From national parks and desert landscapes to tropical islands and robust cities, our empty nest adventures are taking us to some of the most amazing places and there is still so much more to explore! Enjoy some of my favorite images from places we've had the opportunity to visit.

There is an intricate, old-world rhythm hidden inside the stone streets of Vancouver's historic Gastown.
Fresh off our cruise ship, this legendary landmark was at the absolute top of my "must-capture" list, sitting a brief, breezy fifteen-minute walk from our hotel. This photograph captures the exact moment of our arrival to the scene ~ moments away from hearing the initial, breathless burst of steam greeting us as we stepped up to the frame.
Over the following hour, we stayed to experience the machines full cycle, listening to the quarter-after whistle, the half-hour chime, the 45-minute mark, and finally recording the grand top-of-the-hour Westminster melody. However, this print remains the memory of that very first look.
By utilizing selective coloring, I chose to isolate the rich, warm wooden tones and gilded brass work of this mechanical marvel, allowing the intricate craftsmanship to stand front and center against a quiet, desaturated background. Though it bears the striking aesthetic of a Victorian artifact, the clock was actually built in 1977 by master horologist Raymond Saunders to ingeniously harness a prominent street steam vent. It stands today as one of only a handful of functioning steam-powered timepieces left on Earth.
The music itself is a feat of industrial genius: a miniature steam engine inside the base drives a series of weights downward, which mechanically triggers a cluster of five distinct brass whistles to play its signature chimes.
A sophisticated, vintage statement piece designed for collectors who appreciate the fine art of horology, the romance of travel, and the mechanical symphonies of yesterday.
