Remembering Our Hike In Zion

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.
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.
My Morning Coffee
I like to wake up early every morning, so I can journal and enjoy some quiet time. I think about, and give thanks for a new day and the blessings of yesterday. When I finish my writing, I treat myself to a much anticipated cup of coffee. As you can see in the photo above, I start out with a lot of milk in cup.
Next, I add extra bold, dark roast coffee. I love the flavor combination. It is a delicious moment when I take the first sip. The warmth of the cup in my hands, also fights the early morning chill. This first cup of coffee is indeed a delightful experience.
Climb Stairs and Exercise
Today while organizing my photos, I came across this one I’d taken last week at the Zilker Botanical Garden in Austin, Texas.
Later I found this photo which I’d taken in a Mission Viejo park.
After finding several more photos of stairs, I began thinking about my fascination with stairs. Continue reading
Sightseeing in Birmingham, Santa Monica, and Austin
I’ve been doing a lot of sightseeing lately. I took this photo at the Birmingham Botanical Gardens when I traveled there early last week.
I took the second photo in Santa Monica, California on a photography field trip later that same week.
I’m in Austin Texas this week visiting our son and daughter-in-law. These beautiful sun flowers were waiting for me when I arrived. This has certainly been a time of travel for me and I’m loving it.
