Farewell Tulips, will see you again next Spring. These are the last of my tulip pics for this year. I think anyway, sometimes I set some aside for a rainy day. Hopefully you have enjoyed them as much as I have.

I definetly enjoyed my outing to Pella and look forward to next year and hopefully spending a little more time there.

Have a great day….stay happy and safe!

Saylorville Lake

•May 3, 2023 • 2 Comments

I took this video of Saylorville last year but haven’t had a chance to post it. I took it with my phone and trying to get it to the computer to put it on here but no fun. And I wasn’t sure how it would turn out. So this is basically a test to see how well videos will work on here and if it’s something I want to add more of later on and if so future videos will be with the camera…

It was a windy day so it’s probably a bit loud. But I love the sound of the water hitting the shore..

Just click on the image to play video…

Blooming Ocotillo

•May 3, 2023 • 1 Comment

Can go by many different names, candlewood, vine cactus etc. You would think looking at it, it might belong to the cactus family, but it does not, it is a shrub. They are very pretty though and are easy to pick out when you’re out hiking or walking the desert, which is where you will find them. I don’t think they would do very well in Iowa…

Even though they are very pretty to look at they have nasty little spines that let you know right away you shouldn’t touch. Yes I found out the hard way. lol

I think every decision helps us learn or grow, whether it is the right ones or not. So I couldn’t just pick one.

Your finally here!

You know how some songs just make you happy or sad or make you want to dance? Well the song I can See Clearly Now by Jimmy Cliff is one of those songs for me. Every time I hear it, just makes me happy and makes me want to do a happy dance. So enjoy the day and enjoy a little Jimmy!

Break apart cookie dough and place around heart shaped pan leaving a little space in between each one. Bake according to package.

I wasn’t as close as I would have liked to been but felt lucky enough to get the few shots I did. There were other young ones flying but stayed clear. I think they were after something in the field. But I love the sounds they make and the older one was rather vocal..

Happy New Year!

Hard to imagine another year has gone by. Seems like the older I get the faster time goes by. And each year I tell myself the next one will be better. Sometimes it is and sometimes not so much.

But I hope this year is a healthy and happy one, filled with love and laughter. And we all achieve whatever goals we have set forth.

So Make the most of this year, dont look back, look forward, embrace all the good and truly do live life to the fullest….

Reflections Are..

•November 23, 2022 • Leave a Comment

Spent a little bit of time trying to take photos of water reflections. Some I like, some I’m on fence about and there are always some I’m not impressed with at all. But that’s ok, always room for improvement.

Took these the night before the eclipse or the night of. Sadly I missed the eclipse thanks to this thing called sleeping.. But I did get these atleast, and I did have this plan of waking up for the eclipse but that didn’t work out so well.

I didn’t notice the visitor in the tree til later when I was going over the photos…

First Snow Part 2

•November 16, 2022 • 2 Comments

Beautiful snow fall, first one of the season and probably not the last. I always like the first snow fall but then I’m over it. I have been on these trails before and never had an issue, but the snow did hide a few tripping hazards. I won’t say if they did me in or not. haha!
