My favorite images from our recent trip to Dublin, Ireland came from the most unexpected location… Kilmainham Gaol is one of the country’s most significant historical sites, offering a profound insight into Ireland’s turbulent past. Built in 1796, this imposing former prison played a central role in Ireland’s struggle for independence, housing many of the […]
Something a little different from the usual landscape and nature. We just returned from a week in Dublin, Ireland and I absolutely fell in love with the local pubs.

The Historic Durango & Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad The perfect fall day trip! A nine hour round-trip adventure with time for lunch, shopping and walking the old streets of Silverton.

Colorado’s wet June provided abundant wildflowers and hoards of virtually intolerable mosquitoes. A very difficult pre-dawn bushwack
