Vacation photos

Amazing photos, roses. I love sand dunes, grand sweeping waves of endless sand and all.

Incidentally, I do play an instrument (violin), though I got out of the habit during the summer and am having a really hard time trying to fit it back in. How unfortunate and ironic that this happened during the summer I went to music camp.

gamergirl, that's a side of Florida we never see!

Roses, I came thisclose to going to Death Valley the first time I went to Vegas, but the 2 girls I went with whined till I dropped the idea, and I've always wished I had done it anyway!
agamergirl, sometimes the best scenery is up in the sky!

Haejin, it is ironic that you found it difficult to sqeeze time in for your violin during a summer music camp. When things settle down a little for you, though, I'm sure you'll pick it back up. I'm sure you miss playing.

Agamergirl, sunsets/rises are extraordinary, especially when there are large clouds to help display the brilliant colors. Having the palms in the foreground is icing on the cake.

Queenie, you would have loved Death Valley, and if you're ever out in that area again, I encourage you to go. Here's another view of the harsh environment with a Borax twenty-mule team wagon in the foreground.



The Manson Family spent some time in Death Valley and an old man living in a trailer in the desert told us this was Charlie's truck. Whether it's true or not, I have no idea, but the guy spun a good tale about Manson.



And here's a little dreamhouse that can be bought for a dime...literally. Note, it needs a little work, but aren't the bunnies cute on the door.

Roses, I love that last one! Don't know if I'd want one that has to be fixed up that much.

I took a four day trip to Munich for the long weekend to visit my sister, who is studying abroad in Paris. I'm just learning how to post photos and will post a couple more later, but here is a photo from our day trip to Salzburg, where we took the Sound of Music tour:

That is pretty, Missyboxers.

What absolutely gorgeous photos everyone! Meowza! Impressive for sure! Oregon, Death Valley, Yellowstone, New Hampshire, The Great Lakes.

Agamergirl: Fabulous shot!

missyboxers: Saltzburg is wonderful. Did you go and see the cemetary where the family hid from the Germans in your Sound of Music tour? That is way cool. I really enjoyed wondering around the old town as well.
