Still in the spirit of Egypt after my post on Luxor, here is some rare, lush foliage along the Nile River.

Finding Meaning in Luxor
The sun beat down as temperatures reached the upper 90’s. Sweat dripped off us as we hurried from shady spot to shady spot long the nearly empty streets. The heat even sapped the energy from the few, endlessly persistent touts who still roamed around looking for tourist dollars.

Oh, the joy of a sunset. A sundowner is one of the favorite part of any day of ours, and we have experienced thousands of spectacular ones throughout the world. The end of one day, transforming into the night before the cycle begins again is consistently magical. This one, from the scenic coast of Oregon.

For this frigid day in Oregon, I fondly think back on this serene summer scene from the San Juan Islands.

Foto Friday from intriguing Angkor Wat. A favorite part of exploring this immense collection of temples was finding all of the secret little pathways leading to gorgeously carved discoveries.

We have a fairly substantial shell collection from our travels around the world, but this partially damaged sand dollar was particularly appealing to me.

At the Tombs of the Emperors temple complex, just south of Hue on the Perfume River, has some fantastic temples offering exquisite detail. If you find yourself in Hue, taking the very interesting, albeit touristy, cruise down the Perfume River is a must.

Lately I’ve been spending a great deal of time daydreaming about Africa. While I love many places I’ve traveled to, Africa holds a very special place in my heart, and I miss it deeply. Here, the view from the top of the sand dunes of Namibia at sunrise…. pure magic.
A Place of Dry Water
Africa, a continent of magic. Often referred to as the “Birthplace of Humanity”, it is a land that has drawn me back again and again. Of the many fascinating regions of this vast continent, one of the most compelling is Etosha National Park, set in North-central Namibia. Etosha means “place of dry water”, an excellent description. The semi-arid savannah, full of thorn scrub, is very flat and very dry. All of which equals extraordinary wildlife viewing. The park covers over 22750 KM, and is home to hundreds of species of animals.
