Touristy Things
Until quite recently, I hated tours. With a passion. How can that be, you ask? There is so much to learn, and the knowledge of the guides is right there at your disposal. Why not let them open up that world for you, show you what you didn't even know to explore? Oh, let meContinue reading "Touristy Things"

Blessings from Bast – Positano, Italy
Cat on a Positano Roof - photos provided by author She knows a good gig when she sees one -- this furry ball of gorgeous has actually shown up more than once in my reading of other people's blogs about journeys to Positano. An absolute camera-mugging, attention-crazed, ultra-self-confident specimen, milking her chance to steal theContinue reading "Blessings from Bast – Positano, Italy"
Seafaring
Watching the shoreline Grow smaller and smaller Then the bottom bumps Against a boulder Under the dark water Which you choose to ignore Or hate Or anticipate Or wish away with the wave of a hand And I wonder if it has torn a hole And I wonder if I am sinking Then the wayContinue reading "Seafaring"
Positano, Italy Photo Series #2

Rashomon Series: Positano, Italy
Back to my "something a little different", inspired by one of my favorite stories, Rashomon. (Does doing it twice officially make it a habit? Okay, okay, not quite there yet.) The idea is to occasionally solicit the thoughts and opinions of others who have tread the same path as me, but (inevitably) they bring aContinue reading "Rashomon Series: Positano, Italy"
Positano, Italy Photo Series #1
Variations on "ceilings" - photos provided by author My obsession with lines, light and shadow continued on my Women's Walkabout trip to Positano, Italy. In the early stages of my foray into hobbyist photography, I got the brilliant advice of finding your shot by merely looking up. This place did not disappoint. Shot on iPhoneContinue reading "Positano, Italy Photo Series #1"
My Favorite Mask-Takes
I've done a couple of safe-cations in our current pandemic climate, and hope to do a few more over the next year or so (yes, I'm prepared to safe-cation for as long as it takes). So inevitably, I am going to be out there, wearing my mask and encountering other people wearing their masks. AndContinue reading "My Favorite Mask-Takes"
New York, NY Photo Series #2
Cafe Duke - photo provided by author View from my tea at Cafe Duke, just down the street from my room at the Michelangelo. I ventured out for an early walk and breakfast to celebrate my first morning in New York. It wasn't my first time in the city, not by a longshot, but thisContinue reading "New York, NY Photo Series #2"
