This week’s #FriFoto topic is “Special Moments.” It seemed a little too Hallmark to put up a shot of Don and I on vacation, so I chose this candid photo I took in Paris in 2010. It was an unusually warm March day, and people apparently felt no shame taking it to the streets. City of...

This week’s Photo Friday (#FriFotos) theme is SAND.  In 2006, I embarked on a road trip from Philadelphia to Phoenix driving my Jeep Wrangler only on small, quiet highways, with the intent of stopping at the National Parks that were along  my path.  On my way back to Philly, I had hoped to get...

This week’s Photo Friday (#FriFotos) theme is VILLAGES.  Pictured is a small (and very wet) village near Tonle Sap Lake, not far from Siem Reap Cambodia.

This week’s Photo Friday (#FriFotos) theme is HAPPY PLACES.   In late 2009, Chris and I traveled to St. Vincent and the Grenadines, my favorite Caribbean destination so far.  During our trip, we boarded the Friendship Rose, a 101-ft dual mast schooner for a day of sailing to the Tobago Cays, with...

This week’s Photo Friday (#FriFotos) theme is DOGS.  Pictured are two beach dogs and their walkers on an early morning stroll on Sanibel Island, FL. Caption: “Forgot that little dog!  We came here to walk, remember?”

  The theme for this week’s Photo Friday (#FriFotos on Twitter) is YELLOW.  Yellow garlands of marigolds are  among the offerings left at the Erawan Shrine in downtown Bangkok. Although 95 percent of the Thai population are Buddhist, the Erawan Shrine is Hindi and the main statue at the shrine...

Today’s Photo Friday (#FriFotos on the Twitter) theme is all about giving thanks – and I feel especially thankful for all the sights and experiences I’ve had this year. While I had many beautiful shots to choose from, I felt that this more prosaic picture from the recent campervan...

This week’s #FriFotos theme is Trick or Treat – so we thought we’d go the sweet route and post a photo of a mouth-watering dessert from Cal Pep, which serves some of the best tapas in Barcelona (I mentioned them before in my post on where to eat in Barcelona). Cal Pep looks somewhat...

This week’s #FriFotos theme is doors, so we naturally went straight to our cache of Philadelphia pictures. As befits such a historic city, many of the doors in Philadelphia have an old-fashioned feel that’s accented with gorgeous flowers in the spring and summer.
