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..."

Independence Day…from Oil that is…Self Service Sunday

Sunday, July 4, 2010 at 10:58pm Posted in Around my Village, Festivals, Germany, Living in Europe, Local Color, The Holidays

So yesterday I had a thought, how about we not only celebrate the amazing country we fortunate to call home, but in the light of the catastrophe in the Gulf….why not make it an Independence from Oil day.

We decided we needed a few things to round out our festive 4th of July meal and so we pulled out our bikes and peddled our way to our local farms.  Most of the year the farms are closed on Sunday but demand is high in the Summer months so they do things “Self Service.”  Even Farmers need to rest on the 7th day.

Selbstbedienung is one of my favorite German words…it simply means, Self Service.  Back home in the US we call it the honor system.

We here at BTI hope you enjoyed an amazing Independence Day, full of friends, family, fireworks and FREEDOM!
