My wife and I started our journey though the Verdon Gorges in Provence, France on a bridge just outside of Castellane, and a local spider had captured the morning dew in flowers on the bridge.

The sunrise was especially beautiful on Thursday 06/16/2011. It had rained the night before and a mist hung in the air.

My wife and I were driving through Chianti country near Siena, Italy when we had to stop and take in the amazing green undulating hills

We had a great meal in the countryside just outside of Greve, Italy and this was our view

The 1000 year old castle in Roquebrune Cap Martin, France, just outside of Monaco, had two rooms on display depicting what conditions might have been like for prisoners held in the castle long ago.

Walking through St. Marie sur Mer, France along the Mediterranean coast, my wife and I came upon the perfect representative picture of this working fishing village

After having survived the crowds while on the Rialto Bridge in Venice, Italy, I and my wife took a boat on the canals to view it from a safer distance!
