The People of Peru were so cute and adorable! I loved the colorful clothing and most of them had smiles on their faces.
Lima, Peru – 2009

Industrious People of SE Asia
During my 18 day visit to SE Asia in 2009, I found the people there to be very industrious! When I took this photo in Hanoi, Vietnam, I didn’t know the bicycle driver was looking at me with a friendly smile. There was so much energy and movement…always something to look at!
Spirited People of Africa
There are many words one could use to describe people in Africa, but spirited seems fitting to me!
Every time I’m able to take a photo of someone who seems interesting to me…I feel like I’ve just been given a present. When I saw this man standing in Cape Town, South Africa, I just had to take his photo. Actually, he posed for me. I asked him to turn sidewise. It all happened in the space of less than 30 seconds. To be a travel photographer, I think it’s important to have an outgoing personality, so that you’re able to approach people easily.
Exotic People of Egypt
Another series in my People from around the world…Exotic People from Egypt! Why is that some men from Egypt have this mysterious and perhaps a bit of danger look in their eyes? I find it quite fascinating!
Hiking Petra
Hiking Petra is an electrifying experience! Although the landscape seems stark…it’s alive with energy! Over the course of two days, I was able to hike for miles through the ancient grounds, high into the rock formations. These horse and buggies are available for those that aren’t able or don’t want to walk.
Interesting and Sexy (some) People of Italy, Spain, France and Croatia
Continuing with my series on people around the world, I found the people of Italy, Spain, France, and Croatia to be very interesting and many of them…sexy!
For example, these Italian men in Venice…especially the one on the right…Mama Mia!
Amazing People in Portugal
Portugal is one of my favorite Countries in Europe! And the people of Portugal are simply beautiful!! I love people watching and of course…snapping photos of them! Here are a few from my three-week trip (that you can read about here) back in 2010…
I saw this couple near Sintra, Portugal. Aren’t they darling?
Hiking the Grand Canyon
Hiking to the bottom of the Grand Canyon is another “must do” if you love hiking like I do! My adventure was back in 2007 and although I hiked down solo…I met a couple of guys to chat with along … Continue reading
Hiking Zion and Bryce National Parks
Hiking in Zion and Bryce National Parks in Utah is a must-do for any nature enthusiast! In 2007 I flew out to Las Vegas, rented a car and was able to spend three nights in Zion, two nights in Bryce, … Continue reading
Hiking Yosemite National Park
Yosemite National Park is as grand as everyone says! I was fortunate to hike about 14 (long and rugged) miles of it one day back in 2006 while traveling solo for a week through California! That’s me…looking small beside the … Continue reading
Children of Africa
The children of Africa are so spirited and expressive! During my six weeks touring through six countries in Africa in May/June, I was fortunate to briefly interact with some of them. These little girls from Solitaire, Namibia have so much … Continue reading
Children of Egypt and Jordan
My 18 day journey through Egypt and Jordan back in February 2009 was the first time I was exposed to a culture, that at the time, seemed completely alien to my own. Although I had been to destinations such as Mexico, Costa Rica, Europe and much of the Caribbean, these two Countries seemed more brazen and wild! I took a photo of the “Siq” in Petra that is really magical. If you’d like to take a peek…look here!
I managed to go on three “big” trips during 2009. There were family crises happening that I had no control over…so I decided to enjoy myself! For some of my readers, you’ve seen a few of these photos from the past.
These little girls were just adorable!!
While hiking through Petra, Jordan, we encountered this beautiful little girl. I don’t remember if she was selling something or just begging, but I was entranced!
This little boy is the epitome of “boy”! Look at his little goat! It seemed odd to me to find these children up in the Mountains. I was worried they would fall and hurt themselves.
We slept on a Felucca sailboat on the Nile River one night and this young man was one of the crew.
These lovely children were in Amman, Jordan.
These little ones were from Egypt.
So much has happened since then, I feel like a different person now!

Children of Peru
I love to photograph children! They project so much wonder, delight and enthusiasm for life! During a three-week trip to Peru back in 2009, I was able to capture a few photographs. I love this little girl with her baby … Continue reading
Tarpon Springs, Florida
As I’m revamping my site…I came across this post I neglected to post while on my 6-week road trip adventure…so…a break in the regular telecasting…
Tarpon Springs is another quaint and historic town in Florida! Through the years I’ve visited most of the “fun in the sun” areas in Florida…Miami..Key West..Ft. Lauderdale..Orlando..St. Augustine..Ft. Myers..Coco Beach…Panhandle, so I was surprised to discover a few of the quaint towns in the Tampa Bay area. Staying with a local and receiving guidance from her made the difference! Thanks Zully!
Today, I ventured off on my own and explored the Tarpon Springs area. With a population of over 23,000, it has the highest percentage of Greek Americans of any city in the U.S. The main street (E. Tarpon Ave.) has some street art (which you know I love) and antique stores.
Browsing in the windows, one store caught my attention–Tarapani’s. It has been run by the same family for 101 years–I spoke with the son and Grandmother–who were the only people in the store. They had some very interesting items and paintings…
This beautiful park was located at the end of the main road…
If you turn right onto Alt. Rt. 19, it will bring you to Dodecanese Blvd.–turn left and you’ll find a street filled with Greek shops & restaurants and the Sponge Docks…
Lots of fishing boats were docked. Some with sponges…
This flower’s beauty stood out to me…
I walked to the end of the street where I found these fishermen. Notice the fish in mid-air. I asked permission to take a photo and they said sure and stood there. I said, “You can keep working” and the guy on the left said, “Oh, thanks!”.
Walking back to my car I took a final photo…
Driving through a residential area of Tarpon Springs, I spotted this lovely home…
I hope you enjoyed your tour of Tarpon Springs and will come back again soon!
