Saturday Photo Scavenger Hunt, September 27th

Howdy! Today's Photo Hunters' theme is view. These are a couple of photos from 1991, hence the bit of discoloration and graininess---scanned in from the photo album this morning. Can you tell where I was viewing these scenes from?
Unless you live up there or have visited yourself, you might not recognize these views. Maybe a sports fan might know the shot because of the stadium there.

I took these photos from the top of the Gateway Arch in St. Louis. I was on my honeymoon journey, and married for I think only 3 days by this point. My point of view as a person as definitely changed since I viewed these scenes in Missouri. The top picture is a view of the Mississippi River and Illinois. The second view is out the other side of the arch windows of downtown St. Louis.

Want to check out others' points of view this Saturday? Check out TNChick's blog and learn more about photohunting. ;-)

Next week's theme is sad. I'm already feeling a bit down about that.

Saturday Photo Scavenger Hunt, August 30th

Today's theme is Beautiful. This part of the country was one of the most beautiful areas I've ever visited. And maybe it was my youth when I was there, my grandiose idealism,---something---that made me just soak it in and remember it. There is something so majestic about big mountains and big sky.

This is Jenny Lake, WY, with the Tetons in the background. It's beautiful! And you can't even tell how beautiful unless you're there. This picture can't even capture it. I took this in 1994 when I was just 23. Those were the days! ;-)

If you'd like to see more beautiful images, click over to TNChick's website. What a good day to go browsing!

Next week is string or strings. That's interesting!

Happy Birthday Larry! (Today's the day!!)
