10 Things To Do When Terrorist Attack During Travel

10 Things To Do When Terrorist Attack During Travel

We all love to Travel.  And we should continue to travel worldwide.  However, we must become more ALERT AND AWARE OF OUR SURROUNDINGS at all times, whether we’re at home or traveling.  It’s just another element of traveling these days. Terrorists want to make as big an impact as possible so be careful driving or walking into any place that has large crowds or anywhere that might be of historic, political/governmental or infrastructural significance.  If you can, visit at less…

Banksy Art in Park City Utah

Banksy Art in Park City Utah

Banksy, a street artist that remains anonymous has blessed Park City, Utah with one of his works.  It’s on Main Street in an alley, outside Java Cow Cafe and Bakery, 402 Main. It was created something during the 2010 Sundance Film Festival. Unfortunately, the protective glass covering it and another site were damaged by unknown vandals.  Local TV station KSL filed this report when it happened in 2014. Enjoy Utah, thanks, John  

4 Bald Eagle Acrobats

4 Bald Eagle Acrobats

Winter brings the American Bald Eagles to the wetlands of Northern Utah. A great viewing area is the Salt Creek Waterfowl Management Area west of Corrine, Utah. Be prepared for it to be wet, cold and windy.  Dress warmly. Bring binoculars, a telescope or good camera with a long lens.  It should be longer than the 200mm (too short) I used to take these photographs. Preferable, at least 300mm.  Enjoy your outing.

Being around water and listening to it has been proven to be restful and helpful to many people.  In fact, water is the only way they can relax and feel like they’re in their natural environment. Last fall I recorded this waterfall at Lisa Falls in Little Cottonwood Canyon, Utah.   Enjoy this short break from stress.    

Sedona in Winter

Sedona in Winter

We took a quick trip to Sedona to get away from the nasty inversion, cold temperatures and piled up snow in Utah.  The weather in Sedona was better than ours, but we still experienced rain and snow.  Even so, Sedona didn’t let us down.  The Red Rocks with a powdered sugar like snow on them looked gorgeous . However, with so little sunshine it was difficult to make great photos. We had hoped to spend our first night at the ARIZONA BILTMORE WALDORF…

Have You Told Her You Love Her?

Have You Told Her You Love Her?

Parents and kids!  There’s two sides here, both with the same need.  Have you told you Mom you lover her lately?  When’s the last time you told your kids you love them? Everyone needs to know they are loved!  It’s so easy to say.  It doesn’t have to be hard, just hug them and say it – before it’s too late! I have things I wish I told my parents before they passed.  I have things I’d like to say…
