This is going to be a quick post this week. As mentioned on Monday, I'm working on some big things for my site behind the scenes, so I'm taking it easy on the blogging. Instead, I'll leave you with just a few images from Norway. I couldn't quite decide on…

Every day in Norway brought yet another magnificent wonder. Just when we thought we had reached the ultimate level of amazement, Norway ratcheted it up another impossible level. See this stunning waterfall? Now feast your eyes on this! Think this view is beautiful? Wait till you get a load of…

I was reviewing my pictures from Norway for which "wow" photo I wanted to share this week for my Biweekly Wow. But then I reached this image from one of our first nights camping. It always brings a wide grin to my face, so I thought I'd share this delightful…

The first night we arrived in Oslo, we were beyond exhausted. It had taken us nearly 24 hours to travel to our final destination in Norway; aboard two planes, a car, a bus, a train, a streetcar, and our own two feet; and upon very little sleep. Our hosts in…

Can you believe it?? I actually forgot to post this yesterday! I feel so silly; I hope you'll forgive me. I also did not post as much to Instagram this week as I had originally intended. As you know, I'm moving away from Instagram and more toward 500px - though I…

You've read all the exciting adventures in Zion and Bryce Canyon National Parks (and if you haven't, you should really check them out right here!), so it's time for the next chronicle of the year: Norway! As you know, we travel quite a bit, and it recently dawned on us…

These adventurous photographers spent our last day in the beautiful Bryce Canyon National Park soaking up every view we possibly could! We rose early for one last fiery sunrise, and we kept our boots on the trail as long as we could before taking the grueling trip back to Salt…

I am quickly finding that most of Bryce is a Weekly Wow. After all, how many places in the world have these unlikely geological features? The colors - the rich red of the rocks, the deep green of the trees, the vibrant blue of the morning sky - all accentuated…

Happy April, all! I hope everyone had a wonderful Easter weekend (whether or not you celebrate the holiday) and you're ready for a brand new week! This week's selection turned out well. I usually mostly select my Instagram photos at random, though I try to pick a variety of my…

Another week has flown by! This one was really crazy, following Thanksgiving last week. On top of wrapping up Kumoricon pictures, there's no time to slow down! I did a few more grid photos this week on Instagram. How do you like them? This first one was from the train…
