Have you traveled in search of holiday cheer? I have. I admit it. The chaos and frenzy known as holiday shopping just doesn't bring out my joyful side. Nor do endless texts back and forth with my sister about whether or not the appetizer I'm bringing for Christmas dinner goes with Aunt Kim's roasted red pepper spread. Spoiler alert. I might be a Grinch, but I don't … [Read more...]

How many USA National Parks have you been to? There are 59 and I feel like I’ve just scratched the surface!
I was lucky enough to get back to Shenandoah National Park in Virginia this spring and do some hiking in the Blue Ridge Mountains. 🌲

And, with Independence Day this week, there’s no better way (IMO) to get out to a National Park and explore these national treasures! 🎇🎆

Be silly. Be fun. Be different. Be crazy. Be you, because life is too short to be anything else. ❤️

Look how gorgeous this kudu is!? 😍
I watched this guy for a while. Well, he was more than happy to pose, as you can see! Actually, there were birds landing on him to eat the bugs off his coat, which I think he was thoroughly enjoying. Have I mentioned how amazing it is to see wildlife like this on its own turf!?

What’s been on your bucket list FOREVER?! A safari at Kruger National Park in South Africa was one of mine! Finally got here to the park and I was so overwhelmed! It’s amazing to see the wildlife in their own space doing what they do.
A special highlight for me were all the elephants! Hundreds of them in various herds just stole the show. ❤️❤️❤️🐘🐘🐘

Planning a trip to NYC this summer? You’ve got to see the new Hudson Yards! 😍

There’s still a lot of work going on in the area. But the Vessel is open for visitors who want to climb to the top. The surrounding buildings are up and open, too. (Love my wide-angle @sandmarc iPhone lens to capture it all!) When you’re done head inside, right behind the Vessel, for some authentic tapas and paella at Mercado Little Spain! ****************

Do you do any sightseeing where you live?

Living in NYC for so long, I sometimes go about what I have to do without noticing all the amazing sights around me.
Well, I was out walking in lower Manhattan and I came upon an intersection (Fulton and Nassau St.) with a fantastic view of One World Trade, aka the Freedom Tower!
Of course, I wasn’t walking around with my actual camera so I pulled out my iPhone to grab a shot. It got even better when I realized I had my @sandmarc iPhone telephoto lens. I clipped it on, gave it a touch of zoom and wow! 😍

What do you think of the with and without photos? ****************

How many photos do you take everyday with your iPhone?? 📱

I have to admit, after all the rainy weather in NYC I jumped at the chance to take photos around the city once the skies turned blue. And, I think I broke even my record for photos taken in a single day!! 😬 🤷🏻‍♀️ But Central Park looked so green and alive, I didn’t want to leave so I stayed to play with my new @sandmarc iPhone lenses. I’ve got their wide angle lens and their telephoto lens.
What do you think of these comparison shots? The first 4 I experimented with and without the wide angle lens and the last 2 I did the same but with the telephoto lens. Absolutely loved what these lenses added to my shots! ****************

Think white villages are only found on a Greek Island? ⠀
⠀
Spain’s Andalusia region is famous for them and as you drive the countryside, you can see the clusters of white homes and buildings along the hillsides and by the sea. (I definitely recommend a Spain road trip away from popular cities like Barcelona!)⠀
⠀
Tarifa isn’t on any list of must-see white villages in Spain but if you’re planning a visit to take the ferry to Tangier, it’s worth a birds-eye view over the old town. Climb the castle towers and look back away from the Atlantic. It’s white as far as the eyes can see and that much prettier on a blue sky day! ⠀

Are you a history nerd like me? ⠀
Southern Spain was an absolute gold mine! The region was conquered and reconquered over and again for so many centuries. In many cases, the victors would repurpose, build on top of, and add to existing structures. And, what’s left behind is a fascinating mix of architecture and culture. ⠀
⠀
In Tarifa, this strategic defense castle along the Straits of Gibraltar was under both Moorish and Christian control. Here and throughout the town the influences from both remain visible. Keyhole arches and signature white buildings of the Moors make up the old town. While at the center sits a church with an 18th century Baroque facade. ⠀
