Sunrise Beach on Koh Lipe, the best place to stay on this small island

A peaceful January morning

Dusk on Sunrise Beach

We tried a few times to capture those cool pics you see where everyone is jumping perfectly at the same time - didn't work. But, the water was beautiful that evening, so I still love the photo.

The life of teenagers means that it is much more difficult for us to get very far on the weekends these days, as everyone has something going on that they need a ride to/from. Thankfully, cross-country skiing is keeping us sane, as @reneetougas and I steal away every chance we get to explore the city parks. Today was pretty cold (-29C with the wind chill) so we had the trails to ourselves.

King Rama IX Park, a few minutes from our house, where I spend every (Ok, most, not every) Saturday morning running in order to escape the urban jungle of concrete I spend the weekdays in

It was @celine's turn for a ski with me today. We had a couple inches of fresh powder and the temperature was a little warmer than the few days, so it made for very nice conditions.

I snapped this one on today's ski with @celine, I am really happy with how it turned out, it really feels like it captures the motion quite well.

Some people like to spend their winter holiday in warm places, heading south. We like to head "up" and spend our holiday in the mountains, which is what we did for a few days after Christmas this year, hiking in Rocky Mountain National Park. This photo shows Stephanie and Chase enjoying the view across frozen Mills Lake.

First hike of 2018.

Today’s hike was short - a 45 minute late afternoon saunter since Stephanie is recovering from a cold - a 1.3 mile loop out of Blair.

Temps about 30, blue sky, no wind, and a packed snowy trail.
