Tuesday Photo Challenge – Anticipation


There were plenty of anticipation in 2018

From heading to China to visiting Bryce Canyon

to hiking Sardine Peak

to seeing a brilliant sunset on Antelope Island

to take a solo trip to Capitol Reef (despite everyone was advising against it)

and to patiently anticipating my next hike in 2019.

Catching people unaware – Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge


One way for a landscape photographer to catch people unaware: aim the camera higher than the height the people are standing or you can do what I do – go to a crowded place (like the City of Phoenix in China) and I can guarantee you can catch someone unaware.

Tuesday Photo Challenge – Tranquil


When I think tranquil, I think calm waters.

When I think tranquil, I also think spending a few hours watching animals live their lives.

Photo of the Day!


Here is a look from my third hike this year – the hike that probably brought new fears to my life and had the most impact on my hiking experience even though I can most definitely blame myself for wearing poor traction shoes on this hike. Continue reading “Photo of the Day!”

Lens-Artists Photo Challenge: Splash


I absolutely love water photography and take every chance I can get to photograph it. This picture is from my most recent trip to Bear Lake. It was my second time to visit this beautiful lake. My first time was in September. This time, I came with my mom and her friends. I was once again the navigator.

There we were standing on the beach and just as I was about to take some pictures of the water since I didn’t get many great pictures the first time, our friends decided to skip stones. He’s quite good at this.

This is his son’s attempt. His son basically picked up a big ol’ rock and threw it into the water. The rock landed with a loud plop.

Which Ways to Bear Lake Again?


When my mom called my former student’s mother, aka her friend, last Saturday, I knew this Thanksgiving would be similar to last year’s Christmas – we would be spending the day with my former student’s family. Continue reading “Which Ways to Bear Lake Again?”

Funny – Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge


I went on a day trip yesterday. It wasn’t to any place new. I went to Bear Lake back in September, during Labor Day weekend. The only difference this time was I wasn’t the one driving and we went all the way to Montpelier, Idaho. Along the way, I saw an abundance of bear statues. I’m guessing it’s to honor the name of “Bear Lake”.

This cute bear statue was outside the restaurant we had lunch at in Paris, Idaho. I took this picture after everyone went into the restaurant. I can never resist a bear with that smile. 🙂
