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.












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












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…..
Whatever we expected of the weather in Alaska was completely different than our experience. Having packed layers, waterproof jackets and footwear, gloves, hats…..you get it. That said, the week we spent there was sunny, warm and perfect for enjoying the beauty around us and the flowers were thriving.














If you’ve followed me on social media you know that I’m all about the food – in day to day life but even more so when traveling.




























I just returned from a one week cruise to Alaska on Discovery Princess. In Seattle, I met up with my cousin and her husband from Portland (Oregon) and my sister and brother-in-law from Vegas for pre-cruise dinner, drinks and a few toasts to the cruise ahead and fun times with family.
This trip exceeded our expectations and judging by the volume of photos I took there will several more blog posts coming soon.
We set sail on 8/3/24 and as we were pulling out of the Seattle Harbor the Captain announced that the Blue Angels were flying for an air show. It was a special treat and great beginning to our cruise. I captured some Blue Angel photos though you may have to squint to find them against the Seattle skyline.






My trip to Tennessee was an experience in Forest Bathing at my cabin, totally surrounded by the woods. The air smells fresh and clean, birds were singing from daybreak to sunset. In this setting I breathe differently, deeper. It’s a peaceful place to connect with nature.












As you can see from the following photos the Enchanted Princess does dinners that are delectable from starters and salads to entrees.
