A Visit to Slovenia, a treasure trove of hiking delights and activities in a small country.

  The mountains present tough and difficult challenges just as they should. Who would want the test to be anything but true. Besides, what else to do these 'bored giants' have to fill their lives?  

  We believe we have 'fooled' you for a second or less; actually, that's not true. Lately, I have been trying a overcome a burden suffered recently. "Hang" in there and hopefully, the times might change for the better. Then again, we can always continue climbing mountains. We are growing very fond of this activity, actually, wild about it. 

From on high, the sights are magnificent. (Standing on Visenek Peak.)
Jen goes 'batty' in a cave for a short while only...hopefully.
"Where to now, Big Boy? Below Mt. Vogel Peak."
We're almost there, we're almost there, how wonderful, how marvelous to share. (Mt. Vogel).
A beautiful place to reach.
Adventure land with a difference, actually, many.
We appreciate the view; looking at the commencement point after a partial climb. The climb continues for a further 2,800 feet in height over the Soca River.
It was a proud moment. We appreciate the view of Svinjak Peak from the commencement point. To us, at the outset, it seemed an impossible challenge.
From the peak, we view a sizable section of the terrain, plus the 'life-raft'.
A great place to make a choice of the return journey, after a 'tie' between the 'contestants' on Mala Mostrovoka.
As he struggles to remain on his feet, in a manner of speaking.
Delightful scenes at height, climbing Mount Vogel. Jen sits below as she contemplates her next move.
Jen reaches Mount Kanin after sustaining earlier injury...tough girl...again.
The highest mountain range in the country with the morning mist co-operating. (Mount Triglav).
The Wild-Outdoors, incredible times, blessed by Nature when it's 'relaxed'. Jen continues to where she hopes for a satifactory arrival.
A different view, outstanding scenes, while in awe. (Another approach to Mount Triglav).
Perhaps there is a more direct route than the one you are laboring...just a suggestion.
More height, further distance, greater reward...the ultimate benefit.
A mountain scene to remember, no, to cherish. Returning from Vrsic Pass to Kransa Gora.
Take Care and Cheers, 

Jenni and Jeffrey

Romania: It was a Dynamic Experience; Challenge and Excitement.

Into the abyss she rode with vigor...maybe...walked.
We need to clear a path first...makes sense, I'd think.
Maybe this path will work...hopefully, in a fashion. I would hate to disappoint him; he is known to resort to tears...even on a good day.
Looks awfully good until we tickle...um...scratch the surface.
Jen takes the climb in her stride with only the odd grunt or two.
It reminds us of our 'kiddie' days playing "King of the Castle"...some things never change, apparently.
That's a 'wow', obviously; the building structure has very nice lines, too.
Over the top and down below to the...bottom...that was not difficult, was it?
Let's run up again, but this time with some vigor, please.
"Please fellas, hold the line! A little cleanliness on the side works wonders, too."
"Good move although a little bit exaggerated...let's hold off on the showmanship, please."
Love the surroundings...so rich and powerful.
Let's try that again; this time from the top. Wow! (City of Brasov).
"Hey Smokey, keep on puffing; it keeps the lungs clear...so they tell us.
It was only a matter of time before his restless urge surged...what did Jen tell you...right on time.
Distinguised, as least.
Climber's climb, perhaps obvious but we don't always know whom we are dealing with, do we?
Lovely views and scenery, we repeat.
This is where the race track coincides with more than a little excitement and illusions. (Transfagarasan Highway.)
Take away the lack of language, the cultural issues, plus a few other minor points, and we're quite at home. No problem!
Much beauty in and part of the surroundings.
A Woman of Valor...more than an opinion...I believe.
Quite stunning positions for a country couple to visit...well, that's all we will be revealing today, folks. (Birds of a Feather.)
The Big Beautiful Carpathian Mountains never fail to impress.
Keep going, it's never as close as it seems or appears.
Cheers, 

Jenni and Jeffrey

And finally, "Hail to The CHIEF"..."I always read it as 'chef'."
The "Anti-Climax" of the also ran.

A Brief Selection of Photographs from Around Coastal San Diego.

The definition of having some fun.
Sunrise, Sunset, until tomorrow as night follows...
Early morning shows the way as we tower over the clouds...amazing feeling/s.
Not much to add, a lot to savor.
Does it get better...answered, yes, but with increasing effort.
The gentle shade covers the harsher aspects of nature.
Let the sunshine in, let it glow, let it calm.
Bomb scare...where is Jenni...anyone?
Terra Firma...I think...hope.
Jen knows how to weave the colors and avoid hiding.
Does it get better...only with the extra effort, also it's tougher.
At certain times, the environment even out does itself.
We have often been accused of wishing that all our 'ducks' are in a row.
Many are still cute despite the clean-up...um...mess...well...you know what we mean.
Could this be a landing from Mars' place; or is Dad moving some earth to the side?
Smart thinking, but there are the small aspects of getting back down for consideration ...just a small point.
Glorious section of the lake and with a view...note Jen sneaking up on the side...watch her.  

Lake Murray, a beauty. 

 Where's the sunshine?
Makes an underhand attack on a poor swimmer...is ugly.
Nothing's quite as vivid as Mary in the morning.
Glorious sight, well-conditioned.
Cheers, 

Jenni and Jeffrey 

She is a brave girl, as she goes through the paces in La Jolla.

Trying to keep up with Jenni.
