Saturday Photo Scavenger Hunt, June 21st
This first one is me and my family at Lake Michigan, circa 2006. This water was very cold, my children told me. That's my family on the left, and my aunt and dad on the right. We're in Michigan when this was taken.
This is the coast of Texas, South Padre Island. I have very fond memories of this trip playing in the water with my friends/workmates at a training conference.
This is MY water----Lake Jenny in Wyoming. It was unbelievably beautiful up there, very different from the landscape where I live. Also from 2006.This is Old Faithful, a geyser of water. The people in these two photos were with me on a high school mission trip to Dubois, Wyoming. I went as a chaperon in 1994---I was 23, a newlywed, and not a mother yet. One of my favorite memories form that trip was watching that water shoot up in the air, right on schedule, while I sipped hot cocoa on the inn's deck that evening. This last one is also In Yellowstone Park, WY, as the last one was. We were standing at an observation deck watching the power of water as it fell over a waterfall. This picture is looking down the river, and the landscape and rainbow make everything look like a fairytale. I hope to go back and see all these things again someday, taking my family with me.

I too love the last shot of the rainbow over the Yellowstone River. I have fond memories of Yellowstone from my childhood and fishing with my father. I returned about fifteen years ago (my how time flies) when I needed to get my life and head back together.
For my contribution, I chose water reflections around my floating cabin in Coastal BC. I invite you to come see. -- Margy

That is so weird. I mentioned Old Faithful on the last blog I visited.

Hello again - in answer to your question about solar halos, I see them quite often. Watch for days when there are high wispy clouds. Those have ice crystals in them. Be careful looking at the sun. Wait for it to go behind a cloud or object on the earth. Then look and you might see the halo as a ring around the sun. I see them quite frequently in Coastal BC. -- Margy
