I recently had the privilege of trekking to the first Mt Everest base camp in Nepal. It was one of the most amazing adventures I have ever experienced, in part, due to the group I travelled with. There were 12 of us (from 19 to 60 years of age) who made the trek together with fierce determination to make it to 17,500 feet. Despite a few minor mishaps with altitude sickness, we all plowed forward and made it all in one piece with an immense feeling of accomplishment. These photos below were taken by my friend and fellow traveler, Rick Burns and represent my view of ‘Forward’ for the photo challenge this week!
Please see the WordPress Photo Challenge: Forward for a peek at other great talents!
Photos really illustrate the theme excellently. Especially like the top photo.
Thanks Gayle! Hope you have a wonderful weekend!

These photos are amazing, and so reflect for the theme. I might have been a bit daunted by what lay ahead of you!
I can’t lie – it was a little daunting at times! I decided it was best to live in the moment and not worry about the future – very rare for me!
Perfect….it works every time for almost every dilemma 🙂
Right? Sometimes it’s hard to get to that place, but it does work!
