Flashback to another autumn... in Canada. Los Angeles doesn't have the same feeling at this time of year that I grew up with in the North East but I definitely found some of that in Vancouver with Canada Keep Exploring

For my visit to Sonoma, I wanted to support a lot of small businesses and particularly, BIPOC-owned small businesses. I was going to eat or drink at a different one for every meal and spread the love as far as possible. Not all of the ones I had bookmarked were open or open when I could visit. That’s the way it goes sometimes and even more so in 2020 when for safety reasons things can change multiple times in a week. But I still want to share all the ones I had on my list, tagged in my photo if they have IG, so you’re aware for when you can visit and so they’re supported at least in some way. And I want to thank @sonomacounty for having their own blog post about all the Black-owned businesses to be customers of in the area. That’s the type of article I’d like to see from more tourism organizations. As I’ve said before they’re a DSO not a DMO and that distinction is apparent once you start to look for it. . Speaking of stewardship, it was easy to find plenty of places to enjoy nature in Sonoma County. From rocky coastline to wide open fields glowing at sunrise to rolling hills to dense Redwood forests, I had my fill of nature and then some. And I didn’t have to share it with crowds of trail runners like the canyon outside our door in Los Angeles. Nature has no business hours and orgs like @sonomalandtrust are working to ensure it is protected in Northern California. But would that even be needed if humanity had adopted the mindset Indigenous people have always had? This is what I wonder. In fact, studies are suggesting that we wouldn’t even have the annual wildfire season we have if forestry took an Indigenous approach. I still need to read/learn more before I feel confident going into detail. But in that vein, I want to acknowledge that according to native-land.ca when I visited Sonoma, I was on the land of the Coast Miwok and Southern Pomo. . Are there any questions I can answer about road tripping Sonoma? Are you planning any California road trips in the future? . . . #visitcalifornia #sonomacounty #lifeopensup #travelkindly #visitsonoma @ Sonoma County, CA

Today on Twitter I am co-hosting a chat about what it's like to Travel Alaska during autumn or fall. I thought it was about time I put together a photo essay of my own visit in honor of the occasion: https://www.kirstenalanaphotography.com/autumn-in-alaska

I was shocked to discover looking back at my own archives how few fall or autumn images I have shot during my career - or even just for personal enjoyment - in fact I’ve discovered that in the previous life of travel freedom we all enjoyed before COVID, I was almost always in a place like Egypt or South Africa or Venice during peak foliage season in the Northern Hemisphere and now I live in Los Angeles where yesterday it was 97F 😳🤣 No changing leaves here! . So, new life goal once we all get back to a new normal that doesn’t revolve around a pandemic: experience autumn in all its splendor every single year. Because this year as I am counting the blessings I do have, I’ve realized the ones I want to have in the future with a clarity not previously experienced. ❤️
