Why we like our scenery shots...

I have added in the posting above a slideshow with some of our favorite "scenery" shots from vacations we've been on. I like all of these shots because they are so physically beautiful. I have to give Kevin credit; I think he actually was the photographer on all of these, though I was always close by offering my "artistic" advice. :)

I love the pictures of the California coast--they seem like professional pictures to my amateur eye. I included the picture of the Neptune Pool at Hearst Castle because that is one of Kevin's favorites. The Alaskan sunset picture is one of my favorites because it has some of my favorite colors -- cool blues and purples -- which are very soothing to me. The pictures of the old homes in Georgetown, TX capture two things: first, one of the things we like to do when we travel, which is to explore the "real life" wherever we are; and second, my obsession with old homes (I love HGTV!!). Hopefully the pictures of the Nauvoo Temple in Illinois and Mt. Rushmore speak for themselves...what more can I say?
