We are Wanderers... Some people live their lives deliberately going from place to place. We too spend our work days doing that. But it seems that the best moments in life often happen by chance, unexpected and unplanned.

In this blog, we will try to capture the wonder we have felt when we happened upon the scenes shared here. Beauty and interest are truly where you find them. "Vagando" is the Spanish word for wandering and beautifully captures the feeling of freedom and ease we experience in our mini adventures. We hope you enjoy viewing these images as much as we have enjoyed finding them.

Not all those who wander are lost... J.R.R. Tolkien

Frozen in Time

The end of fall is marked by the migration of birds flying south to escape the chill of winter.  The pictures in this essay were all taken around a frozen brace of connected ponds near our hotel in Ft. Collins.  We had gathered with family to celebrate that wonderful American holiday - Thanksgiving - and bundled up to enjoy a few frigid minutes in the cold air.  My son and I shared the camera for some of these shots.  Passing it back and forth, we savored the time together -- sometimes surprised at how two people, each with a decidedly different perspective, can enjoy the singular beauty of our shared world.  I love the textures created when fluid water and colorful fall vegetation are frozen together in time.
