Recently I visited this incredible place on a perfect fall day. These photos are of a few (of many) bronze sculptures that reside there. It’s an experience in every season and a true gem in Michigan.












Living the Dream in Retirement
Recently I visited this incredible place on a perfect fall day. These photos are of a few (of many) bronze sculptures that reside there. It’s an experience in every season and a true gem in Michigan.












Some fun photos taken last weekend on a perfect, sunny autumn day at Frederik Meijer Gardens & Sculpture Park.






I love to wake up before sunrise on a cruise, especially when I’m able to capture photos like these as we approach New York City where this journey ends.



These photos were taken (with no filters) on September 18th from 8:34 – 9:28 p.m. as the moon rose over the ocean. It was magical to witness this from my balcony. Very zen.




Photos are from our excursion to Peggy’s Cove where the scenery was captivating as was this small yet charming fishing village. I love the last photo of this lone bagpiper who was playing during our visit there.






















Photos are from my recent cruise and include scenes from Newport, Boston and Bar Harbor.












These sunrise photos were taken between 6:15 a.m. and 6:58 a.m. from my balcony while sailing the east coast. It was spectacular and one of my favorite things to experience while cruising.






It’s impossible for me to pass by natural beauty and not photograph it and so it was while off-ship on my New England/Halifax cruise.
















Back from my latest cruise, this time New England (Newport, Boston, Bar Harbor) to Halifax. Sailing on the Enchanted Princess was special, it was the ship I took my first-ever cruise on earlier this year.








Stay tuned for more on this trip…..
This day fell midway through our cruise, sunny and still much warmer than we’d anticipated. As the Captain navigated the inside passage, we had the privilege of viewing the pure beauty of Glacier Bay. As we sailed, the ship made several very slow 360 degree turns so everyone had a chance to see the passage from all angles. While you can view from the open top deck, I found it too crowded. Instead I happily returned to my cabin to enjoy a few glasses of Prosecco on my balcony while taking it all in. It was a zen kind of day full of sunshine, blue sky, sparkling sea and glaciers. In a word, perfect!
