This summer we are spending 5 weeks with my husband’s family in Brazil. Every time I come here, one of the first things I do is wander the yard at my sister-in-law’s house and check out the flowers and garden. Despite coming to a place that is so familiar to me, it gives me a feeling of [...]

A Travel Photo Treat: Prague
This painted walkway between buildings is near the steps to Prague Castle in one part of Prague’s historic center. I love Prague, not just because it’s SO beautiful, but also because I have wonderful memories of it. I had the opportunity to visit Prague more times than I can remember because I lived in the Czech Republic [...]
A Travel Photo Treat: Croatia
This is one of my favorite photos from my European travels; I have it framed and hanging in my house. The building is very old– you can see the outer layer is crumbling off! The balcony is so tiny that I’m not even sure anyone could fit there, but it’s also so ornate. Add the flowers spilling [...]
A Travel Photo Treat: Kiyomizu-dera
You know those times when you are traveling, and you come upon a place where you pick up “that feeling”? For me it’s often when I am in a place of incredible historical importance, and I feel like a tiny excerpt from the volumes of humanity. I imagine the people who have walked there before me and all the [...]
A Travel Photo Treat: Assisi, Italy
I spent the day in Assisi as part of the study abroad course I did in Italy in 1995. Fifteen years later, I still remember it clearly and can feel the happiness I experienced that day. We took a bus through the hills of Tuscany and Umbria, and as we approached, the view of the town, covered in [...]
Pin ItA Travel Photo Treat: Moravia
I took this picture about a week after I arrived in Moravia (the eastern half of the Czech Republic) to begin my time living abroad. This view is typical of rural Moravia in spring– yellow-blooming mustard plants that cover the rolling hills. Isn’t it beautiful? While I have seen this view numerous times through the windows [...]
A Travel Photo Treat: Point Reyes, CA
Not all travel has to be to places far away! Last spring we drove 2 hours west of Sacramento to the coast and spent a wonderful weekend in Point Reyes National Seashore in Northern California (just north of San Francisco). The peninsula juts out into the ocean, so you get vistas like these of wild, [...]
A Travel Photo Treat: Bali
My last morning on the magical island of Bali… Eating breakfast on the beach and feeling disappointed because after just a few wonderful days on Bali, I wasn’t at all ready to leave. Watching this woman walking slowly along the water in the early morning, balancing stuff on her head as many locals there do, [...]
