I found this month's theme for A 'lil HooHaa's Photo Blogging Challenge challenging. I'm not one to make myself the center of attention. And tend to consider what other family members / friends would most prefer and then check that I'm okay with that, rathering than putting my preferences first. Anyhow I decided my best approach would be to photograph things / activities that I like.
Several priorities with deadlines took a lot of my time this month. So I had to think a little outside the box to come up with five photos for this edition of the Photo Blogging Challenge.
This post provides a high-level overview of our four weeks visiting multiple national parks/reserves in Patagonia and the high Atacama desert in January/February 2026.
We crammed a lot into our 4 full days based out of San Pedro de Atacama. Activities included a hot air balloon ride, visiti8ng a geyser field, photography, a short hike and a reunion with friends we made on our Antarctica cruise back in 2023.
I set two ground rules for this round of the Photo Blogging Challenge. First, I'd share THINGS I love (not people). And second, they'd be things I love NOW, knowing they'll be likely to change over time.
