An astonishing thing happened in the past couple months. Two different people expressed their appreciation for this little blog that could, and said they enjoyed checking it out. *Tear* It made me want to hop on here and create some new content. And the timing is perfect because I just got some film photos back … More Places on Film
While Doug and I were enjoying time with family in Loughgall, we also had a chance to take a trip to Belfast, where we hiked in Cave Hill Country Park. We chose to do the 4.5 mile loop that starts at Belfast castle and takes you high up into the hills towering over the city … More Cave Hill Country Park, Belfast, Northern Ireland
Happy St. Paddy’s day to everybody! Couldn’t do this post last night because we were cooking up corned beef, cabbage, and boiled potatoes, and then dealing with the after effects of eating corned beef, cabbage, and boiled potatoes. This holiday is particularly special to us because of our close ties to Doug’s Northern Irish family. … More Carlingford and the Cooley Peninsula, Ireland
Hi everyone. Well, the world looks very different than it did the last time I blogged, which was October. We were all pumped for a new decade; now a few months in and a lot of us are probably wondering when it’s going to end… I hope you are all safe, and even better, I … More The Dolomites, Part II
Even though it’s October and we actually just returned from a trip to Ireland/Northern Ireland, I find myself thinking a lot about our vacation to Italy back in May. At home the temperatures and humidity levels were rising as summer drew nearer, but in the Dolomites the weather was cool and crisp and we were … More The Dolomites, Part I
In May we took a wonderful trip to Europe, and it was a vacation of firsts for me — first time in Italy, and first time in the Alps! It was strange to tell people we were going to Italy but wouldn’t be in Rome, probably wouldn’t be eating much pasta, and probably wouldn’t be … More 48 hours in Liechtenstein
Oh hi Spring-in-theory! It is still like 40 out and windy and I have to wear my woolly gloves to drive to work, but the garlic is sprouting in the back yard and the trees are starting to bud and the sun is staying up long past its bedtime. We’ll take it. We are really … More New Mexico Hiking – Kasha-Katuwe National Monument and Ghost Ranch
Happy New Year’s Eve everyone! This is a really nicely contrived time to reflect on the past 365 days and consider all that may be in store for the next year. I thought about doing a “best of” picture post, as that seems to be all the rage with the bloggers, but there are so … More England: South Downs National Park
This September Doug and I celebrated seven years of marriage! As the much-beloved tradition continues, we planned a vacation in matrimony’s honor, and this time around we headed somewhere completely new for us, the southwest! We flew out to New Mexico for a long weekend in Santa Fe and the surrounds. Doug has driven through … More Santa Fe, New Mexico
Well, what can I say about Lisboa? We were just absolutely charmed by this city. It’s colorful and crumbling. Sexy and smouldering. It’s mysterious but it hides nothing. And the food. Oh, the food. I’m not going to waste much time on words here. After the photo essay we will leave a short list of … More Lisbon, Portugal
