Alaska never disappoints! This photo of Ptarmigan Creek in Moose Pass on the Kenai Peninsula was taken by Blake, Meagan’s cousin. We love how the sun shining in highlights the gorgeous purple fireweed!

When the sun shines through the stained glass windows at Sainte-Chappelle on the Île de la Cité in Paris, the entire sanctuary glows with sparkling light and color. This 13th century cathedral was commissioned by King Louis IX to house his collection of Passion Relics, including Christ’s crown of thorns – one of the most important relics in medieval Christendom.

We fell in love with this view as we entered into Pommard on our bicycles in Burgundy, France last week! This lovely town on the Route des Grands Crus is surrounded by vineyards and produces only red wines. You can see more of our favorite Route des Grands Crus pictures here.

Our friend Timothy and his wife recently honeymooned in Iceland! Here’s what he has to say about the church shown in this beautiful shot: “Dating back to the 17th century, Grafarkirkja is the oldest Christian church in Iceland. The church was deconsecrated not too soon after being built and was used as a tool shed thereafter. However, in 1950 the National Museum of Iceland had the building reconstructed to it original form complete with turf roof.”

While I was studying in Tokyo, my mother came to visit for a week. During her stay, we took the train out to Kamakura to see the Daibutsu, or Great Buddha, a 44ft tall bronze monument dating back to the middle of the 13th century. The crowds were heading back to their tour buses as we arrived, so we were lucky to get lots of pictures with no one else in them. Even so, this picture of a young brother and sister peeking through the lantern is my favorite. -Meagan

This is beautiful Luxembourgh City! The shot was taken by my lovely niece Carey during a weekend trip to Belgium & Luxembourgh from her study abroad program in Germany. She was in the original village along the old wall with the city center in the background. I completely adore the colors in this shot!

Shot of the Week: Arthur’s Seat in May
My sister and brother-in-law took a two-night trip to Edinburgh, Scotland from England last weekend. One of their favorite activities was the hike to Arthur’s Seat, the highest point in the city and a dormant volcano, that affords fabulous views of the surrounding area. When I saw this photo on Scott’s Instagram feed, I knew we had our Shot of the Week! Yellow gorse and other spring flowers are in full bloom in May and the colors are just spectacular.
