Fog Rolls in on the Island of Capri

After a sunny day exploring the island of Capri, it was fun to take the chair lift in Anacapri all the way to the very top to take a view of the island and surrounding area.  The fog rolling in on one side of the island created quite a juxtaposition with the sun on the […]

Walking the Ruins at Pompeii

I’m still traveling, and wanted to share another photo from the road.  This one is of the ruins at Pompeii.  It was a warm day, and I spent hours wandering the ruins and marveling at this ancient civilization.  There’ll be more about this fascinating place in a later post.

My first real impression of the city was coming up from the subway (Colosseo stop) and finding this in front of you.  It literally took my […]

What’s Out Your Window?

In my blog posts, I frequently share with you what I see out of my hotel window — beautiful beaches, the ocean, a storm brewing, a majestic skyline, or simply some architecture or flora that may have caught my attention.  I share with you what I am looking at as I travel around the […]

Find a Place to Sit & Think While You’re on Vacation

Sometimes the best part of a vacation is just slowing down, taking a few minutes to sit and contemplate the meaning of life. . . enjoying the sun on your back and looking at the ocean.
This photo was taken on the island of Kauai, where I spent a fair amount of time doing just […]

Lions & Tigers & Bears & Oh My!

When I went to see finalists and winners of the 2007 Nature’s Best Photography International Awards, I expected to see those lions and tigers and bears, but what was on display there was a whole lot more than that.
I saw the award winners of this competition last year, and since I’m a big fan of […]
