Hey! I hope you missed my posts 
No excuses, just glad to be back.
I’ve finally finished going through the thousands of images I captured in the Mediterranean this past summer. I had to narrow it down for the web gallery so I picked a few (ok, I picked a lot) of my favorites to share with you. I hope you enjoy seeing the world through my eyes, er, my lens!

I’ve been working on my Mediterranean pictures this week…thousands to go through before I can pick out my favorites! However, my 4-year old nephew, Korbin, has declared that the ruins are his favorites. All of them… For now, you only get one
Once my favorites have been selected, I’ll update my website with a gallery. Hope I don’t leave you hanging for too long!
à bientôt! (See you soon!)

Did you miss me??? Over the past few weeks, I enjoyed the sites, sounds and cultures of Spain, Southern France, Italy, Greece and Turkey. Thousands of images were captured, millions of memories stored and many miles walked.
Each day was exhausting but I was energized by the breathtaking views, stunning art and architecture and incredible history.
In the next few weeks I’ll be combing through the thousands of pictures to find my absolute favorites and will create a new web gallery. In the meantime, here are a few of my cellphone faves as a little taste. Do you have a favorite?
à bientôt! (See you soon!)

The rain kept falling in Seattle this past week and nothing but blue skies with scattered clouds in Salt Lake today. The road between the two is long but the views en route can be spectacular!

I think I jinxed it! Spring stuck around for a few days and then the rain came back…and some more hail. Nothing like a little April shower in the Pacific Northwest
Even so, the flowers are blooming and the sun has chanced to come out a few times – making me all the more grateful for it!
à bientôt! (See you soon!)

Finally! Spring has decided to show us she’s here!! It has been beautiful here in the Pacific Northwest this past week :) The sun has been shining – mostly – and the flowers are blooming. The cherry blossoms have started popping up everywhere…of course the blooms are better in person but here is my pic of the week. I hope you are as enchanted as I am!
à bientôt! (See you soon!)

My niece and I took a drive into the North Cascades National Park this past weekend – it was breathtaking! The peaks, the trees, the waterfalls – so much to see I had Photographer-ADD. Though I’m sure this wasn’t the first time that’s happened ;-) I wanted to see everything, capture everything, and do it all while the sun was shining. It was a beautiful day – even though there was fresh snow on the mountain tops, it felt like it was finally spring!
The Cascades Highway curves along the river from the fields up into the mountains above the lakes. We stopped many times to check out the views. Diablo Lake was amazing with the snow capped peaks reflected in the water. I have hundreds of photographs to download and sift through now – I’m excited to relive the adventure :-) Here are a few captured with my phone…gives you a quick taste of the day and hopefully inspires you to go for a drive!
à bientôt! (See you soon!)

Hey! The Pacific Northwest lives up to the hype – a bit of rain or hail each day over the past week. But when the sun does come out, its all the more appreciated!
à bientôt! (See you soon!)

Hey all! I drove up to the Seattle area on Saturday – LONG day, LONG drive! But the sky was blue, the recent snowfall in the pass had been plowed from the road and I made it safely
Over the next few weeks, I’m looking forward to taking more pictures of this beautiful area! Maybe even venture across the border into Canada…So much to see, so little time!
If you were here, what would you NEED to see before you left? Even though I’ve been here many times before, I’m open to suggestions
à bientôt! (See you soon!)
