I travelled by myself to Europe in 1984 never having gone anywhere by myself before, let alone to a foreign country. I bought a ticket to Paris to return a month later. Little did I know it would be the adventure of a lifetime. I landed in Paris on July 13th and didn't even have a hotel reservation. For some reason I thought I could get on a plane, land in a foreign country and just wing it. Well, I did and was surprised at how friendly and helpful people were. This photo was taken towards the end of the trip when I went to Brugge, Belgium. Walking down a side street I felt I was being watched so turned and there was this mural painted on the wall. I had to take the picture.

These Crocus flowers were taken at Pickety Place in Mason, NH. That is a very nice place to visit to photograph flowers in the spring.

For years I had been thinking about the Chincoteague Ponies that inhabit this island in Virginia. This April while driving to Florida I decided it was time to take a side trip and finally see this area. This photo was taken about 6 a.m. on the island and what a beautiful place it is. Unfortunately the ponies were quite a distance away so we didn't get a good viewing of them. But this view was worth the trip.

Today I start a new chapter in my life. I have found that happiness can only be gotten by an inventory of our inner self. We must take care of ourselves. No other person can make us truly happy. We have to find that on our own. I thought marriage would make my life happier and it did not. Today I am divorced. It is a sad day indeed yet I know I will carry on, a stronger and better Carolyn
