A day trip to this great little Hot Springs in Monroe. It’s a couple of hours for the drive, but a worthwhile experience.

Beautiful!

I don't know why this hasn't received more publicity, but this fifty-foot sculpture was unveiled recently in South Dakota.It's called 'Dignity' and was done by artist Dale Lamphere to honor the women of the Sioux Nation.

Not one photo will do this place justice,, but here are some pics of the Grand Canyon north rim. It was amazing!!! The drive was about 2.5 hours from home and surprisingly not as crowded as we expected. If you haven’t been there it’s a must see adventure.

Yant Flat. As we were hiking to this place about a mile from the road, and my leg muscles were screaming at me, I was thinking this better be worth it, and IT WAS!!!!

Top Of The World
First time talking our CanAm to The Top of the World near Sand Hollow. Not sure why we waited so long. It was WOW!!!! There’s not a picture out there that can do it justice. There was a lot a beautiful areas that we did not get a chance to experience, so we’ll have to go back soon. It was a fun adventure!

A great hike on Thursday at Fort Pierce. Rudy and I didn’t realize it was such a beautiful area with easy trails. We hiked a mile in and a mile out and truly enjoyed the beauty of this beautiful area.

When the photography is done perfectly!❤️

Next weeks destination: Zion National Park

Embarking on a soul-stirring journey into the heart of Zion National Park on November 22nd! 🌄 As the sun dips below the horizon, painting the landscape with a breathtaking array of warm hues, I find myself on the road to the overlook, eagerly anticipating the enchantment that awaits. This moment, captured through the lens, is not merely a photograph but a glimpse into the profound beauty that Zion unfurls, a prelude to the magical week ahead at Watchman Campground.

The interplay of light and shadow, the towering cliffs, and the symphony of nature set the stage for a visual narrative that transcends words. A week immersed in the grandeur of Zion beckons—under star-studded skies and amidst the soothing sounds of the Virgin River. Each frame is poised to tell a story, a story of nature's grand spectacle.

Rudy and I are trying to keep retirement from making us soft. Did the Angels Landing Hike today. It was breathtaking in more ways than one. Did my heart some good and my spirits too. The weather was perfect, and sites were INCREDIBLE! It is definitely a challenging hike. My legs were like jello on the way down, but it was very worth it!!
