Random Things in Kitchen

Recently I got a new camera and so in attempt to figure it all out, I started just shooting photos. Here are random fotos from the kitchen one weekend. Meatballs I was making for dinner....not cooked yet, as you can tell. Eggs and butter ready for baking something.

My daughter enjoying the last bit of ice cream. It took me two shots to get a non blurry one. I just don't show those! Delete button is awesome!

Oh that's where I left my lens cap! I have to remember where I put it often. Just recently we were out and daughter suggested putting lens cap in my pocket! What a thought. I also need to find the little thing that attaches it to the camera. Now...where did I put it?

Covered Bridge

After we left the Wildlife Safari (see previous post) we made our way to Bandon, along Hiway 42. Hubby was driving and so I was enjoying the scenery. Along a bend I saw a covered bridge and made quick mention of it! Well, next thing I know, Phil slows down real quick. It scared me! Low and behold he pulled in to road on the other side of the bridge so I could take some photos. He stayed in the car and listened to the radio. Ok! My driver obliged me this time. Sometimes he does not.

Bridge that we drove over to get to the other side!

Pretty purple flowers across from the bridge!
Now we are back on the road again!
Next episode coming soon!

Photographic Vacation 2011

This spring hubby and I embarked on a vacation to the southern Oregon Coast. The destination was fun since there were stops along the way. Our first stop, after getting gas in the car in Albany at Costco, was Red Robin in Roseburg. Phil had won a $25 gift card from Toastmasters that he attends on Thursdays at work. That's one meal that we didn't have to pay for. It was delicious!

My burger was a mushroom burger which was so yummy!

Phil's choice was a chili burger and his need to have onion rings!

Ten miles further south then west found us at Wildlife Safari in Winston. I had a Groupon that I used. It was 1/2 price for the entrance fee. Wildlife Safari was the reason for the trip, to begin with. We added the coast for the other part, since it was so close to where we were. We'd planned this trip after getting the groupon. Then gas prices soared and it almost nixed the coast part. But we decided to go ahead with the plan since it might be the trip of the year, due to finances.
The following images are my favorites. Too many to choose from and wanted to just highlight our trip. There were so many animals. Some were hard to see due to cages. We were allowed to have our windows open and no seat belts.

These giraffes were just having so much fun together. Am thinking they were playing the mating game as well, with the neck thing, in this second photo.

Brown Bears behind electrical fence. There was one that was roaming around. The others were just relaxing. It was in the mid 70s that afternoon. I'd be chillin' too if I had fur like that.

There were 2 camels lying on the floor of this feeding gazebo. At first we couldn't figure what the big lumps were. We were looking from bright to dark. This guy was just taking the cool in.
So was this yak!

These were the rhea road guards. I was slowly driving up to them and they didn't budge. I made my way to the right and stopped. I quietly asked if we could go by. The rhea to the left made a noise in it's chest like....you have the nerve to pass! We made it ok without incident! It was comical though!

These Chilean flamingos and wood duck.were in a pond in the complex by gift shop and other areas of interest. It appears these two were kissing but not so! But a fun photo none the less!
