Phu Quoc Sunset

Catrineta in Carvoeiro

March 2nd, 2021 Today we’re continuing our wander through the Algarve with a stop in sunny Carvoeiro. We LOVED our two-night stay here at Algar Seco Parque, located on the cliffs overlooking the ocean.

Winter Sunset

February 22nd, 2021 After yesterday’s Heavenly ski day, we’re wrapping up our Lake Tahoe visit with a golden winter sunset. On an afternoon such as this one, Lake Tahoe’s placid surface and deep clarity make for multi-layered reflective photos.

Indonesia Intermission

November 16th, 2020 After moose, bison, geysers and slot canyons in the western U.S., let’s take a break to wash off the dust and moisturize.

The Last Sunset

October 21st, 2020 Our southwest U.S. road trip has reached its end. We arrived home safely this afternoon, unloaded the car and reflected on everything we’ve seen and done in the past two weeks. It has been an incredibly memorable time on the road and wonderful way to celebrate a milestone birthday. Here’s last night’s sunset as we traveled through

September 29th, 2020 Wow, what a night in the U.S. I think I’ll pour a glass of wine and stare into this spectacular Indonesian sunset. Join me, if you like!
