Monkey With My Glasses
Monkey Temple, Bali,Indonesia – 2008 – Canon 20D
We had a fun time at the Monkey Temple, named because there are Monkeys everywhere. We were warned that the monkeys grab things, so to be careful! Twice my glasses where taken right off my face by monkeys. The second one grabbed them and took off down a cliff, then he just sat there looking at us with my glasses in his mouth! What a stinker! We paid a man to get my glasses, which he did by going over the barricade and enticing the monkey with apples and oranges, which worked. At first the monkey took an apple and kept my glasses in his mouth, then when offered more fruit he took it with his other hand. For the third piece he had to let go of my glasses. The man was quick and grabbed my glasses before they fell down to the ocean below! I had to wear my glasses the rest of the trip, but they were never the same with bite marks all over them!

After a walk along the beach, I sat down to RELAX and watch the surfers as they glided across the waves. All of a sudden I heard ‘cock-a-doodle-doo’, I looked behind me to see this beautiful Rooster. I quickly turned around to get a photo of him with my feet, as he walked away!

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.

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!

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.

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, Utah
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!!
