Summer Days in England

An array of shots, glimpses of moments, a collection of impressions, stopping time for a pause...drinking in the summer. July with the family... cruising the streets of London, Oxford and several points in between. Via rental car, foot, Underground and bus...

Zumi on the Coast at Sunset

Theo restored a vintage radio controlled glider and took her out for a maiden voyage...mom had Zumi in hand capturing the dreamy glow of the flight in the Marin headlands - dad inspired by the footage pulled together this awesome movie... great collaboration !

my brown eyes gaze

bee balm, busy bees, berries, Blue...busting out the hibiscus, beautiful phlox...if only I could remember the name of the brilliant trees that are bringing on the most magnificent bouquet of colors...but the hollyhocks have been the stars this year — reaching for the crisp blue skies which have brought the summer breeze without fail all summer long promptly at two!

oh and the refreshing beverages served in Baccarat!!!

S Africa, Botswana, Zimbabwe

History overwhelms you here...
breathtaking day on the mountain , just a hint of fog, gentle breeze, crystal clear views - apparently quite rare- I find a spot to sit quite and reflect with the Cape of Good Hope looming in the distance ... This is an amazing country . I have fallen in love. I can see and feel why people are so passionate here. I can not even begin to understand the complexities. (via iPhone from Table Mt., Cape Town )

Safari was beyond words and I think may take many months to unfold before I can begin to describe the experience. Botswana is "blossoming" as a country aspiring to all that Africa can become given a task, a dream to realize and people who believe in the possibilities. Zimbabwe still suffers from a corrupt dictator who believes in controlling everything and leaving nothing for the people except bitterness and want for shelter and food...sad how contrasting neighbors can be...

"daybreak" Botswana
