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!

 We had settled down for the night in our hotel and heard the fireworks begin, so I ran out and was able to get a few good photos. Disneyland always does such a good show!!

Fireworks or Night Sky

It’s always fun taking photos of fireworks as well as the night sky and with this photo I’ll ask, is it fireworks or the night sky?

Palms

Poipu, Kauai, Hawaii

After a nice swim, I laid on the lounge chair and looked up thru the Palm Trees and thought what a great photo that would be, so I took one!  The rainbow and colors are fun with the sun coming thru the palms!

Landing

On our way to Kauai, Hawaii, we landed at LAX. Freeways are always busy there, but today they are beautiful as we land. I yelled out HI to our daughter, Ashley and her husband, Michael!

Preparing for our Next Trip

I went and got my nails done as I was preparing for our next trip. I told Young, who has done my nails for a long time, to smile, so I could take a photo of my feet with her in it, she follows me on Instagram so she knew what that meant and she moved out of the photo, I told her no, I want you in it, so I got this photo of my feet with Young in it, as she giggled! This was the perfect place for me to RELAX!!

In this photo the Union Pacific’s locomotive No. 119 is coming towards the Central Pacific’s locomotive Juniper, re-enacting the completion of the first Transcontinental Railroad.

Mount Rainier

Mount Rainier National Park, Pierce County, Washington

As we flew home from Hawaii we had a layover in Seattle, it was a quick one, and before we knew it we were on our flight home. As we left Seattle our pilot did something just for me, or at least that’s what I like to think. We were heading south when he turned left and took us right along side Mt. Rainier, what a gorgeous view of this active stratovolcano located 54 miles southeast of Seattle.

Happy 4th of July
