Welcome to Ponce
The Cuidad de Leones (City of Lions) and La Perla del Sur (Pearl of the South) are some of the names used to describe the city of Ponce located on the small island of Puerto Rico. Ponce sits between a Central Mountain Range and the Caribbean Sea and received its name from the island’s first governor, Juan Ponce de León. It’s also the second-largest city on the island after San Juan.

The days were most cloudy at that time of year and when a nice day occurred, it tended to brighten my mood. That’s what happened one day back in February when the weather was beautiful. That day the sun was shining, the temperatures were well above freezing, the snow was melting (although not quickly enough for me) and I decided it was too nice outside to waste the day hibernating inside my house. I decided to take a long drive and went to one of my favorite places: Captree State Park.

My passion for travel photography was rekindled, as luck would have it, by a Facebook algorithm. Your memories for December 18, 2016

Without doubt, the Dingle peninsula is one of the most stunning areas that I have visited in Ireland. Over the years, I have visited the famous town of Dingle multiple times. So, over the holiday season, it was time to return and delve further into the peninsula to explore new areas. Let me tell you that the road trip did not disappoint and was so much fun.

It's not so much that the mountains rise. It's more like the land falls away. The plains of Alberta are thousands of feet above sea level, a high plateau that seems to stretch on forever into the Canadian prairies. But even the prairie ends eventually. Located on the border between Alberta and British Columbia, Jasper National Park marks a shift from flat land to mountain. Approaching from the east, the road plunges along a river valley, and frowning mountains suddenly surround you.

Jumping out of the van crammed with our small group of eight “Intrepid Travelers,” the cool January air of the desert was somewhat refreshing. I couldn’t believe I was finally standing in the vicinity of the Great Pyramid of Giza. As a young child, I would sit on my grandmother’s beige carpeted floor and read books about what I thought were fantastical lands. Egypt was far out of the realm of my reality growing up in a large suburban city outside of Toronto.

#1: New Resie Partial View If you have read any of my stories or know me, you would know that I am from southern Illinois. I never used to think of it as being so very different than other places in the United States until I started to see the world for myself. This picture is of a small lake that we call the New Resie. It's slang we came up with for the New Reservoir. When I went to write this, I realized I had no idea how to spell our slang word. Did it have an "ie" at the end? Maybe a "y"? What about a "z"? Did we just randomly add a "z" to it? So I did what all curious people do now a days and Googled it. I went through 5 different websites. Not one of them had our slang word. There were 10 different common slang words for Reservoir, but not one of them was what I grew up saying. One was pretty close, res, but it just didn't sound right to me. Google wasn't being of much help in that area, so I changed my search. I looked up this lake to see if anyone called it by it's southern name in google reviews, but do you know what happened? Google said that this lake didn't even exist. I grew up going to this lake and watching my dad leave for an early morning fishing trip here. It wasn't that far from our house and we had been out on it more than once on a boat. My dad would go ice fishing here. It's well known to me and I thought everyone else in this area, so why hadn't google ever heard of it? I still was determined to figure out how to spell our slang. My dad and mom didn't know, so I had to turn to Facebook. There I found out that we made it up so however I want to spell it is fine. So, this is a photo of the New Resie in southern IL. Do not ask me what town it is in, because I will have to go through the same research to find out that it is not in a town at all.

8:23 AM When you walk up to me what do you see? Are you looking for food, or do you wonder at the exhaustion that covers my appearance as I take my morning trek on the shores of your home?

It was summer 2009, and my divorce was final after a Colorado mandated three-month separation. One month prior to being “separated,” I had just returned from a difficult 15-month tour in Iraq. While deployed with the 4th Infantry Division in Baghdad, I was part of a combined arms team of nearly 6000 U.S. service members fighting to win The Battle of Sadr City through the worst combat since the initial invasion of Iraq in 2003.

A branch cracked above me A noise trees make in winter. Shriveled leaves rattle to the northern wind. Branches turn brittle once the sap stops flowing. North of here, it gets so cold that trees explode. I moved to the warmest part of Canada for a reason.
