Our Amazing Planet Stories

For the past two years we have been fortunate to write for a website called Our Amazing Planet - http://www.ouramazingplanet.com/ .  As the name implies, this sight highlights all aspects of the planet Earth with great stories and beautiful pictures.

We have added links for our stories that have been published.  Some have Arizona themes, some themes from around the United States and some are from our travels around the world.  Hope you enjoy our photos and our stories.
