My travels to Mount Rainier in Washington was all due to a three-day photography workshop being given by world-renowned Art Wolfe. Mount Rainier is in Art’s backyard as he grew up in nearby Seattle. Even though he has traveled the world over six times, Mount Rainier is near […]
At long last I found myself back again on the trail. It’s been some time that I’ve been able to hike, mostly because of the lack of time. So what does one do when in the mountains? Well, of course you have to hike and explore the beautiful […]

When staying at The Peace Lodge at the La Paz Waterfall Gardens plenty of close encounters of the Costa Rica kind can be found. One of their best is a hidden secret in the hummingbird garden. Twice a day, at 9:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. visitors can feed […]
