I didn’t realize it until I left Morocco and backed up all my photos on my computer, but I guess I really loved shooting photos of Moroccan doors! I don’t know how many I ended up with in total, but here’s a selection of 13 of my favorites. Most of the blue ones you’ll see
Situated in the Balkans along the Adriatic Sea, Montenegro is one gorgeous country. While there, I visited three regions: Bay of Kotor, Budva Riviera, and Central. The Bay of Kotor is a UNESCO Heritage Site and is considered one of the most beautiful bays in all of Europe, and I certainly can’t disagree. I have

I’m headed home to good old south central Pennsylvania for the holidays. I leave tomorrow and will spend five wonderful days visiting my family and friends. I realized that I’ve never written much about where I’m from. I guess when you live in a place your entire life it’s hard to think of it as
As cliché as it may be, after seeing In Bruges, I knew I needed to visit this historic city. While watching the movie, I found myself totally drawn to the backdrop and already scheming ways in which I could go. On my most recent visit to the Netherlands, I convinced my lovely friend, Beata, to take
When I visited Little Rock a few months ago, I had the pleasure of visiting the Garvan Woodland Gardens.
