While in Australia, we stopped by Yallingup Beach. It was breath-taking. I finally put a few photos of this wonderful place >> HERE Yallingup is a coastal township positioned on a hill overlooking the stunning Yallingup Beach. The coastline here is dramatic, as jagged rocks and high cliff faces are...
My photos are now posted in the gallery » HERE VALLEY OF THE GIANTS TREE TOP WALK east of Walpole, only 10 minutes from Nornalup, Bow Bridge and Peaceful Bay, in the Walpole-Nornalup National Park. The park is nearly 20,000 hectares of towering karri and tingle forests to coastal heath. The...

Cape Leeuwin is the most south-westerly mainland point of the Australian Continent, in the state of Western Australia. A few small islands and rocks, the St Alouarn Islands, extend further to the south. The nearest settlement, north of the cape, is Augusta. South-east of Cape Leeuwin, the coast of...

Just a quick movie to let you know I have uploaded a good many photos from the Kings Park Flower Festival. To see all the photos, click here, there are two pages. These are amazing flowers, so different than anything we have here in Maryland. Create your own video slideshow...
Yesterday, my son Enric brought in a caterpillar and then later Miquel came in to tell me get the camera ready, there was a stick bug on his car. Later and very enthusiastically I showed John my photos. His comment? “Nice bum shot.” I didn’t know that on the stick...
Yesterday….So Laura lays Rubi down on the pillow, and the next time we look, she is sitting straight up! They grow up so fast!
Today, our little Rubi is two months old! She is growing, eating well, sleeping nicely for her mama, and she absolutely loves to get exercise. She loves to grab your fingers and pull herself up, she smiles a lot, and she loves to practice standing on her feet.
Now that my new computer is set up, I have installed Sim City Societies and over the weekend, I enjoyed creating Lakewood A fire in the town….
Miranda took Rubi to the doctors today and she is doing great and gained 14 ounces! Rubi is a good baby, she still sleeps at night, except late nights, when she likes to keep mommy up late. She still is so strong, and likes to hold her head up and...
Now that the baby shower is over, I feel like we are all looking at Miranda like a ticking time bomb ready to go off. We’re now anxious for the baby to arrive! Seeing how she delivered Silas early, the due date of May 17th just might not be what...
Wednesday, Miranda, Laura, and I took Silas and Cameron to the zoo in DC. The National Zoo in DC is a wonder, I never get to see all I want in one visit. A gallery of all the photos taken of the extraordinary collection of animals is here » DC...
Mom handed Cameron one day a car to play with. I wondered where it came from, as it was obviously old. She told me it was my dad’s. Since it was my dad’s, the very moment Cameron wasn’t interested in playing with it, I put it on my shelf, and...
While at Heather’s to take her photos before Homecoming Dance, Cameron decided to show off his guitar skills. With this one, Jim his pop-pop figures he has shown him too many Jimi Hendrix videos on You Tube. 🙂 Oh well, at least it’s not on fire. 🙂
Laura and I played tennis the other day. The sky was an absolutely lovely fall sky. I hadn’t brought my camera with me as my usual. Then I remembered, hey, my cell phone has a 3 MP camera in it! So I pointed the phone upwards… This could be handy!
I remember the first time I ever saw glorious wildflowers by the highway, and that was while driving through the south of France to Spain. I don’t know when the highways of the United States started doing it, but in Maryland it’s been a few years and I love wildflowers...
Our hotel didn’t allow henna tattoos because they claimed that the ink makes a hard to clean stain on their interior. With that in mind, the girls decided on the last day they would get a tattoo. Laura’s…. Jenny got one with Miquel’s name… and even Donna got one! All...
Britney and Heather were in a dance recital at Downs Park. I was excited to see them dance again, and have another chance to take photos. Britney on her toes. After the recital, Laura and Heather go to the beach. The tide must have been very high, there was only...
Today I thought it is about time I started doing more scanning. Even before digital, I took a lot of photos and have two boxes full. (I should start scrapbooking too, perhaps!). Today I thought I would share some from Monistrol, Spain. From Wikipedia: Monistrol de Montserrat is a municipality...
Last night my son and his band, Embers for Ashes, played at Recher Theatre in Towson. Since I got my new 50mm f 1.8 lens for my Canon, I was anxious to get photos in these low light conditions. I was also happy to go with Jim and Heather! I...
On our way home from the plane spotting to the hardware store, John and I spotted a lot of cars over at Marley Station Mall. I quickly changed lanes and pulled in, knowing how much he enjoys cars. John unsure about the lighting, as it was nighttime, pulled out his...
Yesterday, John and I took our cameras (and his new lens) to Conowingo Dam. We had heard of eagle sightings and went for a long drive in hopes of seeing one. Conowingo Dam is rather interesting in and of itself. The Conowingo Dam (also Conowingo Hydroelectric Plant, Conowingo Hydroelectric Station)...
It’s always interesting to view your own area from the perspective of someone from somewhere else. Last October, John from Perth, Western Australia visited the USA. He was whisked out of his plane into downtown New York City by four crazy women and then we flew down Interstate 95 to...
Cammy in the cold! I really am overjoyed I get to borrow one of my best friend’s grandson each week. We have so much fun together.Cameron is a sweet and very smart little boy. With the snow hardly melting, and what ever does melt, freezes overnight…. …we took Cameron out...
Being John’s last full day, and having walked nearly as far as our legs would allow us, we spent it close to home, but again walking. Anyone who knows me even a little, knows that I love to walk and use this time for thinking, and when walking with someone,...
After nine years talking over the internet, John (or Mr Dolphin as my kids call him) is finally in the US for a first visit face to face. After he traveled a grueling 20+ hours, we (Chris, Laura, and Heather) took him to New York City! Maybe not the best...
In the past, I have taken a lot of teasing from my friends who spent summers going east with their families to Ocean City, and my family always went west to visit family in the mountains of West Virginia and Virginia. So when I finally got to experience Ocean City, they...
We had the blessing that Linda, Roger, and Kim brought Dennis, Aiden, and Conner to come spend a day at the pool with us. It’s been good to watch these boys grow and thrive. Aiden is like a charging bull, but he is so much fun. He enjoyed his day...
When Laura and I made our trip to Wisconsin, we saw an item in the SkyMall catalog on the plane for a floating light for a swimming pool. Today, as we needed something for the pool, we went to the pool store and found the same light, but for about...
For as long as I can remember now, I have wanted a digital SLR camera. Today I finally purchased a fine camera, the Canon 40D. The thing has come with 4 CD’s of software to install and 5 manuals to read. Today I took about 180 practice shots, and I...
It’s Linda’s birthday! I love my big sister. Today we celebrated. George invited all of us to The Bayou in Havre de Grace. Most of us feasted on crab cakes. They were perfection. We had a great time with little Connot and Aiden. Images of the celebration are...
Yesterday we took Jared to Ellicott City, Maryland. I thought it would be a great place for a fellow like him who likes to take photos, to take advantage of all the history and picturesque venues. He loved it. I did learn some things, for instance, I didn’t know it...
and...
