Venice art gallery, stunning! #venice #photography #travel

Venice Traghetto stop with no one around, strange to see in Venice! #venice #photography #travel

Sea Cloud II leaving Zadar, Croatia. Built in 2001, did you know it's a small cruise ship with sails, well an elegant square-sailing boat is the correct term. 94 passengers in 47 cabins.

This is what I fell like today! Wild bear seen in Sedona AZ. #sedona #travel

Did you know you can snorkel with the turtles at Grand Cayman Turtle Center? Caught this guy on his way up. #cayman #photography #travel

Royal Theatre "Zetski dom" is the oldest theatre organization in Montenegro. Located in the old capital of Cetinje, a village up the mountain from Kotor. A drive with 25 switch backs! #cetinje #photography #travel

Old Town Kotor, a great city with a lot of traffic in/out, but the walled city is akin to time travel back in time. Love this city! #photography #kotor #travel

Kotor and the Bay of Kotor, a new hot spot under development! The Bay is features a mix of medieval towns and new developments, complete with a super-yacht marina. This was taken from the winding road above the city of Kotor. #kotor #montenegro #photography #travel

Dachau, a place that every human being in the world should visit once in their life. I was there in the 70's and have never forgotten. #dachau #photography #travel

Nagasaki Peace Park and the Atomic Bomb Museum long ago in my younger years, it is important to keep the lessons learned from that time now more than ever. #nagasaki #photography #travel

Fort Minceta with Dubrovnik in the background. Completed in 1464, the highest point of old town. Spectacular views! #dubrovnik #photography #travel

Happy Valentines Day to my hubby, a yummy end to the day.

Street number in Positano Italy. Classy. Love traveling and seeing the beauty in the world.

Limoncello in Ravello Italy. Beautiful city, can’t wait to go back. #Ravello #photography

Oh no! Our great winter this year with 40's and 50's a few weeks ago just took a nasty turn.

Castle Sant Angelo in Roma. The interior spaces are more beautiful than the exterior. #rome #photography

An excelled history lesson in how America got to where we are right now. RIP hartmannreport.com/p/the-gops-6...

Odyssey of the Seas in Ft Lauderdale early in the morning at Port Everglades.

My travels, air black lines and cruises in purple/blue. You learn so much from traveling, I don't want to ever stop looking forward to my next adventure.

Air Dolomites biz class VCE to MUC. Good thing I love shrimp.

Game of Thrones in a Dubrovnik tourist shop, and we had to take a selfie! No self control.

Dubrovnik in the morning is a place of beauty and lots of history. #dubrovnik #photography

In Iowa Legislature, HSB63-cannot include any curriculum that teaches identity politics or is based on theories that systemic racism, sexism, oppression, or privilege are inherent in the institutions of the United States of America or the state of Iowa. So we are going to teach our kids more lies?

So who will have the balls to stand up to this man and the GOP that support this? Without any doubt Donald Trump is the most lawless and scofflaw president we have ever seen in the history of the United States." Do his supporters even care? Nope. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Positano pussy cats, cute but not very talkative. #positano #photography

Remembering fall in Iowa. How many more weeks of winter do we have to endure until everything turns green again?

Hiding from the rain at Venice Jewish Ghetto. #venice #photography

Iowa legislature is at it again: HSB 84...prohibiting school districts/charters from anything relating to gender identity or sexual orientation to students in grades seven through twelve. Don't say gay in an Iowa School. @oneiowan.bsky.social does it have a chance of passing? They want to erase us!

Venice Aperol with a few tasty snacks. Best Aperol is with Limoncello, yum. #venice

Another death blow to DEI. RIP. Now the courts will have to judge. apnews.com/article/dei-... Trump administration directs all federal diversity, equity and inclusion staff be put on leave

And so it begins. Poof they expect us to be invisible again. No we will not go quietly, actually we will stay and fight this demon in the White House. #lgbtq #trumpSucks

From the White House website...under Trump..."BRING BACK AMERICAN VALUES. The President will establish male and female as biological reality and protect women from radical gender ideology." I thought male and female were already established reality? Could he be talking about the "T" in LGBTQ?

From St Marks Campanile, Top of St Marks, the Doge's Palace, and looking towards the Arsenale di Venezia. #venice #photography
