Is it just me or has the first two months of 2019 flown by?

Did a mini photo shoot at one of our favorite spots that happens to be right in the middle of Tampa Bay, Pine Key, aka Beer Can Island. It’s the perfect place to spend an afternoon, especially during the week when it’s much less crowded than the weekends!

  • Isn’t it funny how we are fascinated most by the type of places that are totally different than where we grew up? At least I am. Any time I see an impressive Rocky Mountain landscape I’m instantly in awe. Or when I see the crystal clear who knows how many different shades of blue tropical waters I get lost in the beauty before me. :
Am I the only one or are you most fascinated by landscapes that are totally different from where you were raised?

  • Not sure who this girl is.. but thank you stranger for being in the right place at the right time! ;
Fushimi-Inari is one of Japan’s most popular spots meaning you have to get there very early to have any chance at getting photos with no people in them. I waited more than 30 minutes to even get a good attempt at a shot with the well know orange shrines. Sometimes it pays to shoot on your way to the well know spots because they are often less crowded and just as beautiful. :
Have you been to Japan yet?

  • As a (very) frequent traveler it can be hard to answer the question what’s your favorite place you’ve been? Each place we visit kind of becomes a part of us and our experience. I’ve said before that traveling the world, meeting new people, and experiencing new cultures changes people for the better, no matter if you’re leaving your home state for the first time or if you’re flying over 9000 miles around the world to go to Bali. :
Bali was at the top of my list for quite a long time and last year I finally checked it off the bucket list. We build up expectations of what we think a place is going to be like and most of the time we end up having that type of experience while we are there. There are a few places that just exceed your expectations in almost every way imaginable for me, Hawaii, Bali, and Dubai all exceeded my expectations.

What are some of the places that have exceeded your expectations when you finally got there?

  • Hard to put into words how this spot makes me feel. It would be so easy to miss as you’re driving down the Pacific coast. There is just one little parking lot, no cell service, and a whole lot of natural beauty.

We got here about 30 minutes before sunset on a cool windy day last May. The light was being gently filter through a thin layer of clouds it was pretty close to perfect conditions to shoot this amazing location.

  • Mallory is training to do the Coeur d’Alene half-Ironman, so as long as training goes well we will be heading back to the beautiful state of Idaho at the end of June!

I have been posting a lot of photos from the past year of travel and trying out some new stuff/incorporating more photoshop than I used to. What do you guys think? Do you like the photos to look exactly how they appeared when the photographer was there or is taking some creative freedoms with color and composites cool with you?
:
🤫🤫 I actually added the cloud covered mountains in this photo just to spice it up a little. 🏔 :
