Yearly Archives: 2007
Mozart
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, the Austrian composer was born in 1756 in Salzburg and died at the age of 35 where he was laid to rest in a Vienna suburb.
This sculpture of Mozart stands in Burggarten in Vienna, Austria. In the foreground a garden has been created in the shape of a music clef with beautiful flowers in full blossom.
Castelul Bran
Known incorrectly as Dracula’s Castle, Bran Castle, built in 1377, is actually a fortress meant to guard an important pass through the mountains near Brasov, Romania. It has been one of the favorite vacation homes for Queen Maria and Princess Ileana in the early 1900’s.
Cardinal
In 1933, the Ohio General Assembly made the cardinal Ohio’s state bird. The cardinal’s scientific name is Cardinalis Cardinalis. This male and his female have been visiting our feeder and bird bath the past couple of days.
Columbus skyline
After living in the Columbus, Ohio area for 6 months, felt it was time to actually take a photo of the city. Looking East towards downtown, the Scioto River reflecting the buildings.
Girl with rose
Staring intently at the rose that was just given to her by the bride, one wonders what thoughts she is thinking. Taken recently at a friend’s wedding that Emilia and I attended.
Damaged
Freshly planted tulips that have been damaged by a late frost. They are struggling to survive, but the future does not bode well for their survival.
Pseudo Spring
Have not posted in awhile, so here is one from the archives. Black-eyed Susan, from my mother’s garden. Leaving for Romania soon, promise to post many photos soon!
Recess
This is the schoolhouse near Vulture Mine, outside of Wickenburg, AZ. Now, forget about the tree growing in front of the slide.<br /><br />Think now…think…think.<br /><br />Who in their right mind would put a metal slide in the middle of desert country?!? Guess it would be a good way to keep the kids inside studying.<br /><br />”Recess time kids!”<br /><br />”No, no, don’t make us, we want to stay inside!”<br /><br />
Shark hunting
Not sure how this little bather was able to catch a man eating shark with that little net she is holding. Taken during Memorial Day weekend in 2006 at Lake Erie in Ohio.
Glacier National Park
Morning light on Glacier National Park in Montana. Taken from on board Amtrak on my way home. Couldn’t decide on the monotone or the color version, maybe I’ll post the color one at some point.
