For the last three weeks I have been in the United States for my first ever holiday, meeting the people, seeing the sights, and having one of the best times of my life. Everything seems so different here and I have to admit that my camera has barely been left to rest and I think I have taken near three thousand photographs.

It is safe to say that I am being spoilt, and the list of things I have seen and done has grown to such an immensity that I can scare remember everything! In just three weeks I have visited and have the opportunities to photograph so much:

I have been to the Zoo twice to see the grizzly bears, black bears, polo bears, lions, tigers, wolves, elephants and all other creatures I’ve never seen before , and I’ve been to the museum, they had an Egyptology section and anyone who knows me will know I’ve been mad for the mummies ever since I was six. I’ve been to Buffalo Bill’s grave, Red Rocks Theater, Hard Rocks Café, the Aquarium (I liked the seahorses) , Garden of the Gods, Pikes Peak, Seven Falls (I climbed all 250 steps to reach the top of the waterfall to discover that it was then closing and the ranger had followed me up to close the gate), Cave of the Winds, Rocky Mountains, and the Grand Canyon!!!! And MORE….I’ve seen so many things; I have to be one of the luckiest people alive!!!!! The amount of animals, wild and conserved and the mountains, you’ll forgive me for being so over enthused but I had never seen mountains before! I also went to the Kool concert and saw Melanie, the Animals, and the Turtles, along with other bands from the 60’s.

Well thank you all for listening to me brag! Hopefully when I get home I will be able to post some of my images soon, until then happy drawing, shooting, writing and everything else!
