Writing is much easier for me than photography, [Don't get me wrong; writing is hard work, but photography is even harder work!] and it is an understatement to say I am not a professional photographer.

With that said, I do love the art form. Since my husband and I travel extensively around the world, I have the opportunity to see many wonderful images each day, worth remembering and worth sharing…

So here is my humble daily offering. The latest photo is at the bottom, so you must scroll down…

In memory of “Oreo,” who said good-bye to us on April 11, 2013. He was 19 years old and had lived in four countries. He saw more of the world from the living room window of wherever he found himself each day than most of the world. He was my faithful companion who followed me constantly — even in the middle of the night. If I went to sleep in the recliner or downstairs to get cooler or more comfortable, he joined me just as soon as he realized I had moved. He waited outside the bathroom door patiently. He climbed on my lap as soon as I would sit down. He walked across my computer and pawed at my book if he needed attention. This loss will pass the the pain heal, but today, well, I’m just sad, so sad to be alone.
