May is here! I've decided to keep offering my free downloadable desktop wallpaper calendars of my artwork every month. May's photo featuring a beautiful Italian Poppy!
I know last year I also did my May calendar featuring poppies but to me they just say MAY! I love the poppy fields that would bloom every May. This one is different, I chose a close up to really appreciate the details of the poppy.
In North-East Italy, in view of the Dolomites, fields of poppies pop up all over in fields dotting the countryside during the month of May. They only last a few […]
Continuing through this whole year of 2015, I'm offering my free downloadable desktop wallpaper calendars of my artwork every month. September's calendar captures the beautiful Lago di Barcis (Lake Barcis).
Lake Barcis is a beautiful lake located in the Dolomites in North East Italy. Nestled in the mountains, this lake is gorgeous from all view points. Sitting next the lake is a charming Italian town that just adds to the view. I had the chance to visit this lake many times because it was located less than an hour from where I use to live in Italy. I will say […]
Continuing through this whole year of 2015, I'm offering my free downloadable desktop wallpaper calendars of my artwork every month. May's calendar is featuring the colorful and beautiful poppy fields of Italy.
In North-East Italy, in view of the Dolomites, fields of poppies pop up all over in fields dotting the countryside during the month of May. They only last a few weeks because they usually cover fields used for other crops by the farmers. This also means they can change which fields they are between years. I loved to go out finding which fields were full of these red […]
Continuing through this whole year of 2015, I'm offering my free downloadable desktop wallpaper calendars of my artwork every month. February's calendar is from a night photography shoot I did in Venice, Italy. It features the largest bridge in Venice and a well known historical landmark, the Rialto Bridge.
I chose this photo for February's calendar because when I think of February two things come to mind: Carnevale and Valentine's Day. I recently wrote a post all about how fabulous visiting Venice during Carnevale can be, you can read it here. This brought to mind the city of Venice. After visiting […]
Now that it is towards the end of January, in Europe carnival season is about to begin. Living in Italy for nearly 4 years and being in close proximity to Venice, gave me a chance to see Carnevale at it's best. If anybody is around Venice during this season you should definitely give it a go. Venice is fabulous in itself, it truly is a very unique city, but during Carnevale the city comes to a bright and energetic life that only is seen at this time.

Starting in September 2014 I started offering free downloadable desktop wallpaper calendars of my artwork. December's photo actually comes from a little snow boarding adventure we had in the Italian Alps. Near the city of Cortina, Italy lies the slopes of ski-able mountains that are beautiful and enjoyed by many skiers and snowboarders alike.
This part of the mountains are so beautiful and just go on and on. The winter snow just gives them this magnificent crisp and awe-inspiring quality to them. On a nice sunny day like the one pictured here, we could just see for miles and miles of […]

The first time I arrived in Venice after hopping off the train and walking down the steps outside the train station, I was in awe of this beautiful city. It was love at first sight. My husband was right there falling in love with it as well. As you can imagine I took a lot of photos that first trip. We spent the whole day there, walking through the streets, crossing the bridges, enjoying gelato, and a score of other things we enjoyed there.
After living in northeast Italy for four years, I had many travel […]
Starting this fall I will be offering free downloadable desktop wallpaper calendars of my artwork. September's photo is from my Italian Travels collection. Photographed in Florence, Italy, this is one of my favorite Italian views. Finding the lookout point was a bit of an adventure. Traffic in Florence can be a little scary if you are unfamiliar with Italian drivers in a city setting.
As we came to the top of the hill, this view caught my eye and would not let go. I fell in love with this vantage point of Florence and had to come and photograph it […]
