(to the tune of the air force song)
Off I go into the wild, blue yonder,
Looking hard into the scope,
Here I go ready to research cancer,
At'her boys give her the drug,
Down I delve, deeper into the problem
Off with the solution,
I live in fame of go down in shame,
Nothing can stop the Penguinator!

See you guys in 3 weeks! Enjoy the guest posters :)
If you ever want to come to Scotland, bring a rain coat and waterproof stuff. One minute it is pouring rain, the next the sun is shining and the birds are singing and the cycle goes over and over again because of the windiness of Scotland. But guess what rain and sun make? RAINBOWS!!! So far I think I have seen a total of 6 rainbows? And for the first time I saw a DOUBLE RAINBOW! It was an amazing experience :)





Here are some more photos from the trip so far, I even got to take pictures of peacocks which was immense fun :) Especially chasing them into the forest hehe.

It is sooo windy in Scotland.

It pooped.
Love this one 

I caught the sun before it went down :)

Clouds are amazing.

Lighthouses make any picture look amazing :)

That blue is soooo amazing!

My awesome cousin :)

Well tomorrow we are off to Hadrian's wall and then we have the bomber group reunion!

Wow. I forgot how much I love Scotland, and with a camera in hand I love it even more.


I love the bright blue waters, and blustery days in which your hat flies off your head.


I love palm trees in a place where there are no beaches and certainly not the weather suitable for a beach (54 degrees Farenheit)


I love the fact that I can zoom in onto a bird in flight and get a good picture of it.


I love seaweed that is strewn everywhere on the beach with many different colored rocks and shells.



I love cars with license plates in which you can make phrases out of.
(For Your Information Idiots With Much Zest)


I love windows that look like rainbows and are amazingly beautiful.


I love grass that is always perfectly cut and feels like a soft cloud.


I love tartans and bagpipes that invade the air with beautiful music.


I love thistles and the fact that Scottish people put them on anything that they can find.

I love sunflare and British flags.


I love that beautiful clocks are on everything and they even give you real numbers to look at instead of Roman Numerals.

I love a place that puts a unicorn on a prominent place on a pole. You can't get much better than that.


I love the beautiful Scottish Architecture :)

Tomorrow I am off to the Isle of Skye where more photos await me :)

Well my dear followers,
In a couple of hours, I will be flying in midair in plan headed across the pond to jolly old England. I am going in order to participate in a cause that is close to my heart. My great-great uncle served in WW2 as a pilot and was killed in action due to an overloading of his plane. Every year the 93rd bomber group which he was in, has a reunion where WW2 vets and family get together and reminsce about that time long ago, chat with friends, and go to different museums relating to the place where we travel to. This year a small group is going to Norwich England to see where the vets were stationed and to visit various mueseums containing WW2 related items. So for the next two weeks I will be in England drinking many cups of tea. Actually before I go to England I am visiting some friends in Scotland and then going up to the Isle of Sky which is a beautiful island north of Scotland. But before I board the plane I thought I would share some changes I have made to my camera/photography happiness.

After much babysitting and teaching tennis I finally have bought another camera lens. I bought Canon telephoto IS 55-200mm. It zooms sooo much better than my old one, oh my goodness. Here are some pictures I took with it.

I took this one with my new lens as we were driving.
Along with that camera lens I decided to purchase a tripod because it would help steady the camera lens. With that tripod I was able to take a lot of pictures at graduation at my church, when otherwise my camera would have never held steady enough to take a picture with the horrible lighting.
One of my great friends :)
I also am trying out Adobe Lightroom since it is an editing program that I can do while we are driving all around England. It's a nice program but a little hard to get used to, but the pictures turn out soo much better. Here is one of them.

An awesome blue orb thing :)
Last but defineatley not least, I made a cover for my camera strap. My great aunt who used to be a seamstress was in town, and I have been wanting to do it for a while, so I went over to my cousin's house and we did that yesterday morning. It wasn't too hard and I learned a lot.


My Aunt Janey :)

The fabric
The finished product!
Today is actually my Dad's 40th birthday, so Happy Birthday Daddy!

I will try and update the blog as often as I can with all of my travels. :)
