Here's a few pictures from Svalbard, I went there three years ago with my mum and brother. I really wanted to see a polar bear but sadly we didn't spot one.

It was really weird being dark 24 hours a day. Not sure I could cope with that six months a year. And I fell off of the dog sled and broke my nose.

Oh wow, I would love so much to see the northern lights though!

The rainbow photo is just at a Walmart somewhere in NE, but it made me wanna call the bus Pot o Gold. Haha. Wyoming desert, first of Montana mountains, and a cecropia moth Caterpillar I found in the same town I let go the moths I raised 3 years ago.

Yesterday was warm enough to play in this Ice Water, today there's snow just north of us. Love Montana.

Beautiful pictures! That caterpillar is the biggest I've ever seen lol..

I've yet to visit Montana (or the Dakotas, Wyoming or Idaho), but they are all on my bucket list..

Wimps. You're lucky I'm too nice to post the tarantula pic my husband sent me last week!

I have pics somewhere on my laptop of a tarantula fighting a pepsis wasp (tarantula) that I took on a trip to the west Texas desert 🏜️...I'll have to dig them out and share them lol...

Yes, I've been to WA state...Seattle, the San Juan Islands and Olympic NP...it is indeed beautiful

I worked in Denali NP, AK one summer when I was in my early 20s, and it was a life-changing experience. After the resort closed for the season, I hitchhiked to the Kenai peninsula and tooled around Homer and Seward and environs for another week before flying back to Atlanta.

I really hope to get back to Denali one of these days..

Lots of good experiences shared on this thread. I wish I knew how to post some photos of my travels, but my technology skills are "old school."

This thread is a bright spot in the day.

Do you have them saved on the device you're using to access sf?

All those places look so lovely! Thank you all for posting such wonderful pictures! Even the spiders and snakes.

Took a hike despite air quality to see the view from a higher perspective. It isn't clearing up.
The graffiti is actually by one of the guys that painted our last bus. And, Idk if you can tell, but the rocks are an impressive circle of seats around a massive fire pit. My kids call it the "King's Circle" and we always wonder about its construction. It's a bit of a hike up there and not a lot of loose rocks like these around.

Didn't mean to post those as thumbnails. The last one is a natural staircase.
