Jen puts on a display for the crowd below at Angel's Landing. 'What a show off', exclaims her very modest husband. This is an addendum above Angel's Landing. In the pre-covid days, we undertook the hike 10 times, over the previous 10 years. Since then, we've either become cowards, developed some brains (few) or moved on to other challenges. Jen close to the top. You've got to love the beauty. And then there's the attractive surround, too. A much younger couple some years earlier. One step at a time with the odd prayer thrown in as back-up. The first hike at Angel's Landing without using assistance of chains. (Big deal.) We'd call that great beauty.   Cheers,  Jenni and Jeffrey

Jen climbs toward the high point on this tiny peninsula to partake brunch. We intend to work for food. The ordinary view of a favored structure...the apartments jutting into the ocean. On the walk down, the heavy clouds clear and Mount Teide plus comes into view. The clouds become protective again while the ocean stirs but we keep chomping...big brunch. Fortunately, Jen's a good swimmer and also had the foresight to organize a liquid brunch. Mount Teide showing independence from the clouds. Jen taking it easy as she munches away. A different perspective of the clouded volcano. An inland view of Teide. Up Close: In a desert environment below Mount Teide during an earlier visit to the icon, with Jen trudging upfront.   The hike from El Rambla et San Pedro follows: Very attractive until one begins some sharp ascents. The ancient. The modern.   And the prickly. Cheers,  Jenni and Jeffrey 

Heading for Alamana Peak in Hawaii. A Kayak to reach Antelope Canyon, AZ/Utah. North Dome in Yosemite, California. Wheeler Peak, New Mexico. Climbing at Mount Everest Game Park, South Africa. Cheers,  Jenni and Jeffrey

Very anti-social place when it comes to lakes. Most of them 'reside' from 1,000 to many thousands of feet above ground level. One of us ahead, heading through this channel. Jen looks back: A hint there's a lake somewhere higher. That was very smart of us...we reach the lake. We head for a position well above the lake. Jen mentioned we would attain better views. (What did we say about being so smart?) We found it to be a delightful view of just a small section of the water and contents. Waiting for the slower climbers. Earlier view of the surroundings on the way up. Looks like the old man will make it, finally. Some views at the top...the following 3 photos. Shown earlier in an introductory blog but then Jen paid a lot of money to 'show off' again. We found this part of the lake to be the most attractive. After crossing a very useful bridge...aren't they all. There she comes...quite a tough hike over the rocks a...

  We have visited New Zealand on 6 or 7 occasions, the last being in 2017. It seems that when we like a place, we tend to visit as often as possible until we are sated. It appears this is not a principle of moderation and balance. However, it feels like it's time to revisit. Included in this section are photographs depicting color and out of the way places plus a couple of old, tough favorites.  Outside of Wellington. Somewhere along the Abel Tasman Great Walk. Waikaremoana tramp, not Jen, it's the name of the Great Walk. The load becomes a little heavier as the day progresses. Waikaremoana  Falls. Mount Alford with clouds. Mount Alford, clear. Jen appears at bottom of photo. We see much greenery but it's not often one surpasses this coloring. Halfway up Avalanche Peak. Reaching the summit of a 'tough guy'. A day of sweat and incredible scenes at Avalanche Peak. Mount Fox, some rough forest on the way up ...
