Japan!

My parents and my sister and I just got back from Japan. (As in less than 24 hours ago…) And I thought I would put my favorite pictures from the trip (which was hard seeing how there were hundreds of pictures I took) here. This was my first meal in Japan. And we had to…

Super Moon

Sunday was the Super Moon. And ever since I read Anne of Windy Poplars I have been in love with full moons. So of course I had to snap a picture or two…and here are some of them. Here is just the moon. Here is a shot from the East side of our property. And…

Pamplona, Spain

The main reason we went to Spain was to go to Pamplona for the Running of the Bulls. Here the three of us are waiting to watch the other three in our group who are running with the bulls. This is how my sister filmed the race. There were people on the fence and people…

Spain part 1

We went to Sunny Spain. And since I am short on time today, I am splitting this into two posts. One of the main things that we did in Barcelona, Spain was to go to Park Guell. It was a fun place to walk around. I thought there were just some interesting lines around the…

Ireland

We had a couple of hours in Ireland. And look at the great place that was our first stop: We went to see Trinity College and look at the Book of Kells. Besides seeing that great book, we got to see the library. And I am sure you all know just how much I drooled…

The Isle of Man

The whole reason for going to Europe this summer was to go to the Isle of Man. This is a place where my ancestors came from and it was great to see so many wonderful things. And this is the part of the trip where all 26 of us were together. So much fun! This…

Scotland!

The second part of our trip was in Scotland. And there was a lot to see that was amazing…so I struggled narrowing down the pictures to share. But here are some of my favorites. This is overlooking Loch Ness. And we of course had to actually go on the Loch. And my ancestors are Scots…

England

I recently went on a vacation. And of course I took a million pictures and wanted to share some of the with you all. And since it was one of those vacations where you go loads of places, this is just the first little bit of what I am sharing. (Yup, more to come…) Our…

Taking Pictures at Night

So while near Death Valley we wanted to try taking some pictures of the night sky. Especially since there aren’t any big cities nearby, so it would be great with very little light pollution. Granted, I am not a great photographer. And night photography is super hard (as I am learning). However, you can see…

Death Valley

Over Thanksgiving break there were so many things that we did. But one of my favorite places that we did was to go to Death Valley. It was beautiful. But don’t just take my word for it. Check out these pictures. See? Isn’t it pretty? I think I should go back someday, just so I…
