The final day of our adventure before the long drive south back home in Santa Fe…

6:30am shuttle up to another of the big highlights of our adventure, Moraine Lake…

After a grueling 2 1/2 days of driving from our home in Santa Fe, New Mexico…

Sadly all great adventures come to an end, but the memories will stay with us forever…

We purchased tickets up to Eigergletscher, which would be the start of our spectacular hike…

The Jungfraujoch sits high up on a rocky perch on the saddle between the Mönch and Jungfrau mountains…

We took the Berner Oberland boat across Thunersee to Interlaken West…

Realizing that we were over-ambitious in our itinerary, we decided to change up our plans a bit…

It was a beautiful sunny day and the Matterhorn was out in all her glory, always towering above…

We hightailed as fast as we could up the mountainside, but still ended up getting soaked…

Minutes later we were high above the valley starting what for us would be a very difficult hike…

We had reserved a 10:00am spot on the Téléphérique de l’Aiguille du Midi…

The train ride was the best yet as it climbed steeply up through the cloud shrouded mountains…

We dropped our bags and headed out to the medieval castle…

Today we travel to Bern. We slept in a bit as we needed a little extra rest…

I laid awake, worried about strange Bavarian creatures entering through the open balcony door…

We struggled hiking the steep mountain, while sweating profusely…

Here we return to the tradition of adventuring in the redrock canyons for my birthday…

The adventure was brought to a whole new level when our Range Rover broke down…

The storm came in fast and with great fury. The lightning began to strike close by…

We took a trip down the Eastern Sierras to the Alabama Hills to celebrate my 60th birthday…

I was giddy with excitement as the sun broke through streaming epic rays of light…

We tried stopping, but the fog was so thick that you could barely see the hand in front of your face…

I couldn’t pass up the chance to create some moody images in the gloomy conditions…

As the sun set into the light fog bank on the horizon, I tried working a bit of my own wizardry…

We got an early start and were on the beach exploring the sea stacks during the golden hour…

After leaving Yachats we continued south on the 101 and explored the Seal Rock…

With the golden hour approaching, we went down to the beach…

Along the rugged and scenic corridor of Cape Perpetua lies the mysterious Thor’s Well…

July 23rd would turn out to be one of those epic days to be remembered…

Local legend claims a pirate treasure is buried near the cove but has never been found…

The opportunity to capture a sunset at Cannon Beach is more than likely on every photographers bucket list…

From our room in Seaside we decided to take the day to explore south of Cannon Beach…

We started at the North Head Lighthouse and it was very cool! There is something about lighthouses…

Here begins the first in a series of posts to tell the tales from our 2 week trip down the Oregon coast…

There is just something about black and white photography that has a timeless and classic feel…

We had an hours drive to Yosemite National Park and a bit more to reach the location …

The plan had been set months in advance to visit one of the most popular national parks, Yosemite…

Harmony had 3 days scheduled off, so we couldn’t pass up the opportunity to get out of town…

We left Dantes View at 4pm, headed for the Mesquite Flats Sand Dunes for the Golden Hour…

The alarm went off at 5am. Brew some coffee and off we go. Up to Zabriske Point for the sunrise…

It is desolate, barren and hugely expansive, but has a beauty that I find to be difficult to put into words…

After a good nights rest we were back on the road headed for the Valley Of Fire…

Today we set out to find the home of the Ancient Ones. We followed the Trail Of The Ancients…

It had been raining and windy all night long which kept us snuggled in the Dream Island double sleeping bag…

After three days of back breaking labor getting the Utah house ready, we were up at 3:30 am…

After our late lunch we drove the east side of the lake up to a location known as Bonsai Rock…

The Old West as found in Virginia City, Nevada… With a long history dating back to the 18oo’s…

Harmony had not ever been to Lake Tahoe so I thought, what better time than now to initiate her…

Of course I had hopes for some nice sunrise light but found that the island was shrouded in fog…

Slept in till 7:30… Much needed! Oatmeal and coffee for breakfast to get a quicker start…

Up and at 'em at 6:30am… Pancake breakfast and time to get camp packed up…

Great expectations… But too darn tired! The alarm went off at 4:00am… No, I am too darn tired…

4:30am came all to quick after a mere 4 hours of sleep… It was Harmony's graduation the night before…

So it was decided…to celebrate my birthday in one of my favorite places…Moab, UT.

Here is a series from Bryce Canyon National Park. We went down for the annual Winter Festival.

Seven days in heaven…or was it just a dream. Either way, the experience was really good for the soul!

I had been waiting for this for a very long time… Precisely, I had been waiting 1 year to the day…

The text came in at 5:11 AM… “Good morning, you awake?”. I reply…”I am now. Lol”…
