Come Wander Along with Me...

I wander...it is simply what I do.  Since I was a young girl, my parent's tried everything to keep me close to home, going to such  measures as to buy me goats.  Though I loved my goats, my heart still  wandered.  

Growing up in rural New Jersey, I was surrounded by dense woods and long stretches of farm land to fuel my imagination.   I felt at home in the arms of the forest and spent many days laying upon the fragrant mossy soil staring up through the filter of leaves... watching the light dance.  It is these experiences that I work to remember.

In adulthood, I discovered the joy of capturing those precious moments, through my camera's lens.  Though the many years in between my youth and the present, I have enjoyed many wonderful adventures and am currently wandering in another people's land.  For the past 10 years I have had the pleasure of living in Europe and learning to look at life in a very different way.   

Through my images and my wanderings, I hope you will enjoy seeing the world around you... in a new way.

So...I invite you to "Come Wander Along with Me..."

It’s Official…It’s Christmas Time Once Again

LadXmas09-2sigsm

So, today it is official. I can finally wish you all a very Merry Christmas or as they say in German…Fröhlich Weihnacten!!
Not only does the 1st Advent signify the beginning of the Christmas holiday season…it also welcomes once again our annual village Weihnachtsmarkt. This fairy tale village of tiny pine covered wooden booths wraps around our town fountain, the Marienbrunnen which is adorned by a huge wreath of light advent candles. The larges advent wreath in the German state of Baden Württemberg.
People of the village and visitors from near and far all gathered to ring in the holiday season. Sipping warm wine and enjoying a taste of many different types of local specialties.
I hope to bring you the warmly romantic feeling of Ladenburg’s medieval Christmas market.
HAPPY HOLIDAYS EVERYONE!!!!
