Life in Pictures

Can you believe this is in Washington Heights NYC? These are apartments in front the house George Washington was based in during the revolutionary war. They are probably staff quarters. Today they are privately owned and look the way they did in the 18th century.
The biggest adventure is living the life of your dreams... not always easy or fun, but most definitely worthwhile.

When we match colors 😜 #sundayfunday
As many of you know, nature is my temple and these past few days have been nothing short of magical. I got to realize my dream of visiting our country’s first National Park and witness its raw, untamed beauty and it’s furry and hoofed inhabitants. In the Serengeti of America- Lamar Valley- we saw herds of the majestic bison and their red babies, elk, prong horns. In the rocky canyons, we spotted mountain goats (and their adorable babies) and big horn sheep. We even saw an Osprey nest! Of course, nothing compares to the stunningly beautiful waterfalls and geyser basins with their roaring geysers, gurgling fumaroles, bubbling mud pots, and the aquamarine hot springs.
Revisiting history and spotting wildlife at the Old Trail town... and reconsidering watching #westworld. 😄

Got Panama on my brain today. View from the Intercontinental overlooking the ships passing through.
When you unexpectedly come across a baby pine forest on a trail, life is indeed beautiful
This is the Ohi’a ’ai (Mountain Apple) tree found in gardens and farms in Hawaii and Southeast Asia. I found this gorgeous tree in bloom on a hike in Halawa Valley in Molokai. In the spring, the tree produces tons of these magenta-crimson colored flowers with a dusting of gold specks. The petals create a lush pink carpet at the bottom when they fall. Despite the name, the fruit is nothing like the apples we get from the supermarket. They are bell shaped, juicy, and taste really sweet. Locals even make a syrupy wine with the ripened fruits. Sounds so delicious, doesn’t it?
