Grand Canyon, Feb 2009
It’s been an amazing 2009 so far with adventures to Yellowstone in Winter with DLWS, the Grand Canyon in Feb, back to Yellowstone on an Excellent Adventure in Feb. I then went from -teens to +80′s and visited the lovely Isalnd of Kauai with DLWS, followed by Photoshop World in Boston in March. April found me at the Oregon Coast for a few days and another Excellent Adventure to Fort DeSoto. May kicked off with DLWS Outer Banks and ended with an Excellent Adventure Storm Chasing in Tornado Alley. I spent a full month in Alaska leading a couple of Excellent Adventures to photograph Coastal Brown Bears followed by a visit to Brooks and finished up renting an RV with my parents to celebrate their 50th wedding anniversary.
