I avoid it at all costs. Complexity is welcome, but the very large part of me that is not an artist needs distance from drama.
Speaking of inspiration, your blog has provided some fine inspiration for me this year.
That’s big Dinkerson :). I’ll take it as a “thank you” and I will say the same to you 🙂 For a guy that tends to avoid it at all costs, you are very good at spotting it :D. 🙂 🙂 My best to you and your family!
What a wonderful series, Paula. Travel does bring joy, and a respite from the daily difficulties of life. May your New Year be one of peace and joy in all that you do.

I’m going from “simple” last year 2013 to courageous this year 2014…I believe I will definitely have some changes…
Hi Paula, 2013 has been a very challenging year for myself as well. For me photography is a great escape but to compliment I really have enjoyed your wonderful posts and photo’s. You have a kind soul and of course a great talent for capturing a moment in time, I look forward to much more in 2014 🙂
an expression was “keep on truckin”. you found more happiness on the road.
your photos are outstanding and posts were enjoyable so can’t see how you would loose.
enjoy a wonderful New Years. peace, Eddie
Truly fantastic array of photos and experiences, Paula. Travelling always seems to life the spirit, doesn’t it.
I hope that 2014 is a much better year for you and we get to see more of your fab photos.
These are absolutely fantastic, Paula! Judging by these photographs, you’ve had a good 2013. Wishing you all the best and amazing photos for the new year! Thanks for sharing these 🙂
It was a challenging year, but the pictures show it was a successful one too all things considered 🙂 I appreciate your comment Shakti. Have a great 2014!
I am sure you had a hard time choosing what to put in this compilation. It’s excellent, Paula. The pictures are exquisite! You are the nightingale, there.
And you made me think about it. 2013 was not an easy year for me either. But better than other years, and with a good perspective (better mindset :D) things can only get better.
Could you please provide more stars here, only 5 are shown here 🙂
Just superb images.
