Nature often has a way of surprising us with its exquisite beauty, either in the vibrant colors of its flowers, in the weather beaten faces of its mountain ranges, or in the stillness of a flowing creek through the woods. Throughout our adventures over these past 17 months, we have had the opportunity to experience some of these resplendent creations of nature, both here and abroad. Sharing some of those experiences would give us great joy. We hope you enjoy them as much as we did.
