Prague cobblestones
The cobblestones of Prague are artwork unto themselves. Some, a standard design. High heels not recommended. Art is under foot. Needless to say, all these cobblestones require maintenance. Beautiful, creative, and the added bonus is the stoccato traffic music. Please like, comment, subscribe, and let me know what you enjoyed about Prague.

Prague. Walk along the Vltva River.
I love to wander. Whether in the woods of NH, USA, or the streets of Boston. One sees so much more ambling along. Walking down from the castle, (see blog post on Vysehrad castle), is a tricky descent. As an aging American, even hiking down from a mountain top requires focus. The long, steep trekContinue reading “Prague. Walk along the Vltva River.”

(1872) It is often hunters who are the most influential when it comes to the conservation of land and wildlife. Even inContinue reading “The magic that is YELLOWSTONE”
We’re not in Kansas anymore.
Nebraska, Corn, flat, Corn, feed lots, guess to use up all the Corn. We left the beauty, romance and history of Alcove Springs behind and headed down the highway, aiming to stop at Ft. Kearney. Pronounced Karney, all this time I had been pronouncing it incorrectly. They say pronouncing something wrong is not bad, asContinue reading “We’re not in Kansas anymore.”
day one a year later
A year ago, I had a job I loved. One never feels properly compensated, but I was fortunate to make more money than a lot of people. This would turn out to be my downfall.
