There are experiences that stick in a person's mind and stay with them for the entirety of their life, however insignificant they may seem at the time. One of those moments for me occurred one day in the early summer of 1979 in a remote place in northeastern Arizona. Join discussion...

Living in Georgia, the thing I hate the most is NOT having a lot of snow in the winter. I was born up North and I am use to seeing it several times during the season. I have always lived where there was snow, LOTS of it in Colorado, nice dustings when I lived in Indiana but here in Georgia, oh my goodness chances of seeing snow in once in a Blue Moon! Oh, we hear rumors we "May" see some here and there, but I suppose I live in the Twilight Zone because we hear more rumors than actually seeing the snow where I live. A couple of weeks ago, we GOT some! It was so beautiful, light and fluffy snow. I took several pictures and that is what this lens is going to highlight. The Day it Snowed in Georgia! (Oh, by the way...the snow was completely gone the next day!) Join discussion...

From the Tappan Zee Bridge to the Rip Van Winkle Bridge the Hudson River Valley is simply gorgeous. The Hudson River flows under these bridges, actually in both directions (at different times!) since the river is an estuary with tidal influence all the way up to Albany. We live in Red Hook, which is close to the Kingston-Rhinecliff Bridge so we drive across it on numerous occasions, and the others quite often. Each of the bridges has its own character, and history. So if you haven't visited them in person, check them out right here! Join discussion...

Red Hook, NY is not my hometown but it is my daughter's. She was born in a hospital across the Hudson River in Kingston, but we have lived in the town of Red Hook all her life. Now that she's finished her schooling and has gone off to college, we could theoretically move somewhere else, but Red Hook is special so we want to stay! Join discussion...

There are megalithic stone monuments found all over the world built by cultures with very little in common and over time frames that span the millennia. I just love the mystery that surrounds their creation, who made them, how they did it, and why. In this quiz I'm testing your knowledge of where some of these amazing and mysterious monuments are located. There are pictures of each one below the quiz, and links to where you can find out lots of details about them if you want to cheat! Join discussion...

Slovakia has many places where you can go and they are not discovered yet by the world. It is increasingly important destination and whatever if you staying there a few days, months, or even years, you will always find something what you would like. This country from New Europe is not on first places what are offered by travel agencies and just because of that, this lens could help you to see that Slovakia has many unique qualities.
