2nd post on Saturday, April 14...




Look at this!  I did it!  This picture was taken in 2010 on a trip to Oregon.  The plane I'm standing by is the same type my dad flew in in WWII.  There were a limited amount of pictures to choose from which is why this isn't more current.  I'll have to find out why.  These planes go all around the country making appearances.  I just happened to be there when they were in Medford.  My brother knew about them coming it was really fun seeing them.  The plane is a B-24 Liberator.  My dad was a bombardier his favorite position was the ball turret which is very small.  I learned more about his service while viewing the planes.

The photography hike did take place.  It was fun, interesting & I really needed the outing.  We were on Healdsburg Ridge where I have been before but we took a trail I had not been on before.  The photographer leading the hike was young (25-30 maybe), very helpful, took time to chat, answered questions, was encouraging to all of us.  I enjoyed myself as none of my friends have any interest in photography.  I had no idea when I bought my camera that I would enjoy photography as a hobby.  When I'm out & about I almost always have my camera with me.  I've learned that you never know when you might see something you want to take a picture of.  For me it is really fun.  It also makes you stop to really look & see.

Okay I've chatted on long enough.  I'm going to go watch a movie.
Happy reading, take care,
Donna M
