After looking through many of these sorts of calendars, I have found the Audubon one to be my personal favorite. I buy one of these calendars every year for my mother. She loves looking through the pictures each day and they are stunning.
The photos are beautiful. They simply make you want to be there.
Photos are about 6"x9" with a similar facing page to plan out a full week. My kids and I look forward every year to thumb through the new calendar when I open it on Christmas.
I have used the Audubon Engagement Calendar for many years. On most of our trips I plan at least a couple of stops to places photographed in this calendar.
Plenty of room for notes and scheduling events. My kids now buy me a new one every year for Christmas.
I am trying to get my kids to all 50 states before they go to college.
I had to settle for Sierra Club's last year (didn't know you could buy them on Amazon then) - their pictures are good, but not nearly as good as Audubon - Sierra Club wastes a lot of space with white framing around the pictures, which makes the picture smaller and less impressive. I always look for the Audubon calendar - it has the best pictures by far and plenty of room to write.
Altogether a high quality engagement calendar, and as an added bonus, purchase of the calendar supports the National Audubon Society. There is plenty of room to write in. I have been ordering the Audubon engagement calendar for several years now, and have been impressed with the consistently excellent quality of the product.The photos create a good mix of landscapes and animals, and are tied to the seasons. Captions describe where the photos were taken, and identify the flora and fauna depicted in them.
