So yesterday was a big day for Punxsutawney Phil. The question everyone had was whether he would see his shadow or not!? Is spring on its way? This reminded K and R of another wonderful season in the mid-west : fall!

Fall in the mid-west is a wonderful color fest; what better way to enjoy the colors than a drive through some beautiful yellows...

...reds, browns, and differenent hues of green...

...on a crispy cold but sunny day...

...past the reds...

...to finally arrive at...

R loves this view! K agrees!

So with that, K and R head back on the road less travelled...

Sometime in the near past, K and R went on a visit to Monterrey Bay. As is required when one visits Monterrey, we went on a drive down California State Route 1 towards Big Sur...




K wanted to find a way to get down to the foamy beaches...




...while R found this vista that turns out be an "iconic image"!







K and R love this view of the Bixby Creek Arch Bridge which is supposed to be the "most photographed bridge on the west coast"









The day ended with a beautiful sunset on the pacific. There were a couple of kids playing on the beach with their dad...




...while others lay on the sand waiting for the sun to go down.

So after yet another break from our blog, K and R are back! During the time we were away, we were able to take in some fantastic sights, visit some beautiful places and not document it with great photos!

Wait, what?

"Not document?", you ask. "Yes", say we.

"Blame K for dropping our precious camera" adds R.

Well, what-u-gonna-do? Still, we did manage to get some pics and are on the hunt for a good contraption to replace our old 3.2Mpixel...R-I-P!

In this edition, we take you with us on 'K and R visit Sunrise'! ("My only tryst with any kind of sunrise" says R with a wink.)

Sunrise offers fantastic views of Mt. Rainier...

From there, K and R went on a short hike to Sunrise lake...

...which was oh-so-serene!

R catches K taking in one last look before heading back home.

K and R went to see Mt. St. Helens last year and what a sight she was!


With one entire side blown away during the eruption, Mt. St. Helens looks like a big pile of rubble...


...and has left the surroundings looking like a blast zone...


...there... what did we tell you???

Here are a few more views of the Mountain...

K and R went to see the famous Blue Angels at the Seattle Seafair...here are a few snaps of the excellent show they put on...

K and R are back! Here is a set of interesting 'Animal Xing signs' we have come across on our many travels... from signs for mountain goats to cattle to turtles! Send us a note if you have a snap of an unusual 'Animal Xing' sign...

Recently K & R decided to go out west where we visited the wonderful, "quaint", historic town of Chrloride, AZ...

to visit the Arizona Central Bank which still seems to be lost in the early 1900s!
After filling up at the wonderfully stocked gas station...
and visiting some old gnomes...

K & R stopped to take in the local attractions...
before heading off to explore the deserts of Arizona!
