  • Finding More Hidden Corners

    In just a few days, I’ll be back in Palermo, where this photo of me was taken. I can’t wait! I look forward to sharing my spring-in-Sicily adventures with you (After a long, arduous winter!).

    In this case, I wish photos had sound. Then, you’d be able to hear the bells of the sheep as they grazed on this lawn. Perhaps the sweetest moment of this spring scene was the sheep dog hanging with his flock. He’s a king among his buddies, no doubt. Photo taken near Salemi in Trapani…
