Our 47th Anniversary, celebrated in Green Valley, AZ in January, 2018.
Travels with Paul and Grace Pitzer
We created this site so our friends, through our photographs, can enjoy the places we have visited around the world. As we continue to be able to travel, we will add to this collection of photo Galleries, Slideshows and the Blog.
Recent Trips
March 27 - April 10, 2017 we had the privileged of being able to repeat the "Baja, California; A Remarkable Journey" photo expedition with Lindblad aboard the National Geographic Sea Lion. Our good friend Jack Swenson was the Expedition Leader and he guided us around Baja and into the Sea of Cortez looking for marine mammals and taking walks on isolated islands. It was a fabulous trip.
February 1 - 12, 2017 we took our second trip to Cuba on a People-to-People trip: Cuba Revealed: Cultural Pathways from Camaguey to Havana, with Grand Circle Foundation. It was a great trip and we saw a different area of Cuba from our 2013 trip.
April/May 2016 we had a great three weeks in Italy on an OAT trip: Tuscany and Umbria: Rustic Beauty in the Italian Heartland. I have a few Blog posts about some of our unusual experiences.
We had two fabulous trips in 2015. The first was to Eastern Europe. It was really two trips back-to-back. The first was an Overseas Adventure Travel trip: "Jewels of Bohemia: Germany, Czech Republic, Slovakia & Hungary" followed by a river cruise on the Danube with Grand Circle Travel: "Eastern Europe to the Black Sea: Budapest to Bucharest."
The second great trip was "Wildlife Paradise Photo Safari by Private Air: Including South Africa, Botswana and Namibia," with Jack and Rikki Swenson through Lindblad Expeditions and Eyes on Africa. We were promised leopards, and were not disappointed. |
Beautiful Spring In Portland
We returned to Portland from Green Valley, AZ in time for some very beautiful weather. It only lasted a week before the rain returned, but that gave Grace time to take her cameras out to capture some of the gorgeous flowers blooming in the area. These are some pictures from a walk to Multnomah Village, Trillium from Woods Park, and a visit to the Wooden Shoe Tulip Farm in Woodburn, OR.

Classes for Winter 2018
I taught the following classes at the Green Valley Camera Club, Arizona. Below are links to pages I have made for each class, which include my handouts and tutorials.
Grace's Blog
Grace was diagnosed with breast cancer in March, 2017 and we stayed home to do everything right to insure a long life and more travels. She started Grace Blog, in the menu bar, and added posts for each new phase. She took this on as her summer/fall "project" and did whatever it took to have "No Regrets," Her favorite Edith Piaf aria.
Latest Blog post, December 28, 2017. (End of Radiation and On With Life!!!) We returned to our tradition of winter in Arizona with Grace teaching at the Camera Club. All is Good!!! |
