Daily Post Photo Challenge – Morning

We’ve said it many times, we are not morning people, so perhaps this is truly a challenge for us. When we think about memorable mornings, they are definitely all from travelling, when forced to make ourselves get up early in order to see as much as possible. Having said that, probably our most memorable mornings were from Iceland this past February. Because the sun rose so late, after 9:00 a.m., and the days were so short, seeing the sun rise over the frozen ice fields was truly something special. We want to return to Iceland, probably during autumn, but until then we hope you enjoy a few of the sunrises that we saw during our trip.

Daily Post Photo Challenge – Cherry on Top

Living in Colorado provides the opportunity to get out and see some gorgeous scenery.  We love to get out and go hiking and immerse ourselves in nature, but the icing on the cake is that sometimes we don’t need to go any farther than our own front porch.  This photo was taken from the front of our house not that long ago, but we see similar sunsets all of the time.

Just Another Sunset ☺

 

Daily Post Photo Challenge – Details

For this week’s photo challenge, details, we decided to use a few photos from our trip into the jungle at Carrasco National Park in Bolivia. Taking close-up pictures isn’t something that we do too often, but every now and then we do take a few and we took all of these photos from that one day trekking in the rainforest. Not everyone is a fan of insects, but they can be amazing and even beautiful at times.
