Palm Springs - Long weekend trip

We went to Cabazon to see the life size stone dinosaurs and followed it up with a trip to Palm Springs over the Memorial day weekend.

There are over 800 photographs to check and edit and after an almost non stop drive back yesterday was too tired to even wake up and go do Yoga this morning.

Did a quick glance through all the photographs for one good snap to share for this post and here it is..

There were 4 hummingbirds outside the kiosk on top of the Palm Canyon parking lot. Two of them were doing aerial acrobatics and Kissing? Was lucky enough to get this shot.

and yes, finally got the 70-200mm f2.8 L to close out the camera bag! This picture was taken with that lens set to 200mm.

There are some really cute pictures of our own two hummingbirds, which will be posted later!

Let there be light.. lots of it - Photoblog

Nice nap, an hour at the park with the kids to make up for working in the morning.

Time to tune out work and get into the Memorial day spirit.

Say a prayer for military folks who make this quiet day in the park possible, fill up the gas tank, go on some local drives in the next two days. .

The mind wanders through a bunch of thoughts. . . oil dependence, oil spills, oil wars... how everyone knows what the right thing to do is but as a collective we fail!

A wise man told me recently "Sundar, commonsense is more difficult to implement than you think!"

Everyday there is a bitter realization that he is right.

Time for that optimist in me to take a different view of things?

Bisons Bisons Everywhere..

A long trip with some flying, lots and lots (days!) of driving and some amazing sightseeing!

Well, vacation is almost over and in a few hours we should be back to the old routine!

I am sure there will be many a photo/videoblog with our latest travels.

Here are some Trailer photos, from Yellostone National park.

Watching a herd of Bisons cross the river was one of the most amazing sights I have ever seen.


Waterfalls and hot springs galore


Finally the two little bear cubs..


We will have more photos and videos over the coming weekend.
