I really enjoyed our trip to Portugal. Excellent local wines and ports. There is a picture of Evelyn enjoying a vineyard. Drove to Lisbon, Porto, Monsanto, Sintra, the west coast and many points between, but not necessarily in this order. Click on a cropped image below to see the full frame and scroll through them.

I recently returned from a trip to the Canary Islands, I posted some pictures below. Driving the hairpin, single lane roads up and down the spectacular forested and volcanic peaks of the Islands was a real treat, but it certainly made my frequent stops a little dicey. I plan to have some new etchings from the trip with me this summer. Click on a cropped image below to see the full frame and scroll through them. Evelyn and I recently returned from an excellent three week trip to Peru. That country has a ton of ecological diversity and 5,000 years of civilization: Inca ruins and Colonial cities, the most colourful organically died and woven alpaca wool, Pisco sours and the best ceviche. We travelled by boat, pane, bus, and train from the Ballistas Islands in the Pacific to the Sacred Valley of the Incas and Machu Picchu in the Andes, from the depths of the Amazon Rainforest to the immensity of the Colca Canyon which is twice as deep as the Grand Canyon.

The people, the food, the history, the culture, the landscape….everything was amazing. Rice paddies, Halong Bay, jungle temple, floating market, and real? art.

I was thrilled to be able to make this trip down one the most wild and beautiful rivers in Canada with my boys and some cousins.

While attending the opening of my solo traveling show “into the woods” in Kamloops, BC, I visited a friend in Victoria who told me about this remarkable, recently discovered, old growth forest aptly called the “Avatar Grove” Click on a cropped image below to see the full frame and scroll through them. I had the good fortune to meet up with one of my sons, Dustin, who was working as a biologist for the Department of Fisheries and Oceans in British Columbia. We traveled to the Cascade Mountains at Waterton Lakes National Park in Southern Alberta and down into Glacier Lake National Park in Montana.
