  • No, I am not channeling Tom Jones….although I know your singing the song in your head now….sorry. The crisp, fresh air of Ireland bursting into spring was a nice change of pace from Bangalore.  The time adjustment was funny for me this time – finding myself wide awake at 4 in the morning and not…

  • Forgot to post these after Rick and I went to the City Market….each time I go there is amazing stuff to photograph.  These are just two that I really like…glass bottles for lime soda and an advertisement for underwear.

  • A spontanous decision during the holidays, 4 plane tickets and a lot of miles covered brings my sister and her family for their two week stay in India…never enough time but so so greatful that they undertook the trip at all and used what little vacation they had to visit us! Those who know me…

  • No, this will not be a debate about whether Kingfisher is better than Guinness – please, some credit. Cricket, an obsession in this part of the world, had it's world cup competition this year and Bangladesh, Sri Lanka and India were hosting.  Needless to say Bangalore, along with the rest of the country, was whipped…

Not too many…

  • After getting in the holiday spirit in Frankfurt, we headed west to hangout with family. We made it just in time for a nephews birthday – still can't believe how quickly they grow. During the holidays, there was a huge amount of fun, eating, laughing and more eating. The kids were great – their smiles…

  • Our way to San Francisco for the holidays we decided to extend our stay in Frankfurt.  We stayed in Römerberg near the Christmas Market and enjoyed walking around the area for a day.  Mulled wine to warm us and tons of sweets to choose from made for a very good start to the holidays. Here is…

  • I love heading out to the forest – quiet respite from the crazyness of the city.  A good friend is working on her Phd on the Racket tail Drongo and suggested a lodge near her location.  K Gudi turned out to be a fantastic find. Tent accomodations inside the nature reserve served as a base…
