And So It Begins: The First Snowfall

Just a week after admiring our golden tree against a blue sky, autumn came to an abrupt and decisive end. 

No Need to Travel Far

After chasing fall colors across Colorado and flying to Minnesota for family, sometimes you come home to find the most perfect autumn scene waiting right in your own yard.

The Early Flight Home

A quiet, early morning on the tarmac at the Minneapolis-St. Paul airport.

From Urbank to Minneapolis, A Day for Family

An unexpected and thought-provoking sight to start our morning.

The day of the main event began with an unusual sight: a pickup truck towing a trailer full of large, fabricated crosses.

A Minnesota Welcome of Friends and Traditions

The first full day in Minnesota greeted us with a classic rainy, grey morning. The weather set a cozy tone for a day that turned out to be full of wonderful surprises and treasured traditions.

The rain this morning washed-out all hopes of a photoshoot!

From the Rockies to the Land of 10,000 Lakes

An early and cloudy morning at Denver International Airport, ready for a new adventure.

The travels continue. Just a couple of days after returning from our tour of western Colorado, it was time to pack a bag again.

Fall Tour Day Four: Ouray to Lakewood

A final, gentle sunrise over the San Juans as we prepared to leave Ouray.

A Bonus Day at the Black Canyon

 Our trip was supposed to be a three-day loop, but we woke up in Ouray and realized we were too close to an opportunity to pass it up. The Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park—a place I had never been and Tim was eager to see again—was just a short drive away.

Fall Tour Day Two: Alamosa to Ouray

Day two began with a spectacular celestial handover in Alamosa. As the sun rose over the Sangre de Cristo Mountains behind us, a thick fog still clung to the San Juans ahead, the range we’d be exploring all day.

Meanwhile, Back at Home...

Lev and Neshama, enjoying their own version of a vacation.

While we're out on the road chasing mountain views and autumn leaves, it's nice to know the pups are having a good vacation of their own.
