Snow at last!

Well, as you will have guessed from the title, NYC has finally seen some snow worth talking about! We had 1.6 inches last night which brings our grand total for the season up to 2 inches - pretty pathetic when you consider that this time last year they had had well over 12 inches.

Still, beggars can't be choosers, so the camera came out this morning and I got a few shots. Hopefully there will be a better snow storm soon and I can get to Central Park for some photos!

So I have a bit going on at the moment, most of which you probably already know.

March

I have a trip to Niagara Falls with my friend Gayle and her mum
Finish work with the UN

April

Mel is coming to visit and we are planning to fly to Las Vegas for a couple of nights
We are also going to hire a car for an overnight trip to the Grand Canyon
Mid April, I have a 3.5 week trip in Peru & Bolivia with my friends Wendy and Amanda
While in Peru, I will be trekking the Inca Trail!

May

I return to the UK and start back at work with Thompson Taraz

Phew! I will be exhausted by the time I get back to the UK!!

Oh yeah, and then in August, my parents and my brother Phil and his wife Kylie are all coming over to visit - but that is another story for another blog! I got to survive getting back to the UK first!!

Full Moon

There was a full moon tonight, so I thought I would try to get some shots. It was a perfectly clear night, however my lenses were not quite powerful enough so the photos aren't great. However these are a couple of shots that I think are not too bad!



New York City Sunrise

Sunrises are just about perfectly timed at the moment for when I get up in the morning. This was taken this morning from my apartment.

Christmas in the UK

I have just returned to New York after spending a week in Kent, UK for Christmas.

Many thanks to my friends Gayle and Mick for allowing me to stay with them and share Christmas with them.

Here are some photos from the trip.
