Probably my favorite picture of the photos I've taken. Shot in Venice, Italy just after sunset from a rocking vaperreto (water taxi). The photo just has so much color, and the light dances off the water! Ahh, Venice!

This is a thing I rarely get to see - a sunrise! In this photo, it is about 6 a.m. and I'm getting ready to take a hot air balloon trip over the tablelands of Australia.

After kissing the Blarney stone at Blarney Castle in Ireland, I snapped this shot from the top. It was so green and lush, and really said "Ireland" to me.

Notre Dame in Paris, France, has probably been photographed more than all the supermodels combined. I wanted to try something different. I noticed these roses growing in the courtyard, so decided to sit on the ground and take a picture of the cathedral through "rose colored glasses". As the French song goes, La vie en rose!

When sitting down to eat in Kinsale, Ireland, I noticed how beautiful the table was where we were sitting. How could I resist taking a picture ?

The Duomo in Florence, Italy, dominates the landscape. So how to take a unique picture of it? I decided to make it the background, rather than the main focus of the picture.

This picture was taken in Nice, France. The flower market had so many flowers in so many colors, but these roses were my favorite.

A beautiful butterfly, taken at the Aruba Butterfly Farm. I call him my UVA butterfly, since he's orange and blue!

Sunset in Aruba, with an obliging pelican who flew in at just the right time.

Dogwood blossoms - the official state flower of Virginia, where I live.
