Travel Magnolia is a little more than one year and 100 posts “old.” In celebration, I would like to share a few of my favorite photos and moments (not including food – which must wait for a Friday…). Continue reading “100 Posts of People and Places”
We interrupt our regularly scheduled blog post to share our most recent adventure: a road trip from to Trappers Lake and the Flat Top Wilderness Area in Colorado. We left Jackson Hole first thing last Friday after three solid days of rain; the early morning departure rewarded us with stunning views of the Tetons and its mantle of fresh snow. Intermittent fog blanketed the valley as we headed … Continue reading Rocky Mountain Road Trip | Jackson, Wyoming to Meeker, Colorado
Sometimes, there is no place like home, especially when that happens to be a short drive from one of the most magical places on earth (and I am not talking about Disneyland). Grand Teton National Park (GTNP) may be overshadowed by its neighbor to the north (Yellowstone), but for many of us, it is “the park,” as in “I’m going biking, cross-country skiing, hiking, snow-shoeing, … Continue reading Now for something completely different! | Hiking in Grand Teton National Park, Wyoming

There are many wonderful spots, but I highly recommend a night or … Continue reading Mingalaba Myanmar – Part I – Inle Lake

When I took this shot, I imagined myself as a spy hoping to see more than what lies on the surface. Today’s post is based on https://dailypost.wordpress.com/dp_photo_challenge/half-and-half/ Continue reading Double Vision in Venice, Italy
I spent this weekend at the Sun Valley Writers’ Conference. This year’s theme was “How Do We Remember” and featured Anthony Doerr, Mary Roach, William Dalrymple and a host of other talented authors. Their presentations over the four days provided great food for thought especially regarding creative process and expression. During one of the breaks, I went for a short hike over terrain that had … Continue reading How I Remember
