Holiday Report

This is totally un-related to tack making, but it does explain the month of little posting during May. My boyfriend/fiancé person and myself trotted off to the USA for a much needed holiday. We took 3 weeks off and arrived in Las Vegas in time for my brother James' wedding to Jessica. Then we drove over 3000 miles on our way around about 9 National Parks: Grand Canyon, Mojave, Sequoia, Kings Canyon, Yosemite, Ancient Bristlecone Pine Forest, Capitol Reef, Bryce Canyon, and Zion. That gives you a rough idea of our route! Suffice to say we had a wonderful time, camped out most nights in our $29 Walmart tent, and have seen a couple of our must sees!







 See if you can guess where the pictures are from! The first one is rather easy....

  1. I can't say where the pics are from, but I love that second pic, it looks like a poster, and I've never soon a moon like that in the third pic! Great shots, it must have been an amazing holiday, what an adventure!!

  2. We were very lucky to be in Yosemite Valley when a solar eclipse happened, apparently it was one of the best places to be for it and we just happened to be there! It wasn't a total eclipse, as the moon was too small to completely block the sun, but all in all it was pretty cool and Andy was very cunning in getting some good pictures. It wasn't dark when this happened, it was broad daylight, and you couldn't look at it directly. He did some fancy stuff with polarisers and infinite focus, or something like that, to get the shots. We have the whole sequence, and this one was when it started to drop below the horizon.
