This week’s #FriFotos theme is “Circles” …..I thought round and round…..then my mind wandered to the Dead or Alive song “You Spin Me Round (like a Record)” before landing on the Ferris Wheel (don’t ask how my mind associates things). Many cities have added Ferris Wheels to attract tourists and […]
We all want the best and when it comes to travel there are so many confusing “best of” options. This week’s #FriFotos theme is “Best” and I keep thinking how many times I went in search of the best and found something better. Yesterday’s post, I went in search of […]
There’s something about a water fountain that just fascinates me, from the first time I saw the Swann Fountain in Philadelphia to the jumping water fountain at Epcot as a child, I love them all. How they do what they do is pure science, what we see is pure magic, […]

This week’s FriFotos theme is “Hills”. Of course, the first thing that came to mind was the song “The hills are alive with the Sound of Music…” (yes, showing my age). While I’ve done the Sound of Music tour when I visited Salzburg, it was before the digital camera (again […]
I always knew my new camera was smarter than me, today at the National Geographic (NatGeo) Traveler Photography Seminar on Light and Color, I learned why. Today’s session was held in Philadelphia and was complimentary as the previous seminar I attended on The Art of Nature was mired with technical […]
