Over the Christmas break, my hubby (Jerry) and I traveled to the US to visit family. We spent a few days in Ontario, California with Jerry's dad, sister, and nephew. We drove out to Huntington Beach for a day. I took my camera along and found some bright California colors.
Staring at the World from My Home, Little Idaho
I went home to Idaho for Christmas this year. On Christmas Eve, my dad and I went out to Kelly Park to groom the cross-country ski trails. I snapped a couple landscapes from the snowmobile and from the skis. On Christmas Day, I woke up to an amazing sunrise and a brutally cold wind. Oh, and Santa found his way to Idaho and left me some camera equipment, a digital photo frame, and an iPad with a camera connection kit. Sweet!
Barcelona and A. Gaudi
I recently went to Barcelona for a few days and visited some of Gaudi's architectural jewels. I took a TON of photos. There are SO many to go through, edit, and and tweak. It will take me a while, but you can enjoy these in the meantime. More to come later.
What's Occurin' in Wales
In August of 2009, I took a trip to Wales. My Dad's maternal ancestors, the Ellis family, are originally from Wales, so I wanted to visit their old stomping grounds. I knew that they had lived in the small town of Llambedr for many generations, so I booked a random B&B in Llambedr for a long bank holiday weekend. When we arrived, the B&B just happened to be right in front of the church where my ancestors were buried and married. My hubby and I explored the area and visited a castle or two. I'm just now getting around to reviewing and editing the photos. Here's a few of my favorites.
Cairo
I'm finally going through hundreds of digital negatives from all the trips I went on in the past year or so. These images are from a trip I took to Cairo in October 2009. Most of the photos needed touch up work, and I played around a lot with black and white filters. I also had to go through all of the images with blue skies and remove the sand spots which appeared after a trip to the beach in Barcelona. I really need to send my camera in to Pentax to get it cleaned. Anyone want to donate a couple hundred pounds to get the inside of the camera cleaned? Here are a few photos from the trip.
