Washington, DC is full of history.

Sunset at Lake Zurich, Switzerland People were throwing bird food in the water, and that is why birds were gathering in that spot. There were swans, ducks, seagulls and others. #birds #travel #nature
Swans, ducks and seagulls in the water near the shore of lake Zurich gathered to get food thrown at them by people, with three seagulls in the air. The sun is setting behind the mountains in the distance giving a golden hue to the sky.

Ghouda, The Netherlands I love cheese (who doesn’t?), and one of my favorite cheeses is Ghouda. This picture was taken a few years ago during a visit to Ghouda. We enjoyed the city (many things to do) and sampled cheese in some of the local cheese makers shops. #travel #food #cheese

Glass Maker Murano, Venice, Italy #travel #art
A man making glass in Murano near Venice. Glass making shops in Murano are frequently visited by tourists from all over the world to watch the ancient art of glass making and buy souvenirs. Some recently made glass objects are on the table next to the artist. The only sign asking visitors not to touch the glass is in English.

Telluride, Colorado This photo was taken in January a few years ago. It snowed a few days before we arrived and on the day we arrived, then cleared. Loved the smell of wood burning chimneys and the local shops and restaurants. It was peaceful and so beautiful. #travel #nature #mountains

Birds in a tree on our walk this afternoon. Usually we see that many birds in one tree close to sunset; neighboring trees had only a few. Someone must have called an emergency meeting. #nature #birds

interesting geometric patterns on the surface of a frozen pond in Virginia, USA. This is probably caused by cold wind blowing while the water was in the process of being frozen.

Traveling in Bavaria (Germany) in December you see many trees with mistletoe attached to their branches. Mistletoe is known in the Western world for its association with Christmas: if people find themselves under mistletoe they are expected to kiss. The cows didn’t get the memo.
