Travel


Salamancan Doorway, originally uploaded by - di.

That is why we need to travel. If we don’t offer ourselves to the unknown, our senses dull. Our world becomes small and we lose our sense of wonder. Our eyes don’t lift to the horizon; our ears don’t hear the sounds around us. The edge is off our experience, and we pass our days in a routine that is both comfortable and limiting. We wake up one day and find that we have lost our dreams in order to protect our days.

I adore both Spain and Italy for the colour of the stone that they build with ...

Paint you should.

Maybe that's what I LOVE about travel. Living in Europe affords us that opportunity...one I thoroughly enjoy. Thank for stopping by my blog. Oh, and I love butterflies. That shot is gorgeous!

Hi Tera, nice to find you over here. The butterfly is beautiful, isn't it. I had to blog it :)
