SUNRISE !!!!!!

Beautiful sunrise with a storm brewing.

Flying Home from Seattle, what a ride !!!

The city of Seattle, what a view!!

Another picture with the prop, yes 1/8000 of a second.

Notice the yellow on the ends of the propeller.

Flying home from Seattle, this prop plane is the same type that crashed last week.

I was pretty worried about flying home.

The plane holds about 85 people, it is a very noisy plane.

It was good to have both feet on the ground.

Homes near the pier.

Hundreds of sail boats at the pier.



The famous Pikes Market

MORE OF SEATTLE

The Zoo

The port and the city from the west side.

VACATION TO SEATTLE

I went to Seattle for a few days, the highlightof the trip was seeing the Lion King.
It was terrific !!!
I will post several pictures each day of the trip.

Some cool cloud formations.

This is a picture of the mountain range and includes the props of the prop plane.

I used a shutter speed 1/8000 of a second to stop the action.

A river, not sure which one, I thought it was cool.

Getting ready to land, the city - the Space Needle

We had this weird broccli vegetable, Romanesco.

Originally from Italy from the 16th century. It tasted pretty good.

Time for a sunset

Another day, another sunset.

Granite for the Salt Lake Temple

I went up Little Cottonwood Canyon (9000 S.) in Utah to take a few pictures of the Granite. This canyon is where they got the stone for the Salt Lake City Temple. I hope you can read the historical markers, they explain the great sacrifice the workers gave to transport the large stones 20 miles to the Salt Lake Temple site. Missy and I spent a few hours at this spot a few years ago. It is a great place to visit.

Busy picture day

This is the Hazen Tree early in the morning.

It has a little frost on it, temperature 7 degrees.

Thanks for the lighting tip Devin !!!

Okay, so this is a perfect picture, blue sky, winter day. Nothing unusual right?

Then a few seconds later I took this picture, look at the spirit clouds in the picture.

Don't ask me what they are. Devin will probably know.

Shaker in fine form.

By the Snake River

I would love to live next to the Snake River, like my Aunt Carol does.

She sees all kinds of wildlife, all year long.

And more snow !!!!

More snow, I love the calming effect that snow has.

More snow

Picture of the back fence after 5" of snow this morning. Everything was snowcovered and beautiful.

Taylor Mountain sunset again !!

Another sunset on Taylor Mountain

Winter frost

Frost on the apple tree.

Sunset over Taylor Mountain
