Standin’ on a Corner in Winslow, Arizona

Standing on a Corner in Winslow Arizona

David and I are both huge Eagles fans and firm believers in a “Take It Easy” lifestyle, but we had never been standing on a corner in Winslow, Arizona. Call us wacky, we were pretty stoked about the prospect.

The town of Winslow is pretty stoked, as well. They built a little monument to the lyric, complete with a reflection of “a girl, my lord, in a flatbed Ford slowing down to take a look” at the statue named “Standing On The Corner.” The mood is captured.

Our Entries to People Pics

We were invited to enter the People Pics Competition – we LOVE photo competitions! Excited to submit our two entries!

Little Elvis

We caught “Little Elvis” headed toward the Lisa Marie on the grounds of Graceland. His parents INSISTED that they had nothing to do with the choice of his outfit, that Little Elvis was simply a true fan. Thank you, thank you very much.

Galapagos Bird Island Duo

This is one of my favorite shots! The animals are so friendly in the Galapagos, including when in flight – the expressions on these guys’ faces are priceless as this frigate comes in for a closer look. I think I was the only one who remembered I had a camera!

Alghero Sand Castle

Amazing Sand Castle in Alghero, Sardinia!

Our first trip as a post-child-rearing couple coincided exactly with the official beginning our empty nest. On our son’s first day of college we were getting on a plane to Sardinia. It turned out to be a trip filled with firsts. First time in Sardinia, first time on an island in the Mediterranean, first time drinking Mirto, first time on a boat in the Mediterranean, and our first time eating donkey.

The amazing experiences on that trip instilled a burning desire to keep going. To keep moving, see new places, meet new people, and absorb as much of the world as we possibly could. Not long after that we embarked on our new life as full-time traveling gypsy empty nesters, GypsyNesters!

The photo is the first thing we saw when we hit the beach in Alghero – the most amazing sand “castle we’ve ever seen!
