January photo month roundup!

Posted in photography on February 4th, 2010 by Cathy — Be the first to comment!

We had a lot of fun picking photos for photo month. I had a good time strolling down memory lane looking at old photos from my travels to Mexico and Asia. I hope you enjoyed it as much as we did.

Here’s a roundup of our photos. Click on the thumbnail to view it larger. (Adobe Flash is required.)

Flower garden – Thailand

Posted in photography on January 30th, 2010 by Cathy — Be the first to comment!

A few summers ago we went to Thailand. Our tour took us to Bangkok and Pattaya. We visited a flower garden and I was awed by this rock sculpture fountain.

Model in training

Such a little diva! I love how she’s looking over her shoulder and the tiny smirk.

Yelapa, Mexico

Posted in photography, travels on January 28th, 2010 by Cathy — Be the first to comment!

This is one of my all time favorite photos. We were on a day trip to Yelapa, Mexico and were allowed time to wonder the beach and we came across this pile of rocks. What caught my eye was that someone had stacked up a few on the right. It only took seconds for me to pull out my camera and find the right angle. The boat in the back balances the stack of rocks perfectly.

Minneapolis light rail

Posted in photography on January 27th, 2010 by Cathy — Be the first to comment!

This is the Minneapolis Light Rail. It was the middle of the afternoon and amazingly there was not a person in sight! I just love the way the the blue of the buildings are reflecting off the train.

Vietnam market full of fresh fruit!

Posted in photography, travels on January 26th, 2010 by Cathy — Be the first to comment!

This photo makes me want to hop on a plane today and head to Vietnam. The markets are full of fresh food, this is one of the may isles of fruits. It just makes my mouth water thinking about the logans (nhan), rambutan (chom chom), green dragon (thanh long), mangosteen (mang cut) and many more! Learn about the different fruit available in Vietnam here.

Rain? That’s not going to stop us!

Posted in photography, travels on January 25th, 2010 by Cathy — Be the first to comment!

Vietnam is known to have two seasons – dry and rainy. We just happened to be visiting during rainy season and were amazed at how well everyone got around during downpour! It seems they’re use to it because in a blink of an eye everyone went from not wearing the rain covers to having them on. Lucky for us, that day we were in a taxi!

The Guthrie Theatre

Just a bike ride away from my house is the Guthrie Theatre. The bright bold color of the building really stands out against the green of the park and the blue sky. The clouds were a bonus!

Another view of the Mississippi River and the University of Minnesota. Can you tell this was taken on a freezing day last February?
