One Door Opens

You know the saying, "as one door shuts, another door opens?" When I was young I really didn't think that was true but as I've gathered more life experience I think it probably is. A closed door is full of endless possibilities. On our trip we saw so many beautiful doors and I thought I'd share this one with you. What do you think is on the other side?

Behind the Mask

We have been in Venice and seen the most amazing sights. One thing that truly sticks with you is all of the amazing masks in Venice. Some are colorful, some are stark white, some have feathers, or jewels or metal. Some of them are haunting as these are.

WIndow Boxes

Everywhere I've gone in Italy and Croatia they have the most beautiful window boxes. Rather than pick just one for you I have created several. Click on the photo to make it bigger if you want.

The Colosseum

The Colosseum in Rome. No further words are needed. It is awe inspiring.

Summer Flowers

The summer flowers have begin to bloom. One of my favorites parts of summer are the flowers that are planted on my block by an organic gardener. You can expect to see many more over the summer.

SUMMER!

Friday June 20th is officially the first day of summer. It took me a minute to figure it out - I always thought June 21st was the first day of summer. Turns out in a leap year it's a day early. I learn something every day.

Pink Lemonade

For some reason when I look at these flowers they make me think of a nice cool glass of pink lemonade. The perfect drink on a hot June day. This is Quince from my neighbor's yard. It is a stick most of the year, gorgeous for a short while and then just sort of a green bush. I'm glad I caught it in the gorgeous stage.
