We love travel and photography, mixed with outdoor activities, especially birdwatching. We wanted an online place to share our travel photos with family and friends, so we started blogging our travels with our trip to Iceland in 2021.

Note: It’s typical to write blog posts and date them when you write them. But we are often behind in writing about our trips. So, after each trip, we set the date of each travel post to match the date we are describing. That way, the trip pages sort in order. So, you might discover new posts for older trips that don’t show up as “latest”.
