Lions Head from the top of Signal Hill A hawker at one of the markets in Cape Town. We really liked this painting, but it might be a bit hard to [...]  One of the hornbill residents of the World of Birds. Many of the birds in this wildlife sanctuary are injured and come here to rehabilitate. This bird ran over to us at the fence and pecked my camera lens, hard. Too funny, but thankfully was not an eye. The colors and canal and lovers of Burano, Italy. OK- huggers, but I thought it made for a good shot. Burano Bicycle.

I’ve been practicing some wildlife photography, and decided I really need a better lens. My Tamron super zoom with a teleconverter is just not very crisp. This time is different, a blend of [...]
Hvar, Croatia, from the citadel Spanjola above town. This is from our trip through the Dalmatian Coast last May.

We loved this view of the flying buttresses of the Cathedral Saint-Louis de Blois from the area in front of the castle. We’ve loved the history and castles here in the Loire Valley, although I have fallen a little behind in the blog here, as I’ve been under the weather. Standing on top of the world. We drove up to Port de Cabus and looked over the edge into Spain. Looking down into Andorra from Port de Cabus. If you look carefully, there is a little band of horses in the bottom left of the photo, mares and babies. At the viewpoint for Alt [...] It was a beautiful day when we made the drive to Pisa this week. I love the contrast of the blues and greens of sky and grass with the grey and white of the buildings. This is the Duomo, the cathedral on the Campo with the famous leaning tower. The Camposanto in Pisa. We [...] Wall art in the tunnel of love- Via dell’Amore, near Riomaggiore, Italy, one of the Cinque Terre. Lovers bring locks to tie their love in the Via dell’Amore.
