Steps can lead us to many different places in life. Whether you are “taking two steps forward and one step back” or taking “one small step for man” it’s important to remember this: “A journey of a thousand miles must begins with a single step.”. Here are some steps that we’ve enjoyed climbing through our lives for this week’s #FriFotos – Steps.
For thousands of years the horizon has always been an enigma to humanity. Always present, but never reachable. Much like the fabled end of the rainbow, one knows it exists, but accepts that he will never be able to reach out and touch it. Because of this, it has taken on many different meanings to different people. Whether it represents a new beginning in life, the eternity of the soul, the vastness of our tiny world, or the end of life, it’s a deeply meaningful and impacting image. Sailors peered off into the horizon for hopes of new land, pioneers saw mountains and envisioned new lives beyond their great masses, and in the olden days it was symbolic of the threshold of this world and the next. With that in mind, here are some of our favorite horizons for this weeks #FriFotos.
Kenin and I had the absolute pleasure of visiting the Georgia Aquarium while in Atlanta last fall. I wanted to visit the aquarium when it first opened in 2005, but something always seemed to get in the way. Nothing was going to stop me from seeing the whale sharks and manta rays on this trip. I woke up early and was ready to go before Kenin even had his first cup of coffee. Georgia Aquarium here I come!
Mother’s Day is upon us once again. Mother’s Day is always tough here in our house. My mother lives over 1500 miles away and Kenin’s mother passed away very early in our relationship. This doesn’t deter us from celebrating all of the mothers in our lives though. We still appreciate every mother we know and the time and effort they put into raising great kids. This Mother’s Day, I wanted to take pause from our travel writing and pay tribute to the lady that brought me into this world, my mother! Narisha Khan, this post is for you – Celebrating Mother’s Day Rambler Style!! Love ya mummy!
We had the pleasure of driving past the astounding Kluane Lake twice while on our journey from Florida to Alaska. We first drove past Kluane Lake (the proper order of the name) on the way up to Tok, Alaska during a mild snow storm. We then drove past the lake a second time on a beautiful , clear day on our way back out of Alaska. It was a little hard to believe that it was the same lake on the same stretch of road. Both times we found the lake absolutely stunning, and can see why it is a major attraction to visitors year round. I put together this short photo essay (with video) to share the natural wonder and beauty of Kluane Lake with the world.
