Life in Alaska :: Photo Gallery (June)

by Kim

Beautiful mountain scenery along the Glenn Highway in Alaska

June was an unbelievably gorgeous month in Alaska. The leaves sprung to life, the days were long and warm and the sun was shining. A lot. We also had the pleasure of entertaining my mom and enjoyed touring around the state a bit with her. Here are some Instagram Photo Highlights from June   Biking […]

37 of My Favorite iPhone Photos of 2012

by Kim

In January of this year, I finally upgraded my old Blackberry. The photos were pretty shite and I didn’t really take them seriously. Enter the iPhone. Now I’m far from being a fan of Apple’s stuff. Quite the opposite, really. But after trying out another phone and having it fail on me, I gave in […]

Artists, Artists Everywhere in Japan

by Kim

Japanese artists drawing in Tokyo

I have to say that I’m a little amazed at how many artists we encountered on our travels around Japan. Sure I’ve seen the random painter or group of students on location trying to render their own interpretation of the scene in front of them. But never before had I so regularly seen people out […]

Caffeine & Sugar Fix in Tokyo at Streamer Coffee

Fancy Coffee design at Streamer - Tokyo, Japan

Nary a day goes by when I don’t long for my morning cup of coffee. I didn’t used to be that way. But my husband corrupted me. Ok, corrupt is a bit of a strong word. Especially since I really look forward to having my coffee, most days. And I figure so long as it’s […]

Hiking the Cinque Terre, Italy

by Kim

Hiking the Cinque Terre trail between the 5 towns - Italy

[Update 2016: The entire trail was open when I hiked it many years ago, but closures do happen so be sure to check conditions before you go.] If you have time to only do one thing in the Cinque Terre, Italy, I’d highly recommend it be this: hike the path that connects the 5 towns. […]

Flowers of the Cinque Terre, Italy

by Kim

Unique flower along coast of Cinque Terre, Italy

A huge part of traveling is seeing things you wouldn’t normally see wherever it is you live. I’m a big sucker for flowers & exotic-looking plants, so my eyes – and camera lens – tend to gravitate towards the ground in search of interesting-looking things. When we were hiking along the well-known path connecting the […]

Gondola at Gardena Pass - Dolomite Mountains, Italy

In case you missed it, this post is a continuation of a circular drive we took while we were in the Dolomites of Italy. On our route, we went over Sella Pass & Pordoi Pass, and are now finishing up with Gardena Pass. So the final of the 3 mountain passes we drove over was […]

Scenic Mountain Drive in Northern Italy

by Kim

Italian River in northern Italy

Today’s photos continue where I left off on our roughly 10-hour drive from Lake Como to the Dolomites, our final destination for the day. So far we’ve stopped in Chiavenna, a town near both the northern shores of Lake Como and the Swiss border, driven over Maloja Pass & Bernina Pass and stopped briefly in St. […]

Driving Bernina Pass (Passo Bernina), Switzerland

by Kim

Bernina Pass in Switzerland

The day we drove over Bernina Pass could’ve been named “Mountain Passes” day. I think we might’ve driven over 3 or 4. Maybe 5. I can’t remember exactly, but it was a lot. After leaving Chiavenna, an Italian town near Lake Como & the Swiss/Italian border, we went over our first mountain pass of the […]

Passing through St. Moritz, Switzerland

by Kim

Windsurfers on Lake St Moritz, Switzerland

After coming up Maloja Pass from the west, we passed through St. Moritz, Switzerland. I just love the color of Lake St. Moritz, and it’s good to see people making use of it. Entering the town by car. Here’s a view of some houses & condos along the hillside. We walked around the main town […]
