Our trip to Big Bend was full of birds we had never seen.  These gorgeous Mexican Blue Jays were very typical Blue Jays.  Very aggressive and demanding for peanuts.  The woke us every day sitting on the porch railing and chanting till we came out and fed them.

 This year for Christmas, the Zoo put up a brand new lights display.  I was amazing!   We got to go to Patrons Night while McKinley was in town for Thanksgiving.   The "treats" area was especially cute, with the Macaroons having a very special place in my heart.

 As the new year begins, we start really looking forward to our upcoming trip to Australia.

Ilonka's newest collection will be perfect for our photos.

Australia is not only well known because of it's beautiful cities but also for it's nature and wildlife. This collection is all about that. Let's go on a trip to the outback and meet all the wonderful animals.

“A wise old owl lived in an oak

The more he saw the less he spoke

The less he spoke the more he heard

Why can't we all be like that bird?”

 Last year we took an amazing trip to California.   Yosemite was definitely one of the highlights.  We arrived in the mid afternoon and thought we would just drive around and get our bearings.   There were lots of people there and parking was very limited.   We did talk to a ranger and found out there was a tram tour of the park that sounded great.  So we stopped at the Lodge and got our tickets.  On the way out we found a place to pull over and get pics of El Capitan and Horsetail falls.

These pages are made using Ilonka Jans amazing new Living Nature Collection.

Autumn season has arrived, in Europe at least, and while the trees are still green, Fall is showing itself already in nature. This mini collection is all about early Fall.

This new mini collection is on sale with 30% off until October 8.
