When I think about the Lowcountry and its classic southern charm, my mind is immediately brought to Charleston, South Carolina. There is nothing more romantic than stately old Oaks dripping in Spanish moss and Crepe Myrtles sprouting with pink and fuschia blooms. I also love the smell and the beauty of a salt marsh. That's [...]
London. I know. I know. It's been a while since I've been back to share some scenery from my time in London. If you're a regular to my blog, then you know that shortly after I returned from the United Kingdom, my oldest teen graduated from high school. Then the youngest and I traveled to [...]
London. On my most recent travels to the UK, I visited London for the first time. We only had two days in London, but they were two full days....and, boy did we fill them!! Doors. I knew that I would find a plethora of beautiful architecture in London, which would also include some amazing doors. [...]
Glasgow. During my most recent trip to the U.K., my mother and I made a day trip over to Glasgow, Scotland. There are trains from Edinburgh to Glasgow that take just around an hour and run regularly. If you are traveling during off-peak hours (which we did) the tickets price is nominal (We paid £13 [...]
Edinburgh. Edinburgh is a city filled with many treasures. Some treasures that I stumbled upon, I didn't even discover what they were until I returned home and searched for them. Mercat Cross.

Paris. Paris is a city of beauty and wonder. As I strolled about the city, I constantly found new things which caught my gaze because of their splendor. Hôtel de Ville. I love the architecture found in Paris and the Hôtel de Ville was quite spectacular. It is located in the 4th arrondissement on place [...]
Amsterdam. Although my time spent in Amsterdam was very brief, I loved every minute of it. We filled our days with many adventures. One of those adventures was a boat tour through the canals of Amsterdam. Houseboats. Amsterdam's canals are filled with houseboats. In fact, there are around 2,500 legally moored houseboats in the more [...]
Tour Guide. I have often highlighted the city in which I currently live. For those of you who may be unfamiliar, I live in Roanoke, Virginia. After living for the first 30 years of my life in Naples, Florida, and another 5-ish across the state of Florida, I moved to Roanoke in July of 2013. [...]
Photography Series. I've been enjoying creating these photography series. They seem the best way to showcase the photos that I'd like to share with all of you. I have shared many doors since discovering Norm's (host of Thursday Doors) blog. I shared in last week's Friday Faves that my mother and I would be traveling [...]
