Squamish, BC Eagle

Enjoying the start of Winter for us up at Whistler, and glad we don't have to work as hard for our dinner as this guy

Olympic Peninsula

We enjoyed a quick weekend trip to see the parents on Washington's beautiful Olympic Peninsula.


The Sol Duc river in the Olympic National Park.


Rialto Beach had some fun wave action

The color changed quickly and dramatically at Second Beach - first of 4 shots over 30 minutes

Florida Sunrise

In Hollywood, Florida for a conference. When we arrived it was raining HARD, the front end of what was briefly Tropical Storm Nicole. After the storm moved through, we enjoyed nice, warm (and humid for us) weather.

This morning's sunrise:

Fun Clouds in Seattle

Driving home from work there was a nice cloud cover with intense blue sky peeking through.

Lake Washington Stormy Rainbow

This would be the first summer we can recall in Seattle where it rained on Memorial Day, the 4th of July and Labor Day - this seemed like a fitting end to strange weather summer this year.

Okanagan BC

Having a great time in Kelowna - some hiking and wine tasting and dinner at one of the best restaurants we've come across thus far in our travels, RauDZ. Can't recommend it highly enough, everything is fresh & local, and perfectly prepared.


While they look great and taste good at this stage, they get even better at the hands of Okanagan winemakers!

Banff - Day 10

Updating the blog from Kelowna, BC. Woke up early to do the 7 hour drive, which was extended for some photo opportunities. The morning was mostly raining, at times hard, which led us to waterfall shots. Turned out to be a terrific day for those.

This likely concludes the photo portion of our trip - we hope folks enjoyed seeing glimpses of our trip as much as we enjoyed sharing!
