If I were to try to find words to describe Yellowstone National Park - and believe me, words will definitely escape you when you lay eyes upon this place - they would be somewhere along the lines of primordial, surreal, sublime ... especially sublime. This place really did leave me speachless. I haven't felt a sense of peace like this since Africa. I didn't want to leave. We are already planning another trip back.

Quite frankly, the Grand Tetons smack you in the face with their immense grandeur! They are simply jaw-dropping! Of course, you know you are in for something special when you first enter the gateway of Jackson Hole. What a pristine little mountain town. We only had a few days there so we concentrated on the grand landscapes, old barns and wildlife the Tetons are famous for! We will definitely be back!
The Upper Peninsula of Michigan is very remote and wild and I have always wanted to visit it. A wedding in Michigan provided the perfect excuse :-). Within this peninsula lies Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore. Resting against the rough shores of Lake Superior, it is a true gem for nature lovers. One of the highlights for us was trekking 3 miles throught the woods to emerge on an amazing beach with towering sandstone cliffs! Its name is Chapel Beach and it was spectacular! We took photos past sunset ... and yes we did hike the 3 miles back though the woods, in the dark, as the light of a full moon danced through the trees :-). It was a magical experience!
The water's of Lake Superior were so amazingly blue!!
Photos and moments captured along the way!

Of course none of our trips seem complete without Purple Bill and Greeny :-)!
