Visiting Oude Kerk in Amsterdam. And A Lesson Learned. Experientialism. First things first. What in the heck do I mean by experientialism? This is not a lesson on apologetics or whatever else may come to mind when hearing this word. Experience vs. Materialism. This is about experience vs. materialism. Experientialism is the term used [...]
Versailles. As promised, today I'm sharing some of the photos of the interior of the Palace of Versailles. If you missed my last post where I shared exterior photos and some helpful hints about touring it, you can check that out here. Photography takes an instant out of time, altering life by holding it [...]
Versailles. I still have a lot to share about the Amsterdam portion of our trip to Europe, but for today I'm jumping over to Paris. My daughter has been learning about World War I and was asked to bring in photos from her visit to Versailles, which means that I am editing those photos first. [...]
Reflecting on a door. I love old buildings. Some buildings, I'm sure, were admired from the moment they were built. Others, perhaps not until well after their builders and original occupants had long since moved on. And not every building is admired by every person. The same thing could be said about humans. He has [...]
Explore Park. Roanoke, Virginia. This past Sunday, my husband and I visited Explore Park, located just off the Blue Ridge Parkway at milepost 115. The day was gray and overcast, with rain coming in the afternoon. I didn't expect to get too many shots as the light was not in my favor. I opted not [...]
Doors of Hotel Roanoke. If you viewed yesterday's Wordless Wednesday, then you saw a sampling of some of the trees on display at the Hotel Roanoke. I titled my post, Festival of Trees, because that is what I call it. Its actual name is Fashions for Evergreens. Quite a "fashionable" name, don't you think? [...]
Bagpipes and Church Doors. A couple of Saturday's ago, Nov. 5th to be exact, I decided that I wanted to check out the "Virginia Room" of the main library. This is where they have a very large selection of reference material as compared to the branches. The main library in Roanoke is located downtown (it [...]
Blue Ridge Parkway. About a month ago, my husband and I thought we'd drive around Roanoke Mountain Loop Road off of the Blue Ridge Parkway. I brought along my camera hoping to catch some views of the Roanoke Valley. Unfortunately, the recent storms had dropped a tree across the road, closing its access. Niagara Dam. [...]
This week for Thursday Doors, I dug back through some old photos. I'm heading out for vacation tomorrow morning before the sun comes up. I'm supposed to be packing, but was looking in photo albums instead. I really wish I wasn't in the photo so there wasn't proof of how I dressed in the 90's. [...]
So it's already Thursday again! Time for another round of Thursday Doors hosted by Norm 2.0. If you follow me on Twitter or Instagram you may have already suspected where my door finds would come from. I have been on a hunt for a coffee table...for at least 3 years, so that tells you the [...]
