Sharing experiences
What a way to go.
Plant creative seeds today to harvest later.

Oh my goodness, its while since I was able to devote time to the blog. Indeed, I did have a few problems with the internet. In Italy, I paid to have a superior room with good internet in my room. I nearly choked when they opened the door, It was very late, dark and I…
Capturing color.
I began my day with great enthusiasm and walked about a mile from my hotel to Piazza Venizia. The plan was to look at the small hidden gems that are not on the normal tourist lists. The church of San Marcello al Corso, I actually passed it first without realizing the magnificence behind its doors….
