Jersey - Channel Islands

Toward the end of May, Linda and I went to Jersey, not New Jersey but in the Channel between France and England. On this trip Linda and I bicycled from town in front of the bay across the island to the Light House. We rode our bikes for about four hours. The next day Linda and I went on an hour and half hike. Here are some of the pictures.

Paris in the Spring

Hi, here are some pictures from Paris in early May. Linda and I went to Paris for our wedding anniversary. We took a dinner cruise down the Seine river. It was very nice. In the very near future, I am going to being adding more pictures to Picasa for your viewing pleasure. Jessica recommended I upload a lot more pictures. I will post the location for your viewing shortly.

Springtime in Harrogate

Here is the beautiful springtime flowers we had the pleasure of seeing. First flowers blooming in the springtime were the crocuses. They were everywhere and the flowers were as think as a carpet. The purple and white was beautiful. Next came the daffodils. They were also everywhere. Then we saw the tulips and then the beautiful blooming trees. The Valley Gardens across from our flat have been beautiful.

Harewood House

Hi, back again, trying to catch up. Here is a place which is halfway between us and church. We pass by it all the time. They are always having events on their grounds. We finally went here when Linda's mom was here in April.
This is the Harewood house.
