Sangomore Beach is one of many beach areas in Durness, Scotland. This one is a lovely cove with white sand.

This nursery in Port Orchard, WA has a little charming Hobbit House at the back. We wrote more about it in this post.

Not too far from Seattle, Steven's pass has several different ski runs and cross-country areas.

This is a park with a small footpath that takes you down to Shadow Lake. The trumpeter swans mostly stay to the other side of the lake, but are easy to view, especially if you bring binoculars or a long camera lens. It's fun to watch the swans take off in the morning.

We've posted a hike along the trail here on one of our routes pages.

Faraid Head is a point in Durness up from Balnakeil Beach that's known for puffin viewing at the right time of year.
