Cambria, California is a small, lovely seaside town about 20 minutes north of Morro Bay. It makes a great stop if you are driving between LA and San Francisco, and is close to some cool sites in the central coast area like Hearst Castle, the elephant seals at San Simeon, and the Paso Robles winery…
Wanted to share some photos from this past weekend at the Middleton Good Neighbor Festival! I also made a time-lapse/video of the live painting I did on Sunday – you can check it out at the end of this post. I spent Saturday painting miniature watercolor flowers/cacti to hand out…. And on Sunday, I did…
The Island of Capri is a ferry ride away from the seaside town of Sorrento on the Southern side of Italy where we stayed. We headed to the island bright and early on Monday with the sun just starting to warm the waters… We took a boat tour around the island and into the Blue Grotto, or Grotta…
I like to make pictures with film. But… I always take a while getting the film developed. And when I do bring it in? It’s full of surprise, long-forgotten photos. So now it’s December, and I love the cold. But these fresh prints have me thinking about the warmth of the beach… …with water at…

In April, I got to spend my spring break – 11 days – in Italy. The trip was rich with history, culture, and especially food. : ) We spent most of our time in Rome, but made this day trip out to Cinque Terre for some beautiful hiking along the Italian coast. This hiking area…
Late afternoon and early evening are my favorite times of day to be around the Vltava River here in Prague. In good weather, people always come out for paddle-boat sightseeing…. And the light slanting in at this time of day is beautiful, giving all the riverside architecture a timeless look… …as well as adding extra…
I had a couple of days off work this week, and I spent the extra free time wandering the streets of Prague. I love taking in the city by exploring and meandering. : ) Today, I started my walk near the Vltava River…. The restaurants along this part of the riverside have a great view…
I was in Budapest early last week for business, but I also had some free time to explore the city. Budapest has a really great vibe – a laid back, happening place that’s a little reminiscent of Prague with its ornate, colorful architecture. First things first when I explore in Europe: gelato! One popular shop…
A few photos from this week…. Prague’s Charles Bridge is my new favorite place to be while watching the sun set – it falls behind the Prague Castle and the play of light is amazing…. Love walking along the Vltava River – the riverside architecture is all so unique. I take the tram to work…
