The alpacas here are both fancy and friendly. You can see them roaming around with their scarves all by themselves. I had the chance to make a new friend before he or she was chased off by a car. I didn't

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

This is a continuation of my previous post from Capri to Anacapri. After making my way up the ~1000 Phoenician Steps I came across the cliffside paradise Villa San Michele. As I hadn't planned my exploration

I almost didn't make the trip to Capri. That would have been a HUGE mistake because this is one of the most picturesque places. It's also small enough to walk if you're so inclined. That's what I did.

Here is a painting/drawing I made a while back. I put painting/drawing because the lines between the definitions can get blurry. I would say this is a painting but others may call it a drawing. So, I put

You can find the entrance to purgatory in a cave a short distance from an urban street. As you enter, you will hear the souls calling out to you. This is normal and to be expected. Some visitors leave

Today I'm sharing some photos of the city of Naples, Italy. The first photo was taken in the historic center of the city at night. The historic center is characterized by it's narrow alleys and bustling

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
