In case, like us today, you want to mentally run away...we present North Cascades National Park. We hope you are as dazzled by her as we were! #nationalparks #NorthCascades youtu.be/A7TQWieSCXE

New Video! We love our National Parks and love discovering new ones! Join us today for North Cascades National Park! Youtube.com/watch?v=A7TQWieSCXE

For some odd reason, no matter where we travel, I find a lizard. Many times in places where you would never expect to find them! Do you have any bird, insect or critter that turns up wherever you travel? #wildlife #travel #photography

Have you been to Leavenworth, Washington? This town reinvented itself into a wonderful Bavarian themed spot to visit. A way to save the town from dying and provide for people living there and passing through. Such a fun place to visit right in the middle of some really gorgeous mountains! #Travel

Coeur d'Alene Idaho. We've made a couple of films about this town and have just scratched the surface. The lake is, of course, the focus but there's wonderful public art, lots of hiking trails, camping, even an Amusement Park! Even the weather is lovely. #Idaho #Travel

San Francisco was fun. As with the other "California is a hellscape" rumors out there, this City is actually proof that it isn't even close to a hellscape. We used Uber (cheaper than parking) and it was great. Three days and nights of simply wonderful time exploring. Highly recommend! #Travel

Pier 39...is it touristy...sure, but that doesn't mean it can't be fun! We visit about every 5 years to see what's changed and grab great food while we are there. Highly recommend! #travel #SanFrancisco #California #photography

In San Francisco for a few days. Won't get to see much, at a conference, but I've always loved the City. Don't believe all the negative ,there's still so much positive here too! #SanFrancisco #travel #photography

Sneak peek at an upcoming video and a reminder that our Forestry Service, who just lost a chunk of their workers to lay offs, maintains gorgeous views like this one. I was taught at a very young age that we appreciate, preserve and protect our public lands. #resist #protect #preserve #wildspaces

Have you ever been on a Riverboat Cruise? I've been down the Danube, on Lake Tahoe as well as on Lake Coeur d'Alene on the "Osprey"...and I've loved each and every one. Tell us which river or lake cruise you have been on that we simply must book! #travel #cruise #Photography #Idaho

You all know what the National Park system means to us. Be kind this year if you visit. They were already understaffed before the gutting this past week. Pack your own trash, clean up after yourself and others. We will hope the Courts can fix this one too. #nps #nationalpark #ProtectOurParks

"Firefall" in Yosemite is an amazing sight. It's the sunset refracted through a mist of a waterfall and it needs very particular conditions to happen ONLY during the last two weeks of February. Go during the week,weekends require reservations. It's WORTH it! #NationalPark #Travel #Firefall #Yosemit

In case you missed it...NEW VIDEO! If you are starting to plan your Summer Adventures then this may be the place for you to go! We are fairly fireworks jaded and we were DAZZLED! #Travel #Photography youtu.be/z7u66xxworY

Happy Valentines! This was our first Big Trip for our YouTube Channel. We knew then it would be our Second Act. We fell in love 40 years ago and can't wait to do this work full-time together on the road. 🥰 #Valentines #love #travel #photography

New Video! One of THE places to go see fireworks on the 4th! Check these out before you book your next Summer trip! youtu.be/z7u66xxworY

The rains are here on the Central Coast. Soon this creek will be full again and look exactly like this. There's something about the bare branches of Winter with the Spring Green and all that water that feels romantic. Welcome Spring! #Monterey #Spring #Rain #Travel #Photography

How far do YOU plan your vacations in advance? 3 months? 6 months or more? We are making plans for NEXT Summer already...that's how we roll. Tomorrow's video is for those of you planning for the best spot for the 4th of July. Cute otter just for the cuteness factor! #Travel #Holidays #Photography

While most of us are freezing and waiting for nice weather, those in Joshua Tree National Park and in Death Valley NP are enjoying the cooler temps. It gets WAY up in the temps starting in April so NOW is the time to hop over and enjoy this amazing location! #NationalPark #Travel #Photography

"They" say that you know you are old when you pick up Bird Watching as a new hobby. So what does it say about you if you've been bird watching since you were 9? I love the colors, textures as well as the graceful, and sometimes not so graceful, movements of them. Do YOU love birds? #Birds #Monterey

The Petrified Forest. No, not the one in Arizona...this is California! In Calistoga (Wine Country!) there is a wonderful little stop where you can take a short hike and discover some really cool, and beautiful, petrified wood. The Petrified Forest is totally worth the stop if you are in the area!
