Summer Hiatus Photos

Taking a break for July. Will return refreshed and full of vim, vigor, and vitality in mid-August!

Ready to talk about all kinds of new releases and maybe a few from the past as well. While you’re waiting, here are a handful of random photos from a few of my favorite places. My apologies for the random order.

From Highway 1 (slowly falling into the Pacific) on the Northern California Coast

Machu Picchu (visited so long, long, long ago)

Yellowstone National Park (where you can boil like a lobster if you’re not careful)

Grand Tetons National Park (glorious and rugged)

Black Hills National Forest (where the sure-footed survive)

Joshua Tree National Park (exquisite desert beauty)

A seagull unimpressed by the Americas Cup on San Francisco Bay (2013) – Angel Island in the background

Tahoe – heading to Sugar Bowl (where powder people play)

Botswana – Moremi – Wish this pic of the wild dogs was better. They’ve got such great ears!

Note the size of that termite mound in comparison to our truck…

Hiking through the bush in Hluhluwe–iMfolozi

Tried not to get to close to the Cape Buffalo

Etosha pan – Yes, that would be me and infinity

Okay, time to go read some books….take a few walks…..go sailing…..play in the water…..pick some berries….and turn off the alarm clock…..

See you in August!

What gorgeous photos, Jilanne! I so enjoyed them! I’ve been to a few of those places – even honeymooned in Joshua Tree so we could go rock climbing 😊 Enjoy your hiatus and all the lovely things you have planned!

Thanks, Susanna, although I’m a pretty awful photographer, LOL. I LOVE Joshua Tree, especially in spring bloom. It’s AMAZING!! Hope you’re having a good summer break, too!
