"Imagination is more important than knowledge."

Albert Einstein

Hubby and I love to travel.  Below are photos from various trips. Those of me were taken by hubby.

Here I am in Athens, Greece. Yep, that's the famous Acropolis in the background. Hubby and I had a blast driving around Greece, especially when there was a petrol strike and we thought we'd never find gas for the rental.

Okay, so here's me with a goofy grin, stomping around Napflio, Greece. Just can't keep me away from those ruins!

Causeway Coast in Ireland. One of my mother countries. It's as green as New Zealand and the people are wonderful. We even found my ancestors' cemetery.

Here I am in Pompeii, Italy. One of my favorite excavation sites. I just love dead societies. Hmm. Does that reveal anything important about me? That's Vesuvius volcano in the background.

Hilo, Hawaii. Land of some of hubby's relatives. I'm standing on a giant lava flow. Yeah, I have a thing for volcanoes.

This is a photo of White Mountain, New Zealand that I took from our helicopter window. We landed and walked around this active volcano with all the sulfur gasses and volcanic steam vents. I loved it!

Seward, Alaska. We toured Anchorage then drove to Seward for a few days. I have a cousin who lives here--lucky woman!

Stonehenge, England. A mother country for both hubby and me. I'm messing around with dowsing rods provided by our tour guide. They spun in my hands. Probably some kind of magnetic field in that area. It was eerie and fun. And damn cold!

Digital photography and astronomy are other hobbies I dabble in on occasion.

*One of the most interesting saguaro I've ever seen.

 

*Den used by various desert animals, probably coyote.

 

 

This cute little gecko decided to take a swim and had to be rescued.

 

 Roadrunner at Karchner Caverns near Tucson. It was snowing that day. Poor thing looks cold.

 

This baby rattler graced us with its presence one night. I couldn't see a thing through the lens so I'm glad I actually got a shot of him/her.  

 

 

 

I took this lunar eclipse photo from my backyard, without the aid of a tripod or telescope. www.spaceweather.com was kind enough to publish it on their website.

 

Prickly pear cactus in one of our washes. Found all over our desert. Make yummy candies and jellies.

 

Saguaro with moon in background. A typical sight here in the desert.

 

The famous and majestic Superstition Mountains. 'Nuff said.

 

Gambel's quail. Very common in our area. I believe this one is male.

One of our brilliant desert sunsets. They come in several colors. This one reminds me of orange sherbet.
