Tuesday Travelogue-October 14th

By
Real Estate Agent with John L Scott Market Center 700512026

Welcome to the ongoing weekly series called Tuesday Travelogue. We are in our fifteenth  week! Each week, some ActiveRain bloggers are spotlighted to take us somewhere we may not have been on some kind of virtual travel (and it doesn't cost a dime!). Here is the purpose:

 

" to enjoy the ride"

"take a trip without even leaving the farm"

"expand your horizons"

"see through someone else's eyes"

 and hopefully much more!

I noticed this week, after compiling my choices, that it was all about Male Bonding. You won't have to go drumming in the woods to get a flavor of the out-of-doors with these guys!

Rene` Fabre always takes me on the most amazing trips, all under the guise of "work" (yeah right, Rene`). This was no exception! Come with Rene` to the San Juan Islands--you will be SO pleased that you hopped a ride! (Let me tell you that his photos were so remarkable that it was hard to pick just one...)

Eastsound waterfront is amazing! So pristine and quiet this afternoon.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Alan May is not known for letting go of his business and actually taking a vacation. So, all the better that he was blown away by the splendor of Aspen Colorado on his recent trip.

I'm a sucker for sunset (and sunrise) pictures. This post was a simple one. Just filled with evening's glory brought to you by Mark Don McInnes on a Sunday in Naples and Dark Fork, Idaho. Sometimes simple is the best message.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Another bit of  nature that pulls at me are the splash of colors that autumn brings to the east coast. Having been there recently, driving through Ohio and New York state, I marveled at the transformation the trees were making. As I was driving, I couldn't take the time to photograph the visuals I was taking in. So, I will leave you with Ed Silva's visual time lapse of a couple of weeks in Watertown, Connecticut for your viewing pleasure!

John McCormack highly necessary!! This was the first time I've flown since 2007! Took a grand trip back east--glorious and perfect--I also took along a book that I would highly recommend, Travels with Charley a bio of John Steinbeck's trip across America with his dog, Charley. Truly TRULY a remarkable book!! (And not very big, either). He's just been through the Redwoods, a place that my hubby and I will go to next year, hopefully.

Noah Seidenberg , I count my blessings both virtually and realistically every day as I take my travels. Happy to share!

Thank you, Alan May for sharing even more of these stunners! What a lucky guy you were to do that...see it PAYS (the spirit) to take time away from the office.

Sheila, weren't they??

Kristin Johnston, Waukesha Realtor 414-254-6647 , me too, ME, TOO!!! I absolutely have a blast putting these together. 

Sharon, it's a delight to show off these Rain Travelers.

Well, Roger D. Mucci , you need to get your butt (and the rest of you) TO NY and then post about it and I'll be happy to include it!

My Colorado trip was awesome - Kelsea got a new camera for her birthday and we were playing with that - so, my photos are only on my iphone - she has all the quality stuff. Hahaha. Not really blog worthy but, cool to see in person. Here's a shot from Boulder...they were fly fishing on a gorgeous fall day...

When I get some time in with hubby and Mac - I'll be back in the Rain to spend more time exploring these other travel posts. They look cool...

Debb Janes , I just LOVE that you, Alan and Roger all shared cool pics inside the comment sections--so much fun that this brings out in people! Great photos, with sort of rainbowish tones to it. 

I have to call you and catch up!
