What a beautiful view of a gorgeous sunset we had.  I could see the sky was changing color as the sun set over the Great Salt Lake. So, I hurried outside and up the hill behind our house. And, this is what I saw as the sunset on the Oquirrh Mountains.
