I bring you the English Countryside Through My Lens. From May 21st to May 31st, 2017, I traveled in the U.K. My goal was to expose my readers to gardens and English countryside they might not otherwise see, or would like to see again. And being a member of Broadband TV, a YouTube partner, I have […]
U.S. Botanic Garden In January, I visited the U.S. Botanic Garden, located on the National Mall, just west of the U.S. Capitol. I moved to Washington, D.C., after college and spent almost two years there working on Capitol Hill, so I have fond memories of D.C. (It’s also where I met my husband-to-be.) My commute […]
On the Beaten Path: Great Falls Park – I started my adult life in Washington, D.C. working on Capitol Hill for a U.S. Senator and still have friends in the area. I love to return there and marvel at the natural and man-made wonders from time to time. During a recent visit, I dropped into […]

Jacq Davis, with her unique and creative approach to edible gardening is the perfect host, especially because she is such a great cook! […]
Cactus Lovers, check this out! A recent stop for my travel Vlog was the Stanford Cactus Garden, also called the Arizona Cactus Garden. Cactus gardens were popular in the late 1800’s. Former California Governor Leland Stanford and his wife, Jane, hired landscape architect Robert Ulrich to design one for them on their country estate, the 650 acre […]
I’m having a little trouble keeping the balls in the air. Now that I have taken to Vlogging (like blogging, but on video), my blog has taken a hit. Today is Memorial Day, and I’ll try to brief you on my comings and goings these last few weeks! In late April, I left the Late Bloomer […]
I’ve been vlogging my way across the east coast. Until this past March I hadn’t heard of a Vlog, so don’t feel bad if you haven’t. A vlog is like a blog, but on video, a video log. YouTube suggests vlogging to build audience for your channel. Travel makes a great excuse for vlogging. Young people are […]
