Hidden in the Clouds

This is one of my favorite views in Zermatt. I took this in September 2002. Ironically, this was my only visit to Zermatt and the Matterhorn. I took a 2.5 hour train ride from Montreux to get here, which was such a scenic and exciting ride.

I tried all morning to try and get a shot of the Matterhorn from my balcony but it just wasn't happening. The clouds would move over too fast for my tiny camera to snap a shot. If you look very close, you can see the emerald green water flowing. I think it's simply candy for the eyes.

Zermatt is a wonderful place to visit in the summer months with so much hiking and so much to do outdoors.

Ironically the title suits me well today, as my head feels like it's going to explode. But don't feel sorry for me, I'll get over it.. Hopefully tomorrow I'll come back with a few neat photos. I'm venturing away tonight to a beautiful place.

We've Got a Surprise

Most of you don't really know what I do day to day. My job is pretty hard to explain but as easiest I can explain is that I'm a tutor and jack of all trades. I've got some free time to do other things like blogging and taking photos and trying to enjoy the outdoors. I guess it's not that bad of a gig but I won't be doing it forever because it just wears on me.

Over the weekend a little surprise came, in the form of a new bundle (not mine). Yesterday morning I was afforded the surprise of a new kitten to look after. So my little buddy Twist (he's the cute cocker) has a new friend to learn to get along with.

Unfortunately for Twist, he's getting a lot less attention right now while everyone oos and awes over this spunky little new kitten. So far it's a great kitten and he really loves to play.

Of course, everyone wants to play with him and have it's turn with him. The little addition is nice but of course for me, I have to change up my schedule that much more. And well, I like my free time off. Oh well, this is where learning to be patient and flexible works my nerves. But I'm good at faking things. :)

Here's another pic of him on top of a toy elephant. Unfortunately I didn't bring my bigger camera so the quality of the pics is really lacking. I'm sure I'll find some time this week to get a few good shots in. He's got blue eye's even which don't totally show in these photos.

Cute Surprise!

Weekend update

So it's Monday and well P and I are both back to work. I really didn't do too much more than sit at the computer all weekend, with an occasional break to go outdoors. It was cloudy and rainyish all weekend. Time flew way too fast though. I guess that always happens when you play on the computer too much.

I'm excited to keep trying a few more shots this week but I'm probably not going to have time to do that today. I'll leave you with the morning Sunrise from Montreux. In summer, the sun doesn't come up until after 9am or so from the mountains. It's beautiful though even with my tiny camera. I especially love the view of the dent du midi in the background.

Red White and Blue

Photo from Nyon, Switzerland. We were in line waiting to board the boat to Yvoire. This is Nyon's red, white and blue communal flag. Regardless, it's quite unique and nothing you see every day.
