After a long absence, we will try this again - life got really hectic for a long while there, but we did manage to take some neat photo trips in spite of all that.
Last year we were on the road for 5 weeks (7 weeks for Nolan) of photography travel including a trip to the Smoky Mountains (with a bird photo outing at Gary Carter's blinds in North Carolina) and a long trip to Canada, Montana, and parts west (in the USA).
This year we made it to Georgia with lots of gardens along the way, including the gorgeous azalea gardens at Callaway Gardens. We also just got back from an eastern Canada trip, a cruise on the St. Lawrence River from Montreal all the way to Boston. Bad weather on that one, with rain, flooding, freezing cold, and gale force winds - quite a trip that was - with lots of foggy weather photo opportunities.
Flying is more of a hassle than ever - so we are thinking road trips look even better, and there is a lot of this beautiful USA that we have not yet seen or photographed. It remains a beautiful world, one we appreciate even more as we struggle with the challenges of aging.
