Milford Sound - South Island, New Zealand

 a dark and rainy day on Milford Sound, South Island, New Zealand
 
 
 
 Jerry with the NZ Red Ensign Flag and then it was my turn!
 
 
 
 
 
 
 we loved the mystical mood on this day, which is a typical day out here.
some get blue sky and sunshine, but not us!
 

 the rain brought on roaring waterfalls!
 
 
 brrrr...it was cold and we got wet but it was worth it.
we couldn't stay inside the boat with nature's glory before us!
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 the sides of the mountains were seeping with water.
 
 
 
 
 
 up close and personal!
and, then it was our turn...
 
 
 
 
 
 a view of the Tasman Sea lies ahead but we turn back into the sound.
 
 
 Sook Minugh...a friend on our tour comes prepared for rain!
 
 
 Bob and Sook Minugh
 
 
 water galore!
 
 
 amazing beauty!

Chicago's Skyline

After a hour's wait at Ohare International Airport we were on our way for the 45 minute flight to St. Louis' Lambert Field. I was glad to be on the left side of the plane for a clear view of Chicago's skyline and Lake Michigan - June 6, 2013.

America's Heartland

Ahhh...finally approaching Chicago's Ohare International Airport before moving on to St. Louis'.
