I don't have any travel plans this fall
and I'm feeling the urge.
Where would you escape if you could?

I would love to see the old and mystical places in England, Scotland and Ireland, like Glastonbury, Tintagel, Loch Ness, Newgrange and Stonehenge. That would be so fantastic !!! Have a great day.
Oh that painterly photo entices me to Venice (I think that's where it is?) ... Wonder if the bad economic situation in Italy has affected quality of restos and accomodations there?
My daughter went to Sicily last year and she and her partner were not impressed with how the towns were managed (by the mafia we understand??) ...
Anyway ... your photo art is like stepping into a dream of what once was.
Old towns in the southwest are calling to me these days. But if that doesn't happen I have promised myself to get to some museums and galleries this winter. I have been neglecting that..... and am hungry for it!! Hope you get a getaway!!
put me in the picture, venice would be just fine. i do love a fall trip but like you we have nothing planned. my next trip is not going to be a quickie extended weekend. i'm ready for a nice relaxed trip someplace.
Mexico always calls when I think of winter. To tell you the truth, Fall in New ENgland is so spectacular, I don't think I would go anywhere else but here. Bring on the color and I will escape to my home.
Sometimes things aren't what they seem. We settle in somewhere, thinking it's going to be safe and hospitable and just what we hoped for, a magical haven that provides us shelter from harm. Then reality sets in and we realize that we were mistaken. That soft place to land turns out to be quite a bit less soft than we'd anticipated. In fact sometimes things get downright hard and cold and unforgiving. Not at all what we expected. Do we stay and make the best of it or fly away to build a new nest somewhere else? Sometimes the most valuable lessons come from learning to see the beauty right in front of your eyes. Sometimes we bloom most gloriously when we learn to thrive just where we are and come to love just what we have. Maybe each of us is exactly where we need to be, learning lessons custom-made for us.
Haiku My Heart i invite you to imagine living in peace one day at a time I have to admit that I'm finding it hard to celebrate the birthday of my country having declared its independence from Mother England, when the country was founded on institutionalized slavery, the idea that white men were created equal but but black men were less than and women weren't even considered. We tend to glorify the "all men are created equal" phrase without looking at the reality. We can do better. We must.
