It snowed the night before our visit to Yosemite last winter. When we got down to the valley, the snow had created an eery, foggy glow that I couldn't resist capturing.

The Redwoods National Park does a pretty good job putting into perspective how tiny we little humans are. These trees are breathtakingly enormous.

The gate to The Globe theater on the South Bank in London has TONS of these little creatures incorporated into the gate. This dragon was my favorite.

The five towns that make up the Cinque Terre in Liguria, Italy became a national park in 1999. It is one of the coolest and most beautiful places I have ever been to and we even enjoyed it in the pouring rain.

Sang's Gift

While in Cambodia this past June I spent parts of several days at Cafe Fresco, a coffee shop in Phnom Penh that had both air conditioning (good for my laboring computer) and wireless. On my last day a waitress named Sang, who in the preceeding days I had had several conversations with, pulled a 500-riel note out of the tip jar and in about sixty seconds transformed it into a swan, giving it to me as we said goodbye.
