Taking Trips

Bumps

2007-04-06T14:00:00.000-07:00

Two years ago when my nephew graduated university in Pullman, Washington we flew into Spokane and rented a car for the weekend. We then had to drive down to Pullman. The whole trip consisted of these crazy hills which were more like bumps all the way there. Living in Wisconsin most all of my life, I'm quite used to rolling hills, but this was different and my brother had a special name for these hill and for the life of me I cannot remember. I'll figure it out and let you all know.

City of the Dead

It's very easy to get lost in here. Always best to go with a guide.

Gone Fishin'

2007-03-29T11:19:00.000-07:00

Obviously, this fisherman did not take care to clean his net well. There is a sea lion trying to retrieve fish still caught in it. This was in the evening.

Sea Lions

2007-03-29T11:08:00.000-07:00

I took this pic early in the morning in the fishing village of Crescent, CA. Every morning ,Steve and I would get up and walk across the street form our hotel and watch the boats get ready to go out and these sea lions were there morning and night.

Redwoods

2007-03-29T11:04:00.000-07:00

It's like you're standing in some prehistoric time and you're just waiting for a pterodactyl to round the corner.

Steve and Redwood

2007-03-29T10:50:00.000-07:00

This gives you ans idea of just how big these awesome trees are.

This was part of the coastal highway going into California.

Pacific Coast

2007-03-29T10:07:00.000-07:00

This is the pacific coast going down from Oregon to Northern California. It's so different from the Atlantic or at least what I've seen from the Atlantic which is mainly Florida. I was amazed.

English Pigs!

2007-03-27T17:50:00.000-07:00

Ginormous pink pigs as we were traveling the countryside in England. I've never in my life seen such huge pigs.

My Rievaulx Ghost

2007-03-27T16:51:00.000-07:00

Again Rievaulx in York. This is my ghost. I've got two photos of this and when I took the picture that light ray was not shown through my lens. When I got the prints back, we were amazed.

Rievaulx

2007-03-27T16:47:00.000-07:00

Still part of Rievaulx. These ruins were tucked down in a little valley with a small little village right next to it. What a place to live!

Abby Rievaulx

Abby ruins in York, England. It was an incredible feeling standing in amongst these ruins. This was taken in spring of '01.

Stonehenge

2007-03-27T11:22:00.000-07:00

This is one of my favorite pictures. I took this in November of 2000. The first time I went to visit my now husband in his homeland. He knew I would connect to Stonehenge and I did.
