Zion, one of My Favorite Places to Vacation

Zion National Park is one of our favorite places to spend vacation time. It’s especially wonderful when we share it with family and friends. Above you can see our younger grandson, as he watches the Virgin River flowing by.

We did some great hiking and saw many beautiful sights.red-rocks

This is our third visit to Zion National Park. Each visit is different, yet wonderful in its own way. Last year it was rainy, which gave the mountains a mystical appearance. This year it is sunny.  Mid 70s during the day and high 40s at night. Perfect sleeping weather.
If you would like to see photos from our previous visits to Zion, please go to the front page of Plum Bird Corner and type Zion in the Search box. If you’ve never been to Zion National Park, you must add it to your vacation bucket list. You will not regret it.

 

Photography using the Kaleidoscope Setting

More-kaleidoscope
I took this photo of my red geranium with my camera’s kaleidoscope setting. Can you tell? I took this photo using the kaleidoscope setting, once again. It has been a busy day, starting with aqua aerobics and tonight I begin my guitar class. I am excited, but a little nervous as well.
In between I was out in the garden pruning and fertilizing my geraniums.

Our Pinata climbing rose is one of my favorites. It is so colorful and I can’t resist taking photos of it. I better go now and get ready for my guitar class. Will let you know how it goes. Wish me luck.
