Hey! I'm the one on the left having some fun on a trip to Morocco! Thanks for stopping by! Having retired from the corporate world, my days are now packed with photography, blogging and seeing the world around me. My photography is varied...a reflection of who I am...my love of people...experiencing different lifestyles and cultures...with a little abstract thrown in!

nature’s sanctuary
How does one describe the wonder and mystery of nature? In Celtic mythology the birch tree is a protector of evil and in Welsh folklore it’s associated with love… so it was no surprise to see firsthand the natural embrace the birch trees had over this incredible structure surrounding the outdoor labyrinth… (Just had to [...]

PEZ! Who knew the infamous candy was first introduced in 1927 in Vienna, Austria as a breath mint for adults and the name was created from the first, middle and last letter in the German word for peppermint, PfeffErminZ! Fun to just stumble upon this place while looking for a rest stop on the road [...]

may day – a day of protests in nyc
A photographer’s dream being in the thick of today’s protests in Union Square. Here are some of my favorites!
my fantasy role

skaters in central park
Remember the skaters from last year? Well if not, or you’re just joining in, then check out my post from last year here. But let me tell ya, there are quite a few new faces this year. I think he’s new. I’m almost positive I didn’t see him last year. Surely I would’ve remembered him [...]
the long road ahead…
The Road goes ever on and on down from the door where it began. Now far ahead the Road has gone, and I must follow, if I can, pursuing it with eager feet, until it joins some larger way where many paths and errands meet. And whither then? I cannot say. J.R.R. Tolkien, author of [...]
