Sisterhood Stories......Friendship

What a fantastic weekend spent in Venice.  You know as you get older you think its harder to make friends (well at least I did).  In my experience this hasn't been the case.  Photography has opened a whole new world of possibilities and friendships.  I'm grateful to have spent the weekend with 30 wonderful and talented women.  We laughed, we cried, we froze, we got rained on, we waded through floods, we drank, we ate and we talked......boy did we talk!  Thank you ladies for making my weekend memorable.

Chateau et jardins de Villandry

Ah memories of holidays past, well last year to be precise.  No holiday in France is complete without a visit to one of the beautiful chateaus.  Chateau and gardens of Villandry in this case.  Here are some images of the beautiful gardens.

New York!

Ah New York! What a great city.  Every year I get withdrawal symptoms, longing for a trip to the Big Apple. It had been three years since I'd been so I was in serious need of a fix.  The appointment for that fix came on my birthday last when I received a ticket from my hubby.  Thank you Paul!!

Myself and a friend headed there last month.  We had just gotten over the freezing cold weather here in Ireland and headed over to NY in anticipation of more freezing cold weather.  We were not disappointed!  It was cold, so cold in fact that we had to brace ourselves every time we reached a street corner coz the wind chill would cut you in two.

We were staying in the Chelsea district and had the perfect view from our window.
Of course we did the shopping thing and kept some time to go out and take some pics.  The Brooklyn Bridge from the Brooklyn side was our first port of call.  That required a journey on the subway.

We also headed up to Central Park...


These were taken not far from Central Park heading downtown.  Guiding Lights!


It's hard to resist taking pics of the tall buildings. And of course no holiday in NY is complete without a trip to Times Square.

I definitely heart New York!!! :-)
