Tell Me A Story - Rome

 Rome...

Inside St Peter's Basilica

Putting the size of the church into perspective: The letters around the top (inside and out) are 5' high. 

Papal Gaurd 

Audience for Wednesday Mass with Pope Francis

Monument of Victor Emmanuel II with the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier 

Roman Forum

Inside the Colosseum 

On our way back through Austria & South East Germany

This trip reaffirmed my dislike for organized tour groups - no time to take or set up a decent shot and always being rushed. But none the less it was an honor being able to be in Pope Francis' audience even though I am not catholic.

Tell Me a Story: ICELAND

This month's trip was to Iceland via Berlin. I took so many pictures in Berlin it was hard to narrow them down, so I chose a few from Iceland.

Kenai Peninsula, Alaska

Kenai Peninsula Alaska

I can't believe August is almost over. It was a very busy month for me with a lot of air miles under my belt this month alone. Ended July in San Antonio then flew home to Alaska  for my daughters wedding. 

Spend my last weekend in Homer and took a boat tour to Seldovia. I can't believe I lived in Alaska 18 years and had only been to Homer one other time and never took the time to be a tourist while living there. 

Sorry for going over the photo limit.
