Halloween Sun

I have been traveling quite a bit these last 5 weeks. I started in Colorado in late September - photographing the amazing Aspen trees, continuing east to spend a few days in Lake Placid, New York. From there we slowly meandered south, visited family, saw Cirque du Soliel in Reading, Pennsylvania and drove the parkway along the crest of the Blue Ridge Mountains from Virginia to Tennessee. Today I woke up in Winter Park, Colorado - snow covered plains, views of the Contenental Divide and a sunny Halloween morning.

I celebrated with a visit to my new favorite yoga studio Mountain Moon Yoga (mtnmoonyoga.com). A fairly vigorous vinyasa sequence with plenty of salutations was a great way to stretch, sweat, twist and relax.

But while I love to travel - encountering new places, meeting people and experiencing the rythym of a mountain landscape seems to be my calling - I am ready to return home. Ready to settle in for what seems like a promising ski season and sketch out a plan to make time for winter activities, writing, yoga, friends and more travel. Here's to a long winter!

Life is Good!

It's crazy how time flies. That I have gone this long without blogging seems unforgiveable. Except that - and this is good news - I've been busy. Seriously busy. Writing and photographing mostly, augmented with skills learned in the corporate world. A good thing really - my parents did pay (with help from my job as a grocery checker) for an expensive education and it proves useful once in awhile.

True to this blog's title I have been spending time traveling via the road. Driving across the country with prolonged stops in Telluride and Crested Butte, Colorado photographing the amazing autumn display of Aspen trees. Likewise, on the east coast taking a three-day tour of Lake Placid, New York's fiery colors. LOVE Lake Placid! Actually wanted to move there when I finished college but the Universe had other plans for me.

What am I up to? Several things: (1) Doing research for a documentary project I have been ruminating on for the last 2 years; (2) Trying to find time to write freelance and failing miserably at it; (3) Processing about 200 images I shot recently in Winter Park, Colorado (unrelated to the above); (4) Blogging about Big Bear Lake, California; (5) Enjoying myself working with a new client who is innovative and growing in a down economy; and (6) Working out A LOT (Goals: Ski my ass off this year and test for PSIA Level III certification).

Let me know what you have been up to?

Cheers,
