The human connection. Traveling always offers the most interesting conversations and connections with strangers. Each encounter teaches us something and leaves an imprint. While staying at Jackson Lake Lodge, on a brisk early morning, we met Adel. One of our favorite things to do is to take the Jackson Lake Breakfast Cruise to Elk Island. We've learned from the past that ...
If you’re going to get stuck on a road trip, Glenwood Springs, Colorado is the place. Vail Pass (10,666' mountain pass over the Rocky Mountains) was closed due to a snowstorm so we enjoyed our extra day! We were here in April and this has become one of our favorite Colorado towns. There’s so much history (Doc Holliday stayed ...
Would you dare the depths of the Belly of the Dragon? This "cave" is actually a manmade tunnel to redirect drainage from the upper canyons under HWY 89 to the North Fork River just outside of Kanab, Utah. The water created this ripple effect that looks like you're going into the depths of a beast. It is a bit ...
If you love animals, then this hotel is for you! I've written about Best Friends Animal Society many times. We adopted our two dogs from Best Friends and we go back every year to volunteer at the sanctuary. (Which we highly recommend!) We are so excited that they recently built a hotel in Kanab, Utah which is located just ...
Most littles don't want to sit for a photo. This sweet little girl just wanted to dance, run, and play so we lived in the moment and captured the fun! Try not to over-plan your photos if you have little kids. The majority of the time, if you have too many expectations, you will be ...
After this photoshoot, as I walked to my car, a woman stopped me and said: "You two just made my day and heart, seeing so much feminist love and support made me so happy." Isn't that awesome?! I had just met Laura with Laura Rae Photography that morning but we were having so much fun ...
The focus of this photoshoot was joy and centered around this beautiful soul of a dog. ❤️ Overwhelmed by LOVE. xo © Tracy Blowers
"Till Death We Do Art" - Joe Craven This quote really hit me while they were honoring Jeff Austin at the Grand Targhee Bluegrass Festival. Jeff recently died unexpectedly and today on 9/11, I'm reminded of Joe Craven's words "Tell your story and make your art". Life is hard. Honestly, it's harder than I expected ...
As we turned off Highway 20 in West Yellowstone onto a dirt road and drove under the log archway for Bar N Ranch, we could see the canvas tents in the distance of this beautiful, secluded, wide-open space. Wildflowers added pops of colors, horses were running in the pasture and the mountains layered the horizon. ...
Have you been to Medora, North Dakota? What a kick! This area is rich in history and nature but also offers unique activities for the whole family from the Pitchfork Steak Fondue Dinner to the Medora Musical. Medora is located at the entrance of Theodore Roosevelt National Park with beautiful views of the North Dakota ...
You look in the mirror and see yourself, but really, it's not you at all. I mean, there's your eyes and your nose and your cute little smile, but that's to all there is to you. Because you're not seeing the amount of lives you've touched in your presence. You're not seeing all the people ...
We danced too wild, and we sang too long, and we hugged too hard, and we kissed too sweet, and howled just as loud as we wanted to howl, because by now we were all old enough to know that what looks like crazy on an ordinary day looks a lot like love if you ...
Her face says it all! The NE community always looks forward to the annual Northeast Minneapolis Dog Parade. They gather at the Historic Main Street Park where there are dog treats, samples and activities. After about 30 minutes, they line up and walk the neighborhood. Below are a few photos that I captured for Steven Scott ...
