We went to Charleston, South Carolina last weekend to meet some friends. It has been many years since I have been there and I forgot how completely beautiful and charming this southern-belle city is. You’ve got history, palm trees, two universities (Citadel and College of Charleston), gorgeous architecture, warmer weather, the coast and harbor, cobblestone …
Last weekend, we went to the Peaks of Otter right at peak season for the leaves changing colors. Southwest Virginia is so beautiful and never more so, in my opinion, than the fall. We actually took the bus up the mountain, which takes you close to the peak of Sharp Top and then you hike …
I have so many gorgeous pictures from the Alhambra that it is deserving of its own post. The Alhambra is beautiful. We had already been to the Alcazar Real in Sevilla, so I was expecting something similar. I guess in some ways it was, but it was much more beautiful in my opinion. Also, the …
Congratulations to our dear friends Roberto and Anna that recently got married. He’s from Mexico and she’s from Russia. We joke that when we’re all together, we represent four countries! A couple of months ago, they asked me to be the wedding photographer. Wanting to do anything I could to help them, I quickly agreed. …
On our second day in Morocco, I woke up early and eager to get out and explore some more before we had to leave. But, first we had an amazing breakfast at our hotel. They served Moroccan pancakes, which were so good and kind of like a thick crepe. They were served with goat cheese, …

Chefchaouen is about two hours from the coastal town of Ceuta along the straight of Gibraltar and it is on the outskirts of the Rif Mountains. Interesting facts: The town was …
Ah, Sevilla. Sevilla is such a romantic and beautiful city. I’m not sure what I imagined before going, but it exceeded my expectations. Just the right combination of history, beauty, culture and things to do. When I think of Sevilla, it’s the sounds that come to mind — the church bells ringing, the sound of …
While we were in Vegas last month, we took a day trip to Arizona to see the Grand Canyon. I looked into a bunch of tours and ultimately decided to do it on our own because that way we can do what we want when we want, we don’t have to be part of a …
Here in southwest Virginia, it’s spring one day and winter the next. So, I took advantage of the nice weather today and broke out lenses that have been hiding away all winter to take some pictures of the dogs . This one looks like she’s giving me the stink eye.
