Fall arrangement, Merci, Paris. The traveler pulling her suitcase seems strangely familiar.
Back home after nearly two weeks away. Check back later for photos and stories from my travels: from city centers to an historic castle (and a film set); from ancient Roman mosaics to a rocky seashore; to a sloped-roof country cottage with a flock of sheep in a pasture just ten feet away. Such a lovely break!
Hope you're all enjoying this fine weekend, where in Europe, we've turned our clocks back an hour. I've made some changes to the blog's sidebar. Beginning today, see "Read the news" category for news of note, updated daily. Now I must unpack, then sort through the email, photos and your blogs, of course!
Glad that you are back!!Welcome back!Love your wonderful blogs!looking forward for the same!

Miss Tara, beautiful friend, heloooo ;)
I love that image. Isn't it funny how the apples and the branches and the colors evoke such mystery and yet a feeling of such familiarity? Brilliant and beautiful!
Can't wait to hear your tales!!

That photo could be in a TOAST catalog! It is poetically brilliant.
I'm sifting and sorting through things too. If you get a chance to call or email me, I'll update you on things!
Glad you are back safe and sound...it is weird to not read here everyday.
