  • Venetian Gold

    Venetian Gold

    One of my favorite experiences in life is wandering the watery alleys of Venice early in the morning. It fascinates me to see a thriving city come to life without streets or asphalt. Instead of the delivery trucks that begin their circulation of New York or Chicago in the early morning hours, the produce and daily supplies arrive by boat in that magical city. This view seemed to capture that still but amazing sense for me, locking it into my memory.

  • Blue Prague

    Blue Prague

    The beauty of Prague is difficult to express, particularly on a spring evening when the colors of the sky and lights combine to paint the view. Prague Castle, which sits on the hill in the distance, is the largest ancient castle in the world. It's grandeur is matched only by the Charles Bridge spanning the Vltava River in the foreground. The bridge's construction began in 1357.

    Basin's Blossoms

    The blooming of the cherry blossoms in Washington, DC is one of the most amazing experiences. Although thousands flock from around the world to see the blossoms in their full glory, there are early morning hours when one can have them almost to themselves.

    Children play in a fountain in the main square in Sibiu, Romania high in the mountains of Transylvania. I loved the way the setting sun backlit them and the drops of water as they played.

  • The Shelbourne

    The Shelbourne

    This staircase rises above the lobby of the beautiful and classy Shelbourne Hotel in Dublin, Ireland. Founded in 1824, the hotel has seen its share of history, to include the drafting of the Irish Constitution. John Wayne and Maureen O'Hara frequented the hotel during the filming of The Quiet Man.

  • Marie Catherine

    Marie Catherine

    I stumbled upon this fishing boat, tied up along the west coast of Ireland, just as the sun was setting. It was obvious, based on the new rope used to tie her up, that someone still used this boat despite its condition. There was nothing else for miles in each direction, which made the site even more interesting to me.

    This beautiful horse was seeking shelter from the North Atlantic winds along the western coast of Ireland, near Clifden.

  • Naples Sunset

    Naples Sunset

    Sunset at the Old Pier at Naples, Florida draws a large crowd every night. On the day this photo was taken, the sky had been unremarkable, and I'd almost packed up to head home. Then, not long before sunset, a storm moved in from the north, creating this incredible sunset.

  • Lake Moraine

    Lake Moraine

    This view of Lake Moraine in Banff National Park in Canada is possibly the most beautiful view I've ever seen. The color of the water is almost unimaginable.

    This beautifully colorful field of rape plants against the rich blue sky was photographed along the road in Canada, just south of Calgary. The fields pop up every mile or so, mixed in the endless wheat fields, creating a collage of colors.

    En route to Glacier National Park in Montana, we noticed this beautiful horse drinking and bathing in some of the last standing water from the winter's thaw.

    Forever Connected

    A couple sits on the stoop in Sibiu, Romania. I loved the way the screens lit their faces, but also found it amusing they were both so enthralled with their tech while the world in the remote Transylvanian town went on without them.
