Sharing posts, stories and great places to explore!
Welcome to SkipandSusan.com! With great heart and passion, we have built this website to share our photography, classic cars, cooking and travel adventures. Nothing is for sale here – (yet!) – but we have a great collection of photographs of the many places we have had the honor to visit. And now post pandemic –…
Skip and I can’t believe it is almost the end of the year – where has the time gone!?! This year I have been a bit behind on posting and sharing but I promise to do better in 2023! Isn’t that what resolutions are all about? In the meantime, here is a photograph I captured…
Skip and I are just back from traveling Northern California! Our first major trip throughout this pandemic – a bucket list for us! We first stopped at Prairie Creek Redwoods State Park in Orick, California. Poor Skip – I made him stop multiple times – I swear I photographed every tree! We were absolutely amazed…

Today in Renton (Washington, USA), the afternoon weather was cold, but beautiful – a rare day of sunshine!

I grabbed my camera and with Skip’s help, we setup all the equipment and…
