sharing my thoughts through words and images
I’m back! I’ve taken a hiatus from my blog to get caught up on other things. My last post was shortly before a 15-day cruise that took me through the Panama Canal. When I returned, I had to focus on a few rather mundane… Continue Reading “Panama Canal Cruise”
When we first moved to Vermont, there were no oak trees growing naturally or in the forest on our property – or for that matter – anywhere near us. I’m not sure why. They are certainly hardy here and they do grow naturally along the Connecticut River… Continue Reading “Snowy Oak”
April 13, 2023 My room at the Hôtel La Bastide d’Olt was ready shortly after finishing up my beer in the bar. At around 54 euros each for the “demi-pension”, this place was a real bargain. Our room was actually on 2 levels – one main… Continue Reading “Le Puy Camino – via Podiensis: Golinhac to Conques”
As I watch the snow fall outside at a rate of about 1″ per hour, I thought I’d take some photographs of my indoor geraniums to lift my spirits! I hate being cooped up inside and playing with my camera always moves my focus towards… Continue Reading “Indoor Geraniums”

These adorable snowmen always featured some aspect of nature – usually adorned with birds… Continue Reading “Holiday Traditions 12.22.23”
The ornaments commemorating the First Christmas celebration for both of my sons are precious – one in the year 1988 and one in the year 1992! Adorable! When we still lived in Pennsylvania near Longwood Gardens, it was an annual tradition to visit the Christmas… Continue Reading “Holiday Traditions 12.20.23”
April 11, 2023 Today’s walk to the picturesque village of Estaing was by far my favorite day since the beginning of the journey. It would also prove to be the longest – clocking in at 21.5 kilometers. The weather started out cloudy with a… Continue Reading “Le Puy Camino – via Podiensis: Saint-Côme d’Olt to Estaing”
