Weekly Photo Challenge: Frames of the World

I love this week’s photo challenge: Frame. I’m sharing three of my favorite travel photos. Oman We woke up early after a splendidly silent night in Wahiba Sands. The sun wasn’t quite above the horizon. I opened the door within a door at the entrance to our desert camp and found two amazing views in the frame — a woodcarving

Weekly Photo Challenge: Morning in Cuba

The patchwork masonry catches my eye. I walk closer and see her looking out from her window onto the street below. I hold up my camera to ask, by gesturing, if I can take her photo. She smiles, laughs and points to the wrap on her head, as if to say “Really? Me? But what about my hair?” I smile

I was bumping along in a safari vehicle at Yala National Park when we came upon a young male elephant in the middle of the road. We stopped. He was a little

Weekly Photo Challenge: Eye Spy

When I read the brief for this week’s photo challenge (Eye Spy), nothing immediately came to mind. But while editing photos on this cold rainy night, I came across a moment I captured in Sri Lanka. Every time I look at this photo I can’t help but smile. I’ve never been so enamored with a group of little boys. They
