What is your summer home style? Bold and colorful or fresh and coastal?

As we sail through the Hudson Strait, with Silversea Expeditions, we’re witnessing a breathtaking spectacle of icebergs! These majestic ice giants we’re seeing began their journey far to the north, breaking off from ancient glaciers in Greenland or the Canadian Arctic. As we cruise past, it’s amazing to think these icebergs are on their own adventure, slowly drifting south along “Iceberg Alley”. Some may continue on to the Labrador Sea or even the North Atlantic, while others might ground themselves in shallower waters or melt away on their journey. The icebergs come in all shapes and sizes, with colors ranging from pristine white to deep, mesmerizing blue. It’s mind-boggling to realize that what we see is just the tip - about 90% of each iceberg is hidden beneath the waves! These frozen wanderers are like time capsules, formed from snow that fell thousands of years ago. As they melt, they’re releasing ancient air and freshwater into the ocean. It’s a humbling reminder of nature’s grand scale and the constant change happening in our world. Watching these icebergs drift by in the Hudson Strait is truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience - nature’s own parade of frozen giants! #arcticcruise #silverseaexpeditions #silverendeavour #roamingboomers #icebergs #hudsonstraight #nunavut #canada

REI recently decided to undertake a challenge to get 100 million people within 5 minutes of a green space. 🌳 Green spaces include: •Parks •forests •Trails •Rivers •Beaches •Any space for people to recreate in nature. This video is an example of why it is so important for people to experience a place that they can access the outdoors, and be able to know what it means to connect with nature. Not only being from, but also living in a place that is one big green space, it’s easy to take for granted the outdoors and how it’s helped mold me into who I am. Why can’t everyone have that same experience? Sometimes people don’t have a choice where they live. Not everyone is as spoiled to have the options that other people do to always have access to these spaces. This is why REI is creating their Outside In 5 initiative to help everyone get to a place where they can experience nature and the good it brings. We are partnering with local projects as well as urging congress to pass the Outdoors For All Act to help accomplish this goal. Check out the REI website (link below) if you’re interested to learn more and how you can help the change! 🌿 https://lnkd.in/gTB2efqk . . . #rei #outsidein5 #proudreiemployee #change

CONTEMPLATION: AN OCEAN, A SUNSET, A CLIFF AND YOU You have seen it; you arrive at the ocean at sunset — a seaside overlook on the northern California coast, a sprawling beach on Florida’s Gulf of Mexico, or, in this case, a sheer cliff overlooking a narrow beach on the Oregon coast. You’re rarely alone; others come to the scene. It’s kind of like the opening scene from the movie City of Angels, where all the Angels and their black jackets gather on a Los Angeles beach. It had been a long day of driving from the Lost Coast in extreme northern California up U.S. 101 into Gold Beach, Oregon. We dined on Rogue River trout preceded with clam chowder – if I’m on the coast, I always eat clam chowder with dinner – and decided to walk the cliffs before sunset. Driving up the coast north of town, we found a parking area in a trailhead off of the Old Coast Road and took the trail to Otter Point. Walking through the seagrass, spelling the salt air, the wildflowers, in the waning afternoon, was such a moment of peace as if there were nothing else in the world. I don’t know what it is about coastal overlooks, but on that trip taking the scenic coastal road, California Highway 1, from San Francisco to Crater Lake National Park, every time we’d stopped to gaze out across the ocean and the soothing moment from the movement of the waves, there’d be others with us doing the same thing. Perhaps it’s something that’s primal deep in the depths of our minds. #Oregon #oregoncoast #goldbeach #visitoregon #agatebeach #otterpoint #oceanview #pacificocean #lostcoast #californialife #sanfrancisco #losangelescalifornia #beaches #overlookingviews #scenicviews #us101 #craterlakenationalpark #hwy1 #cityofangels #MegRyan #nicholascage #angels
