Victory Lap
I grow weary. I’ve been scanning the shoreline since dawn, haggling over bottom-feeders, swept ashore by last night’s tide. There must be more, but where are they hiding? [She mused that perhaps she’d lost her mojo; that her age would inevitably push her into… Continue Reading “Victory Lap”

Photo Friday: Body of Water
The Mediterranean Sea glistened in the early morning sun, as our flight from Geneva tipped its wing low in preparation for our approach to Nice. Later, when this photograph was taken, we were perched on our terrace at the hilltop, Eze Village, viewing the… Continue Reading “Photo Friday: Body of Water”

It was the summer of 2012. A casual stroll through a quaint New England town had suddenly morphed into a glimpse of nearly forgotten youth. Expecting to find a cute cafe, but settling instead on a trendy pub, she was startled to find… Continue Reading “Memory Lane”

Initially, I was drawn to the ultra modern window wall, with striking geometric sweep and simpatico materials of construction, creating dramatic contrasting and coordinating shades and shadows. One could return to… Continue Reading “Weekly Photo Challenge: In The Background”
Photo Friday: Metropolis
This photo was taken from our balcony at the l’Hotel de la Paix one gray morning in Geneva, at the peak of rush hour. Not even the din rising from the city’s traffic-clogged arteries could diminish the impact of the Cathedral steeple in the… Continue Reading “Photo Friday: Metropolis”
