Puppy time @ Vlieland Beach!

It's the time of year again: storm, high water, newborn seal puppies everywhere......

For your ease of mind, I made my pictures using a telephoto lens, I did not come (too) close to the animals 

Getting ready for Christmas 2013

Merry Christmas Everyone!!

Hubby's new toy......

Wasatch State Park

It was a perfect day to go to the Wasatch State Park: sunshine & blue skies, lovely temperature and fantastic fall foliage! Dru, Jana & myself had tons of fun driving the buggy on the tracks in the park!

This track was really steep:

breathtaking scenery!

road? who needs roads!

Historic Wendover Airfield

I bought a new lens for my Nikon camera, a 50mm 1.8g and it is simply fantastic. I just had to play with it on board this old plane:

September 29, 2013 - Mormon Tabernacle Choir at the Tabernacle, Salt Lake City

On my things-to-do-list while in the Salt Lake City area was a visit to a rehearsal of the Mormon Tabernacle Choir in the Tabernacle Hall. The rehearsals take place on thursdays, and while there, we were invited to visit a recording of the Tabernacle Choir on Sunday that would be broadcasted later on. I just found the video on youtube which gives you an impression of the choir.

Park City: Terzian Galleries & Adam Thomas Rees Sculptures

This was on my "things-to-do-list", a drive to Park City to visit the Terzian Galleries . They sell polymer clay sculptures made by Adam Thomas Rees, one of my favourite polymer clay artists. His work is amazing!! I wish I could afford a piece, he's not asking too much considering the work done, but it's not in my budget yet. I'll keep saving.....
