Finally posting again after two trips. Our first trip was to Big Bend National Park in west Texas. We had a really wonderful time! The weather was perfect for hiking and when not hiking I took lots of photographs and did a few sketches. We saw deer, lots of birds and butterflies, and a family of javelinas. The nights were clear and thousands of stars hung in the sky. It was all amazing and brought forth gratitude for such remarkable nature.
Our second trip was to Portland, Oregon. We didn't have much time there, but just enough to know that we would like to go back and explore more of Portland and Oregon in general. I haven't loaded my photographs yet, but I have high hopes they will be good.
