I began posting photos from our past five years of exploring in this previous entry, and, voilà, here are more. The same caveats apply: I’m just a point-and-click photographer, and some of these I love only because of the memories they evoke. Along with the previous set, though, they begin to tell the story of our travels quite well.

You are going to have one helluva photo wall lady.
Now you just need to find the house!
👍
Arches and Valley of the Gods is on my list of must sees. Fairbanks Alaska photo – were those birch trees? Or aspen? Looks beautiful. And Watkins Glen looks amazing.

A house with a big wall!
You should go into the calendar-making business. You’ve got enough beautiful photos here to last you to 2029 at least!
I do have a lot of photos! I recently saw my Banjo calendar in person though and now know that is not my skill. 🤪

I believe aspen live only at high elevation, so those must be birch. And yes, Watkins Glen is just one walk through a gorge, but it’s a magical gorge!
