In Memory of Yia Yia

Today is the one year memorial for my grandmother, may her memory be eternal. I pray that she is resting in peace, and enjoying her next life with my Papou. :) I will never look at spring flowers the same as I did in her yearly garden.

Delicate Arch....My Profile Pic

Delicate Arch in Arches National Park, Utah. July 2007. One of the most captivating moments in my US travels. It is massive and was an amazing sight to see! Can you find me standing next to the arch in this picture? I'm there!

Just Thinkin'....

Pondering life and everything in between... taken at Columbia Zoo - September 2009

Love Circle - Nashville, TN

This is an actual street :) At the top of its hill is where I captured the landscape shots of the city skyline. It's fitting for the week.

The city of Nashville

I tried to find a place to take a landscape shot of Nashville. I don't think this is quite "the" spot, but you get an idea of the city's size. The stadium in the foreground is where Vanderbilt plays; the campus sits to the right of it. Notice the "Bat Man" building in the skyline?

Union Station Hotel in Nashville, TN

I attended my first MPI Luncheon today, taking place at what I am now calling a hidden gem hotel in Downtown, Nashville: Union Station Hotel. It was beautiful inside! Wish I had a wider lense to capture the entire scene as seen by the eye.

What's up?

Squirrellin' around in Nashville's Centennial Park.

Red Roses....

A single red rose in the sunlight.

Valentine's Day!

Love is in the air... what better to capture the essence of Valentine's Day than with a red rose.

Stillness of Snow

In Madeira, I captured the stillness of nature under a foot of snow. The tree line in a distance covered with snow is so peaceful. One wouldn't know there was a hill full of cabin-fever elementary school kids racing down the hills in their sleds nearby.

Snowy Pine

Tired of the snow yet? At least continue to enjoy its beauty! Branch of a pine tree..you can see how "soft" the snow is sitting on its needles. :)

Frozen Fruit

It is absolutely beautiful out! A frozen fruit (Crab Apple?) tree captured in Sawyer Point Park in Cincinnati, OH.

A Snowy Drive

Today there is more snow on the ground and the roads are worse than I ever remember! This is a "secondary road" - Hanley in White Oak; yes, I'm driving. You can't see where the roads begin or end, but what a beautiful Winter Wonderland!

Cardinal in Falling Snow

The snow continues to fall...another cardinal braving the elements out in the cold.

"Wings of Flame" in the snowstorm

This bright red cardinal was perched was spotted in my parent's backyard. It was taken in the morning as the snow continued to fall; if you look close you may be able to see the streaks of snow falling. Very peaceful and beautiful!
