College of the Ozarks
Point Lookout, Missouri
College of the Ozarks is a private Christian liberal-arts college, overlooking Lake Taneycomo. It has free tuition and originally began giving education to the children who lived in the country (Hillbillies) and continues to do the same, today. The students work on the campus, milking cows, gardening, mowing lawns, working in the restaurant or cleaning, wherever they are needed. I think the idea is awesome! It is affiliated with the Presbyterian Church. I love this photo with a bell, cross and flag in it.

Koloa, Kauai, Hawai’i
I love this tree tunnel near Poipu, on the island on Kauai. On our way to and from Poipu we drive thru this Tree Tunnel. Some days it is raining, other days you can see the blue sky thru the trees. It is a fun place and I love taking photos when there is little traffic. This Tree Tunnel has rows of Eucalyptus Trees that were planted about 150 years ago by sugar king Walter McBryde. LOVE IT!

Hamilton, New Zealand
When I was a child, from the age of 3 – 6, I lived just to the left and down the hill from this beautiful Temple. Though I was young when we left New Zealand, looking at this photo brings back wonderful memories and joyous feelings of my childhood. The Hamilton Temple was dedicated on April 20, 1958 and I was there. This beautiful edifice is a Temple of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

Barn Owl
Hook, England
Simon was our falconer and he showed us a number of his birds. It was amazing! I loved this Barn Owl who was so aware of everything around us, but very gentle. We were able to touch it’s very, very soft feathers. I love the white feathers with the contrast of it’s very dark eyes.

Red-Tailed Hawk
Hook, England
We spent a wonderful day with a Falconer, looking at his birds and watching what they do. Did you know that birds do not poop in their nests? They find a tree and that becomes their poop tree and you know this because it is covered in white. I thought that was amazing. Each bird is unique and awesome to watch. Here the Red-tailed Hawk is flying, I love taking photos of birds as they fly!

Hook, England
We spent sometime with a falconer, Simon and it was so enjoyable! This owl was beautiful. Abby, was raised by a 6 year old girl and she loves to cuddle. When she was on anyone’s arm (they had a thick glove on) she would move up close to their body. It was fun to watch their interaction as she would look into their eyes. Doesn’t she have beautiful eyes?!?!

Kestrel
Hook, EnglandHorse and Duck
Hook, England
We went out into the countryside and saw lots of animals; cows, horses, ducks, and even some that we don’t know what they were. This duck and horse were drinking together when the duck decided to waddle away. So, I watched and at the right moment when he was between the horses legs, I snapped this photo.

Kew Gardens
Richmond, England
On a very wet day, Craig and I went to the Kew Gardens. They are beautiful! There are large green houses with tons and tons of flowers! We went into one that was amazing and so big that we didn’t even see all of it. There were columns with different flowers growing all over them. This one has more tropical flowers on it, others have orchids on them. Their orchid collection is gorgeous, I have never seen such large and colorful ones. AMAZING place to visit, definitely want to go there again!

In Bloom
Esher, England
I was so surprised how much nicer the weather is here in England, than I was expecting. It’s February and the flowers are in bloom. Crocuses are up as are the Daffodils. From what we were told, it is Winter here from December to January; Spring, February to June; Summer, July & August; Fall, September to November. So, if someone likes Spring, this is the place for them!

Bike, Wall, Tree and House
Esher, England
Along the road I trod, watching all I past. A bike came along and as it wizzed by it gave me the opportunity to snap this shot. I love the bike as it took it’s passenger along, the brick wall with it’s various colors, the tree that is so big & barren and the house beyond that is so British.
