Great photos. I would like to try that cucumber beer. :)
ReplyDeleteIf you will, can you put at least one link to one of the hosts so others can find the linky.
The cucumber beer was light and fresh. Wicked Weed is amazing. I thought I had the link. Please double check and make sure its accurate. Sorry about that!
DeleteIt is perfect. Thanks for adding it in. Looking forward to catching up on Monday.
DeleteHey, the linky thing also works, too now for me. Talk soon. Great shots.
DeleteThat's definitely a PROPER roadtrip, 1300 miles, wow!! I'm looking forward to a road trip in the start of the autumn here in Norway, and can't wait to capture some similar moments with my iPhone. :)
ReplyDeleteOhh man, that's a serous trip you took!!!
ReplyDeleteCucumber and beer - did I see that right
Yes, you saw that right! It was actually a very light and refreshing beer. They also had a fabulous beer brewed with beets! Both were surprisingly great!
DeleteBeautiful trip - I especially loved the image of the covered bridge!
ReplyDeleteThanks!
DeleteI always think I'm doing okay with my Instagrams and then I check out some of the ones people on #IGTravelThursday post and I'm like, "Geez, I need to get better." Great job!
ReplyDeleteThank you!! I love the way that Instagram can turn a pretty random shot into a fabulous work of art! I experiment a lot with the IG filters, angle and cropping!!
