Remembering Spring........

..... in Christchurch, New Zealand.

A memory of our first trip to Christchurch was one of shock and sadness as we viewed crumbled buildings and devastation beyond imagination, everywhere we traveled, caused by multiple major earthquakes that hit the Christchurch area several years ago.   

Our last trip to Christchurch was filled with the beauty of spring, renewal, and the tenacity and determination of the wonderful people living here who are rebuilding their homes, their city and their lives.

More Characters Welcome!

Every year I tag along with Jeff who attends a variety of car shows.  (Judging shows, and restoring and showing muscle cars are his hobbies.)  I find watching people much more fun than car watching, and I often find that the women are more interesting than the men.  In anticipation of a car show we will attend in Las Vegas this weekend, here are some interesting women I photographed at previous shows.

Characters Welcome Today

This 'character' was sitting in front of a busy sidewalk in a park in New Zealand.  It was fun to watch the pedestrians do a double take when they caught a glimpse of him.

FAMILY TIME

We've spent the last two weeks in southern Utah and Arizona, visiting friends, children and grandchildren, RZR riding on the sand dunes, watching our grandson's soccer tournament, having picnics, more RZR riding and enjoying beautiful spring weather, (which is why I have been MIA here.)  We have now returned home to winter weather.  It has been a long winter, but I know that spring in northern Utah is just around the corner and well worth the wait.  It is a glorious time of year and I can't wait to photograph the spring flowers we have in abundance.

Here is what I will be looking at on my Desktop for the remainder of March.  Feel free to CLICK HERE, to download to your desktop.  Share with family and friends but please don't use for commercial purposes.
