twelve hours feels short
with this hot springs in the mix
five-dollar heaven

driving Canada?
getting gas is exhausting
perfection elsewhere

glacial blue-gray lakes
mountains shrouded in dawn’s mist
so many rivers



twelve hours feels short
with this hot springs in the mix
five-dollar heaven

driving Canada?
getting gas is exhausting
perfection elsewhere

glacial blue-gray lakes
mountains shrouded in dawn’s mist
so many rivers



rainy morning walk
in this lushly green forest
boggy, soggy moss


an afternoon soak
in these hot springs mountains
to stave off the chill

on the best drive home
we saw a family of sheep
we saw views going blue




quick grocery run
reorganizing our camp
dawn: ready to roll

hiking to high tea
(a different version of high)
altitude wins sips


perfect alpine lakes
to start and finish the day
as we drink in views



glacially made mirrors
waterfall motivation
for the long walk down

a glass reflection
to start Canada travels
cold, bright, beautiful


Banff captures the crowds
who come to see Lake Louise
with its glacial blue

pup’s living the life
that most dogs only dream of
lake dips and air licks


ten thousand miles
begins before the sunrise
red, ready for us


two and a half states
bring us mountains, skies, and lakes
blue, gold, crimson calm


life isn’t parking—
adapting to site unseen
from a computer

but look at this lake
and this brown-eyed, sleepy pup
Montana, my heart

life isn’t parking—
adapting to site unseen

bug look at this lake
and this brown-eyed, sleepy pup
Montana, my heart

we can’t have autumn
without the vibrant colors
of all that is lost

trees casting shadows
that can’t be hidden by cats
seasonal comfort

bluebird mountain day
catching the golden aspens
before they burn bare
in Denver, it's spring:
our version of spring showers?
a little snow, please

what do the pets think?
find a spot, window gaze
April showers love
