Just a few days ago, we had a torrential rainstorm here locally. Because of the heavy rain, most of the nearby higher mountains got snow! But today was one of those rare beautiful sunny fall days in the Pacific Northwest – especially for the last day of summer. So very early this morning we jumped…
The Skagit Valley Tulip Festival is a great place to visit as the weather turns warmer. Located in LaConner, Washington, USA – there are thousands of flowers bursting with color this time of year. Officially, the festival starts April 1st each year. The tulips are just about to bloom! Below is a photo I took…

While traveling the backside of Haleakela (Maui, Hawaii, USA) on the Road to Hana (between mile markers 33 and 34), we unexpectantly discovered St. Joseph Church that was established in 1862! Located adjacent to the church are ruins of the Rectory as well as the cistern. In researching this church, we discovered that it continues…
