La Spezia and Cinque Terre Italy

With an announcement of travel plans to Italy, the questions are Rome? Venice? Tuscany? As a novice international traveler, those were similar questions asked in the past. Answering with La Spezia and Cinque Terre brought puzzled looks as if Italian were being spoken! (Which I guess it was!) These small towns nestled in the Italian Alps along the Mediterranean Sea, quickly found themselves in the favorites file!

Things I Didn’t Know About Pizza!

One of my favorite foods hands down is pizza so I thought I would do a little research about its origin. 997 AD is when the word pizza was first documented in Gaeta, Italy which is south of Rome on the coast. This “pizza” was basically a focaccia that had vegetables and other toppings. It wasn’t until the late 1800’s that tomato was added that is more like our pizza today.

About Me

love coffee

As we go through everyday life, I have found that there are moments that pull my attention to them if I am willing to let them. To stop and observe that special something that I want to share with someone else.

Photographs have given me that opportunity. To capture that moment...with the ones we care about, God's amazing creation, and man's creativity. I decided it was time to share these moments with you dear friend!
