Courtney V Murias Sings Opera

This Wednesday past Yvonne and I went to the Church of the Redeemer to watch and listen to a good friend sing. The Church does these noon hour concerts.

Courtney sings opera. Now, opera is not something I usually go out to see or listen to. I listen to opera only when no one else is around - secret's out.

Courtney brings a whole new dimension to opera for me.

She was at one moment intense and deeply passionate and the next light and airy. It was really a stunning performance. Below is a link to her website which lists events where she is performing. Make time to go see/listen to her. I promise you will not be disappointed!

Here are some pics of the event:

Wild Horses Near Elbow Falls

Went for a hike near Elbow Falls yesterday. Needed to get acclimatized to the weather here after a couple of weeks in California. Over the years I’ve spent a bit of time looking for wild horses in the surrounding area and the best I got was about 2 miles away on the side of a mountain.

Yesterday, however, as we were coming up on the 200 cars parked at Elbow Falls, Yvonne says: “Oh look, horses!” I immediately stopped the car, got out and shot about 200 pictures. Was very cool.
