    Mosaic Beauties

    Wherever we travel, I’m always interested in seeing as much as possible of the local handmade goods. This, along with dining on local foods, gives me a sense of connection with the culture of the place we’re visiting.

    These mosaic pieces at a market in Curaçao caught my eye, and the eye of my camera. I didn’t purchase any of these, as my souvenirs are usually my photos some of which I frame.

    Do you scout out local arts and crafts in your travels?

  • Red Rocks and Film Festivals

    Red Rocks and Film Festivals

    Although there are many beautiful places in Arizona, the red rock formations and the culture, put Sedona among my favourite spots.

    On our only visit there, several years ago, the Sedona International Film Festival was taking place.

    As we roamed the streets, taking in the culture and surrounding scenery, I watched in hope and earnest, to spot someone famous. Sadly, it wasn’t meant to be.
