Al and Sunny Lockwood have traveled by foot, car, rail, air and cruise ship. They've camped in national parks, hiked mountain trails, photographed springtime flowers in Death Valley and wintry surf along the rugged beaches of Northern California. They've watched July 4th fireworks over Lake Tahoe, explored the Taos Pueblo and ridden the Great Smoky Mountains Railroad through forests ablaze with autumn colors. From North Carolina's Outer Banks to New Orleans' Burbon Street and Nashville's Grand Ole Opry, they love to wander and wonder and enjoy. And everywhere they go, they capture unforgettable moments -- Al with his camera and Sunny with her reporter's notebook -- to share with their readers.
