Beach Time

I love the beach and I'm so glad that the weather is finally getting warm enough to enjoy it.  It just refreshes my soul to hear the waves and smell the salt air.

For Gail :)

A few days ago a new friend said to me that they had found my blog, but fussed that I had not updated it in FOREVER.  I agreed and explained that it was something I started when we first moved to Portugal and I just lost touch with it over time at it had felt a bit over whelming at times to keep on top of it.

My friend is a photographer and challenged me to a 52 week photo challenge.  We meet weekly for coffee so she said she would make sure I took one picture a week.  That seemed like a doable quest, so here we go.

Week 1 - For all my friends in the snow back in the US, this is my weather this week :)

Revival

I know it has been over 5 months since I've posted anything, but I have been challenged to REVIVE THE BLOG.

Photography has become on of my favorite hobbies since we moved to Europe, but I don't take the opportunity to share what I see through the lens.  Recently a friend challenged me to share my pictures in order to hold myself accountable to learning more about the craft of photography.  My goal is to post pictures at least once a week, so hear it goes.....

Looking through the lens....  Here are some pictures I took while we were in Prague recently. (click on the picture to see a larger view)

Day 6 - Books
Anyone who know me, knows I love to read, however books in English are hard to come by in Portugal.  Andy got a Kindle for Christmas last year and I have taken it over.  It is not the same as flipping pages through a real book, but I have really enjoyed it :)
