The Year in Review

click photo to enlarge		 OK, I made a calendars for Karen  last year for a Christmas gift and it turned out so nice I decided to do it again. Well, when Kodak sent me an e-mail to get one at half off I decided to do it again. So here are the photos from the last 12 months that made the 2004 calendar.

This is Bison taken in Yellowstone National Park

It was very difficult to settle on just 12 photos for the calendar also.

click photo to enlarge		 Kelso Depo in the Mojave National Preserve. This is one of my very favorite photos. The depot is in varying stages of restoration. The back side looks pretty bad.

This is one of our favorite places to take visitors to California as the missions are an important part of our history.

click photo to enlarge		 Sand dunes in Death Valley National Park. I believe Death Valley is one of out favorite parks. I had many pictures from there but wanted to have a variety also.

I had been trying to talk Karen into this vacation for about 10 years now. Even she would have to admit it was probably the most spectacular scenery either one of us had ever seen. So must so that there has actually been talk of doing it again sometime.
