Sweet summer shots. I am nostalgic for those hot sunny days. But I, too, am still wearing my flipflops. As long as possible.

December reflections 2018: day twelve. Best meal of 2018. It won’t win any culinary awards but the best meals I’ve had this year have been those without grains, pasteurised cow dairy, and nightshades (tomatoes, potatoes, peppers, and eggplant). It’s taken years to figure out exactly what was causing my health issues but removing those foods has made a big difference and I’m grateful. #decemberreflections2018

December reflections 2018: day eleven. Blue. In February I visited the 9|11 memorial for the first time. It took me a long time to feel ready, but I’m grateful I went. I was most struck by the installation of different shades of blue made from people’s memories of the sky color that day since that’s one of the things I remember most about that day as well. “No day shall erase you from the memory of time.” - Virgil #decemberreflections2018

December reflections: day nine. Biggest challenge of 2018... has been staying focused on my research into the lives and homes of four generations of my 16th century English ancestors: Mary Boleyn Carey, Catherine Carey Knollys, Lettice Knollys Devereux, and Penelope Devereux Rich. #decemberreflections2018

I'm a travel-passionate landscape historian, photographer and artist who travels near (my home base in the Pacific Northwest) and far dishing out experiences that I find inspiring about place, spirit, history, fears, and dreams. I'm currently researching landscapes associated with four women ancestors who lived in England in the 16th century.
