Went out for a brisk walk this morning and savored the foggy autumn stillness.

Enjoy a lovely Equinox!

Golden Gate Bridge, San Francisco, California. Roadtrip 2013

Had to pull an emergency stop onto the service lane, scramble over a barrier, push through a construction fence and cross 4 lanes of road when I saw this. Was totally worth it. ;)

Somewhere on US 95, Nevada. Roadtrip 2013

We’d already been on the road for 9 hours and approximately 480 erratic miles that day, not counting wandering through the desert; without a place to put up the tent and still looking at hours before our next meal; but those colours were oh so breathtakingly beautiful…
