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

A Celebration in Arches

 We celebrated a wonderful milestone recently in a place of incredible and unusual beauty.  It somehow seemed appropriate to reflect on thirty-five amazing years together in such an exquisite place.  Ours has never been an ordinary relationship.  It has been filled with adventure, challenges, times for learning from each other, times for learning together, and times for sharing what we have learned apart.  But it has always had a deep and lasting wonder about it.  Each day continues to be a unique celebration, never routine, never ordinary.  Thank you for showing me how to live life to its fullest.  Te Adoro Amorcita.




















  

























To many more adventures...

Visiting the Past at Fort Omoa

Last November we had the opportunity to return to the delightful country of my wife's birth.  We spent a day at  Fortaleza de San Fernando de Omoa, an 18th century Spanish fort on the Caribbean cost, with dear friends from our youth.  The fort is a wonderful place to take in history and the perfect place to relive enjoyable memories from our own past.  It was a special day for us.  It has taken me a while to post these special pictures, but I hope you enjoy them and gain some appreciation for the beautiful scenery and people of Honduras.

After a day at Omoa, we had a delicious meal and watched the sun set at the appropriately named beach side resort - El Paraiso. 
The perfect end to a perfect day...

Monument in the Mist

The Colorado National Monument is 100 years old this year!  A beautiful backdrop for our valley, it is one of our favorite locations for photography, meditation, or just to get away.  You can't help but be refreshed by the mystical powers of the national park.  The pictures in this blog were taken on a foggy day in December and wonderfully capture the almost unearthly feeling you get while travelling through this timeless wonder.
