7-Day Nature Photo Challenge ~ Day 3
Today’s photo is the garden of the Laura plantation in New Orleans, in the U.S. These oak trees were so beautiful and magnificent. That morning, the only noise I heard there was the birds chirping, it was so serene and quiet. After taking a moment to digest what I had seen at the plantation, I sat in stillness, listened to silence and enjoyed the grandeur … Continue reading 7-Day Nature Photo Challenge ~ Day 3

Another kind of “Atom”
Last week, I went to a dinner party where everyone brought something they made at home. Had soo much fun, ate too much food and was a fantastic night! I made a meze called “atom”, which is a dish made with strained yogurt (in North America we call it “greek yogurt”), garlic and a whole lot of fried hot peppers. Meze, common throughout the Mediterranean … Continue reading Another kind of “Atom”

Santorini, Greece
Santorini is the least likely place I would imagine I’d fall in love. I am neither a beach person nor an island hopper. Give me lush greens, mountains, forests and I will be a happy camper (pun intended). That said, this summer, in the name of spending time with my family, I spent four months in a beach town in Turkey. So much for being a … Continue reading Santorini, Greece
