Fallen Star

Its been a while since I have posted a new Picture.  I am back now! 

This flower reminds me of a fallen star!  I took this Photograph at night and the flash just made the colors so vibrant.  Its quite amazing how even during the night there are so many wonderful things to be found!

Serenity

 Tranquility.  So serene.  A feeling of inner calm.

Driven

Such a bold little guy. Every time you see a squirrel they are constantly in search of something. Such Motivation! So ambitious!

Nothing but flowers

Simple. Beautiful. Silent.

Peaceful Beach

Love the Beach! Such a good day. 

Rose

This rose intrigued me. I love the coloring!

Cheerful Yellow

Today was typical Washington weather.  Cloudy and rainy but even among all the grey skys there's always a bit of sun shine.

Deep in thought

Watchful Creatures.  Sociable.  Such a joy to watch these clowns with their love of life.  So excited for the future! I intend to fully enjoy these amazing animals. 

Flowering Fence

Flower Fence! Perfect urban landscape.

Singing away in Seattle

I love this! This man was so happy! Just singing away.

Clock Tower

There is something about a Clock Tower.  Lonely. Watching as time goes by.

Beautiful Rainbow

I took this yesterday!  Such a Beautiful Rainbow.

                                                          When I look at the Rainbow
                                                          You placed Just so..
                                                          All those who believe in you
                                                          Can remember all your promises are true

Spring is on its way!

The new growth is coming up! and the Bugs are out.

Italian Art and Love

I absolutely LOVE this!  This was inside an Italian Ristorante that my husband took me to!  I fell in love with this painting.

Photography is Fun

My little sister and her Nikon CoolPix camera! Checking to see how her Photos are turning out!

Seattle Horse Carriage

I like going to Seattle.  I enjoy watching the Horse Drawn Carriages pass by.

Ladybug

Spring is definitely on its way.

Graffiti Garages in Tacoma

Something a little different. You'll either love it or hate it.

Raindrop

I caught this raindrop just as it was about to fall from the leaf.

Cant upload Photos

According to twitter.  Blogger is having technical difficulties and photos can not be uploaded.  They are working on the issue.  Hopefully they get things resolved soon!  Its very sad that I cant upload any photos right now.

So beautiful!

How I so long to pet you!  I love these gorgeous creatures.  They seem to have such a majestic quality.  I can't wait for the day that I get to play with and pet one of these impressive Cats! 

The Spanish Steps

The Spanish Steps in Tacoma, Wa.  Modeled after the famous Piazza di Spagna ( Spanish Steps ) in Rome, Italy.

Red Rose

A little selective coloring! I think I will frame this one and hang it in my bedroom somewhere.

Daffodils

Spring is here again!

"Supermoon"

This picture was taken at Midnight.  Unfortunately, I missed the best time to view the Supermoon which was when the Moon was closest to the Horizon.

                                                                                                                                                                

This second Photo really did not come out. I still think it's pretty cool.  This photo was taken about 12:30.
 As you can see, the moon was so bright in the sky. It was so light out that it really did not feel like it was midnight.                                                           

Furry Friend

We get so attached to our animals.  Our lovely little Sassy will be 16 next month and you would never know it to look at her.  She was starting to get a little irritated with me for taking pictures of her.  So this is all I have of Sassy for now.

The Great Heart of the Timpanogos

Deep in Utah's Wasatch Mountain Range is the Great Heart of the Timpanogos.

 First, you must take a mile and a half hike completely uphill. Quite a hike! It took us about an hour. At the top, there are three beautiful caverns decorated with helictites and anthodites. 

Water gradually and slowly seeps through the air filled caves creating over time many wonderful formations. There are a total of 30 pools of water and underground lakes. Also, there is a Canal that looked like an underground riverbed. 

The Park Rangers asked that we carry our Backpacks in front so that we would bump into the walls.  There were so many passageways! Some were so low and small that you almost had to do some Cave crawling!

There are a few cave dwellers which can be easily over looked. Cave spiders, centipedes, and crickets live here.

                                                                       Here are the Soda Straw Stalactites which seem to defy  gravity.

Architecture

Everyone knows that Architects have so many regulations that they have to follow.  They have to meet with contractors, talk to clients, building programs and design guides. Making models and pouring over plans. They must talk to the community representatives.  There are agreements and contracts.  Do they really take a moment to look and reflect on the design?  Architecture is a very societal art.
