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..."

November 11 is a day of great remembrance.  Not only is it the day to commemorate the Armistice or the end of WWI , in America we call it Veteran’s day,  in Germany for obvious reasons it is not celebrated in the same manner.  Here in Germany they celebrate the feast day of St. Martin...

A Poppy for Remembrance…

Thursday, November 12, 2009 at 5:32am Posted in Living in Europe, Military, Observations

Veteran’s Day, The Day of Remembrance…Armistice day. November 11 holds great importance for many and it never holds more importance than in a time of war in my opinion. Whatever your beliefs, what ever flag you fly, none can argue with the selfless sacrifices our men and women in uniform face each day. A thank...
