# 23 Benson Sculpture Garden

 




On a Tuesday afternoon my parents and I headed to Loveland CO to check out the Benson Sculpture Garden.  When we arrived we set my camera up and started our walk.  I really liked this garden and all the sculptures including a lion, red and blue horses, a big horn sheep, a guitar, and a fox and waterfall. 

 


 


I really enjoyed this quiet garden and had fun getting out of the house and taking pictures.

# 22 Korean snacks



A couple of months ago ESPN started showing Korean baseball games since there was no baseball to watch in the US.  I watched a couple of games and thought I should get some Korean snacks to go along with the games.  So I went on Amazon and found a box of 30 different Korean snacks.  I’ve been testing all of these out my favorites were

  • Seaweed flavored crackers that were like goldfish w/o cheese.  There were multiple different sea animal shapes that were sweet and salty. 
  • I also enjoyed the choco heim and white heim which were Filled wafer cookies like Pirouettes cookies. 
  • Butter waffle cookie that tasted like an ice cream cone.

 

My least favorite ones were             

  • Shrimp crackers.  These were puffed snacks that had a strong fish smell and bad after taste.  
  • The hard candies and the Hi chews which were like taffy.
  • Prune fruit bar

 

A lot of the snacks were okay, but were different and interesting to try including

  • Coffee flavored cookies that had a good light coffee flavor
  • White chocolate torte which was a good cookie
  • Crackers that were like townhouse crackers
  • Cracker that was like a Ritz texture but sweet
  • Bourbon baum roll was a soft cookie roll with lemon flavor
  • A Cookie like a nutterbutter but with sesame seeds
  • Different Rice cakes
  • Gummy worms

Trying out all these Korean snacks was a lot of fun it was interesting and with the baseball made it a fun and interesting adventure.

# 21 Denali National Park photo galleries

Since I’ve been stuck at home I decided to look for virtual tours online.  I thought something in Alaska might be interesting to see since I haven’t been there and most likely won’t be able to visit.  So I decided to check out the Denali National Park website and their photo galleries.  Here’s some of what I found.

 

Denali (formerly Mount McKinley) is North America's tallest mountain at 20,310'

 

Landscapes in Denali and Denali Panoramas

These galleries had many interesting pictures of Denali, lakes and the surrounding landscape during the different seasons.

 

Aurora Borealis

There were quite of few photos of the Northern Lights.  This was really interesting to look at since it looks so abnormal.  I especially liked the pictures with a road and green in sky.

 

Alaskan Wildflowers

This was interesting to see the type of flowers that grow there.

 

People in Denali

These were not my favorite pictures and I’d rather see scenery instead.

 

These galleries did show Biking, Trail Hiking, Off-Trail Hiking, Volunteers and a Park Ranger in wheelchair leading a hike.

 

 Wildlife in Denali

There were Photo galleries of many different animals including Dall sheep, Moose, Caribou, Canada Lynx, Snowshoe Hares, Foxes, Bears, Beavers, Wolves, Squirrels and Porcupines

 

I really enjoyed the silhouettes of moose, caribou and sheep as well as the Wildlife in the snow.

 

 

 

I also Enjoyed looking at all the birds including grouse, ptarmigan, cranes,  geese, ducks, swans,  hawks, eagles, falcons, owls,  ravens, gray jays and more.

 

 

This was an interesting adventure, and even though it was just looking at photo galleries and not actually being there it was still a lot of fun.

 

If you want to see these galleries for yourself, you can visit this link.
