New York Military Tattoo at the 69th Regiment Armory - 2015

I had the privilege of attending and photographing the NY Military Tattoo on Saturday afternoon, May 23. Since I am of Scottish descent, this event held special meaning for me ... I felt right at home!
Here are some of the many photos taken ..

Nine State Road Trip

From April 29 through May 7, we were on the road again, this time visiting nine states:

The catalyst for our journey was an invitation to attend the wedding of my husband Eric's first cousin once removed, whom he had never met.  They connected through Ancestry.com. We were delighted to attend a real Tennessee wedding .. Fun!  The bride and groom were married in the shade of a huge old tree and we enjoyed BBQ and Jack Daniels at the reception.  Perfect!

We spent much of our Tennessee time in Franklin, learning about the Battle of Franklin which was fiercely fought there in November of 1865.  The tour guides were especially informative as we made our way through the Lotz House, The Carter House and the Carnton Plantation, site of the wedding.

 We enjoyed people watching at the indoor flea market in Bowling Green, KY.

 My husband gets to meet the most fascinating people through his job!

 We're not really Corvette people, but we couldn't pass up the Museum.  Some beauties here, as well as the poorly damaged cars as a result of the sinkhole.

 Abraham Lincoln's replica cabin where he was born is housed in the majestic building on the middle left. 

 We hit some weather in Indiana ..

 We thoroughly enjoyed our visit with my stepson Brian and his lovely fiance, Emi.  We'll see them again for the Florida wedding in October.  Looking forward to it!

Trip to Idaho and Oregon

From April 9 through 14, my husband Eric and I took a trip out West to visit his Mom and to meet up with both his sisters for the first time in many years.  It was wonderful catching up with family, and taking time to tour some of the area.  Here are a few photos from the 800+ that I took during the trip.

The hills above Baker City, OR ..

 The quaint town of Joseph, OR.  Many of the shops hadn't yet opened for the season.

 The Elkhorn Mountains, as seen from Pilcher Lake, OR

 A bucket list visit to see the Oregon Trail.  The Interpretive Center was wonderful. 

 The landscape in Enterprise, OR

 Roadside farm with a dramatic sky and young crops.

 Coming back to Baker City in the late afternoon rain.

 Small towns like this one can look spooky or they can look comforting. It depends on your viewpoint.

 A vague map of our route.  We flew into Boise and made the three hour drive up to Baker City, OR.  Joseph is another hour and a half north of Baker City. Beautiful country out there.

2015 Teatown's Hudson River Eagle Fest

We spent this frigid Winter day, Saturday February 7th, in the company of good friends, admiring the many owls, eagles and other raptors being shown at the EagleFest.  It is a celebration of the Bald Eagle's winter return to the Hudson Valley.  Teatown's EagleFest is a broad collaboration of organizations united in their goal to promote appreciation of an environmentally healthy and vibrant Lower Hudson Valley. For more info:  Please click here.  Here are some of the images from the day, captured with my Nikon D7000 with Nikkor 70-200mm VRII 2.8 lens.

Spectacled Owl

 Little "Mortimer", a tiny Saw-whet Owl who was found injured on the side of the road 15 years ago. He is blind in one eye. He is a great owl ambassador, having been seen by thousands of people. His handler, Bill Streeter of the Delaware Valley Raptor Center, expressed such gratitude to that man who took the time to stop and rescue him.
