I don't have to look much farther than my own garden for displays of exhibitionism. This is the first year that I've added a bed of flowers. From Zinnias, to wildflowers, the peacocks of the plant kingdom

Italian ruins are always impressive but I wasn't expecting them to be empty. Exploring ruins when you're the only visitor truly immerses you in another world. These truly are remnants of another world,

I'm not sure what I can possibly say about the Colosseum that hasn't already been said. If you want to take a look inside, be prepared to wait on massive lines! I much prefer the view at night when it's

I took the train to Sorrento from Naples. At first I was unimpressed by the town. It was pretty small and didn't have an infinite amount of hidden gems littered throughout, as Naples did. It wasn't until

Impressive Mt. Vesuvius can be seen from all over the Bay of Naples but a trip to the bay area requires a trip to the summit. Since this volcano is watched so closely, it's very easy to reach. You can

Here is a sunset photo I took from my phone while flying west from New York. We had just flown through a storm and this is the view that was present afterwards. It was a nice reminder that our unpleasant

I had no idea what to expect from Pompeii when I decided to visit. I'm so glad that I decided to go because Pompeii exceeded all expectations that I might have had. It's much larger than I thought it would

We are three skulls offering good fortune to anyone we come across. If you see us on the street give us a pet and let our luck rub off on you.

Today I'm sharing some photos of just a few of the many churches in the city of Naples, Italy. Naples has a very interesting artistic style. The style has a darker feel overall but still very ornate. I

Today I'm sharing a few photos of a walk through the Smoky Mountains in Tennessee. I believe all of the photos were taken along the Chimney Tops trail. Feel free to leave a comment and let me know what

I have a hawk that likes to model for me. It shows up every so often to pose for the camera. At times it looks quite pensive, regal, or curious. Other times just hungry. But it never stays for dinner.

Below are some photos of Galleria Umberto I of Napoli (Naples), Italy. Galleria Umberto I is part of the listed World Heritage Site of Naples and was built between 1887 and 1891 during the reign of King
