Coming Home

Boy have I been traveling! ! !

I started this year out by going to Jamaica, then San Diageo, Cal; then to Italy; then to Spokane, Washington, then to Costa Rica,  We return from out trips on Aug 1, 2015 and Boy! does it feel good to be home.  We only had a few days in between each trip and on 3 of the trips we were gone as long as three weeks each.  But it was fun and not something I want to do again.  My husband and I took over 3 thousand photos that we actually kept.  Several of the trips were for mission work:  Italy, Costa Rica and Jamaica or combination of vacation and mission work.  The weather there in each of the places was much better than here. 

I got to see several different animals/birds that I've never seen before and do a few things that I will probably never do again.

While traveling I read some material on how to set up blinds and How to get photos of wildlife I would love to do this. 

Now that I'm back I plan to get into photography more than I've been in the past but I've got to learn to control my time.  It seems I never have time to just plan a photo session and follow threw with it.  I have some beautiful birds flying in my backyard that I would love to get pictures of especially this Redheaded Woodpecker and the hummers are really thick right now and I know how to set up for both-I just need to do it. 

I plan to go to Michigan for the Fall.  I hear it is beautiful there during the Fall and we have family and friends there so we should be there for at least a week which should give me plenty of time.  Thanks goodness for our friend Terry who stays at our house and takes care of our dogs while we are gone.  There would be a lot of things we could not do if it wasn't for him being able to take care of things for us.

I also plan to go to Dallas, Tx next month--Boy I really have become a world traveler.

Well I must go and I do hope to see you out in the "Wilderness" soon.
