Amalfi Coast Travel Atrani Restaurants and Things to Do Moon

PHOTOGRAPHY · October 10, 2014

Foto Friday | Moonlight in Atrani

No matter what's going on, there's always a refuge for me in the beauty of the Amalfi Coast. It's the kind of beauty that you can throw yourself into completely. It truly is good for the soul. And when you add in a spectacular, nearly full moon and a warm October evening? Oh, what a little moonlight ...

Amalfi Coast Moments of Poetry

PHOTOGRAPHY · September 5, 2014

Foto Friday: Instructions for Living a Life

There are so many ways that the poet Mary Oliver has captured beautiful moments of life in her work, but this excerpt from her poem "Sometimes" is perhaps my favorite. It has that slap you in the face simplicity and speaks a truth that really resonates with me. So few people pay attention to what ...

Amalfi Coast Travel Nel Blu Dipinto di Blu

PHOTOGRAPHY · August 29, 2014

Foto Friday | Nel blu dipinto di blu

Oh, it's good to be back home on the Amalfi Coast. Since moving here many years ago, I've never traveled back to America in the summer. After enjoying warm weather, sunshine, fresh picked sweet corn and BLTs in Nebraska, I realize what I've been missing. But then I come home and see colors like this ...

Amalfi Coast Travel Garden Terrace

PHOTOGRAPHY · July 11, 2014

Foto Friday | Amalfi Coast Garden

Often when I'm out walking or hiking on the Amalfi Coast, I simply have to stop and marvel at the way of life that people have created here - often for generations. Way high above Amalfi, and nowhere particularly roads, you see terraces of lemons. And you know that to tend those lemon groves, make ...

Ciao Amalfi Coast Travel Finding Center

PHOTOGRAPHY · June 20, 2014

Foto Friday | Finding Center

This week I've finished up a massive writing project that has kept me even busier than usual of late. It felt good. It felt very good! But now that things are settling back into the normal level of busy, it's time once again to focus on balance and recenter. Lately life has felt a little too much ...

Amalfi Coast Festa della Liberazione

PHOTOGRAPHY · April 25, 2014

Foto Friday: Festa della Liberazione

Today is the Festa della Liberazione, a national holiday in Italy commemorating the liberation from fascism at the end of World War II. Quite an important historical event to celebrate and an even more important one to never forget. I caught this photo of the Italian flag (with the symbols of the ...

Amalfi Coast Travel Positano Photography

PHOTOGRAPHY · April 18, 2014

Foto Friday: Love Me Tender

When I'm in Positano there's always one person I miss - my mom. I'll never forget that February day back in 2007 when we first walked on the beach together, picking up sea glass and pebbles and alternating between smiling and crying from happiness. This photo is dedicated to my mom, Sandra Thayer, ...

Ciao Amalfi Coast Travel Cathedral of Amalfi

PHOTOGRAPHY · April 11, 2014

Foto Friday: The Duomo in My Dreams

I woke up this morning just after sunrise but before the alarm beeped the beginning of a new day. I'm a morning person, even on the mornings when my body feels like starting a little bit slower. Even before I had moved, my brain was fighting its way through the fog of sleep and when I woke up it was ...

Amalfi Coast Travel Vespas in London

PHOTOGRAPHY · March 28, 2014

Foto Friday: Vespas in London

While the coffee shop scene in London is drastically different than the Amalfi Coast, there is one familiar sight that I spotted outside a shop. All of the Vespas! Aren't these three lined up so cute? ...

Amalfi Coast Travel Steps in Amalfi

PHOTOGRAPHY · March 21, 2014

Foto Friday: Up the Ancient Staircases in Amalfi

Just like all the top travel destinations in Italy and around the world, there are certainly times during the year when Amalfi can be quite a popular spot. But I feel sorry for the people who say things like, "Venice is too touristy" or "Amalfi is too crowded." Those people miss out on so much. I ...

Amalfi Coast Travel Lemon Trees

PHOTOGRAPHY · March 14, 2014

Foto Friday: The Lemon Trees

How I wish this delivery of lemon trees was for me! The other day I spotted this cluster of trees waiting to be carried down the steps carefully to their new home on a terrace overlooking the Amalfi Coast and sparkling blue sea. Lucky little lemon trees! Some day I hope to have my own little garden ...

I’m back! After some time in the USA with family I’m back! After some time in the USA with family, I’m back home in Amalfi and adjusting to the time with my usual early morning walks. What’s not usual is that there are so many people out and about now compared to when I left in July. At 7:30am this morning there were already people set up at the beach to get those first sun rays that you can see just hitting the beach. Very clever! The water is so clear and pretty in the morning. I enjoy watching the changes that come throughout the season. This morning there were two guys tossing a football on the beach. That was unexpected! 🏈
