Nestled In

I went off into the woods to see if I could get a couple of shots of the water flowing down the stream. As I was fighting my…

Stay off the Bridge

I really like the look of this old bridge. It’s falling apart so we don’t walk on it. It’s located only about twenty feet from the back door….

When I first went out in the kayak I brought my little Powershot Canon camera with me. I took some shots of the cabin, lily pads, and then…

On our last full day in Sorrento we debated on whether to head back up the Amalfi coast and visit Ravello (just west of Amalfi) which we hadn’t…

Amalfi Apartments

Actually, I’m not sure if these are apartments. Could be a hotel or businesses. Whatever, it still amazes me how they literally build right into the cliffs. I’ve…

Hanging Around Amalfi

While we were in southern Italy it rained quite a bit. It rained the most on the day we visited the Amalfi coast. All throughout Italy we saw…
