Flowers in Jamaica

The flowers in Jamaica are absolutely beautiful. They look like something out of a postcard, or one of those big fancy books you find on your grandma’s coffee table. I soon found myself taking pictures of flowers during my all expense paid island adventure to Jamaica ala Reliv. And because …

A Night at the Capitol

We enjoyed spending an evening wandering around the Texas Capitol in Austin while visiting last week. It was a beautiful night and we wandered around this beautiful building taking pictures. This was one of my favorite pictures. I think there is a hallway or something underneath the glass roof in …

Christmas with Ragtime Robert

One of my favorite things about Christmas at Disneyland is listening to Ragtime Robert play at Coke Corner. In this picture, Ragtime Robert was playing a duet with a guest named Robby on a rainy December day. It was a wonderfully cozy afternoon and it just felt like Christmas. Ragtime …

Anyone Know Where This Halloween Decoration Is?

The Disneyland Resort does a fantastic job of decorating for different holidays. As Halloween is tomorrow, they obviously still have their Halloween decorations up (although Christmas is quickly invading). I took this picture a couple of weeks ago. It is a small picture of just one decoration at the Resort… …

One Lost Photo From The Road!

We’ve reached the end of our journey West. Well, we haven’t really but we are close enough that I felt I was close enough to home to not take as many pictures anymore. This photo was taken from the Dairy Queen in the hundred plus a lot degree weather. You …

Burlington Northern and Santa Fe

When I was a kid, my dad built my brother and I a little miniature train set. It was HO scale and was set up in our basement of our home in Hazelton, Iowa. If you’ve heard of that place, I’m impressed. Anyway, through the years we had several different …

The Rain Came Down

Driving back to California from St. Louis we were treated to a short, but powerful, thunderstorm as we headed west through New Mexico towards Arizona. The drive went from sunny with a few fluffy clouds and hot to storm, rainy and relatively cool within just a few minutes. The rain …

Then There Was a Storm…

As we continued moving west the clouds got darker. What was a 97 degree day turned to 71 degrees in just a few short minutes. All indications pointed towards a pretty substantial storm. Now, growing up in Minnesota we definitely had our fair share of storms. I was personally quite …

Midpoint, Texas on Route 66

One of my favorite moments as we drove across to California from St. Louis was arriving in what is commonly called Midpoint, Texas but officially called Adrian, Texas. Now, this was exciting for me because there is a special place here that was influential in part of the making of …
