Antoni Gaudi's Barcelona
Thu May 10, 2012 11:41 AM EDT
Few examples of art and architecture are as unique and individual as those of the Spanish Catalan architect, Antoni Gaudi. Deeply imbued with a religious spirit, Antoni Gaudi's skills and experience in ceramics, wrought-iron forging, stained glass and carpentry produced de …

I See Red! (and gorgeous gray)
Fri May 4, 2012 8:58 AM EDT
How often do we walk by the same thing a million times and don't stop to look at what we see? Right at our own doorstep? This sight suddenly caught my eye yesterday, and I ran inside to get my humble little camera to take a picture. I often see my backyard and beyond more …

Mon "Sherry" - Cheers!
Tue May 1, 2012 10:17 AM EDT
Seated before a row of sparkling wine glasses, I watched as the charming server, clad in a black cape, poured the pure, liquid gold into the glass. A taste of the young sherry, not yet aged and robust, but incredible all the same. I was enjoying every bit of this! Jerez d …

Soaring Flames
Thu Apr 26, 2012 10:24 AM EDT
Father, you stood alone By the pyre and wept Watching the flames that soared Upon the lonely dead The steadfast companion A half mate, the other half of sanity and reason bereft Lost in a world of shadows Neither shallow nor deep Watching the flames that soared Upon …

Gingerly Delicious
Mon Apr 16, 2012 12:28 PM EDT
Ah, ginger! When was the last time you cooked with ginger? That would depend on where you are in the world, of course. Take a flight to the East - China, India, Thailand, Japan and you would probably scarcely find a dish that didn't contain ginger in it in some form. Or, y …

Eggs-tatic Easter!
Tue Apr 10, 2012 11:02 AM EDT
Did you or your kids color dozens of eggs this Easter? My girls are too grown and I suspect we will not be doing too many egg-decorations any more! Each year the numbers dwindle and we were down to half a dozen this year. But they were beautiful!

India - A Tangled Web - Part II
Fri Mar 30, 2012 11:02 AM EDT
India is not a destination; it is a journey. Just like the river Ganges that flows through the geographical and spiritual heart of India, the pristine waters of the melting snow of the Himalayas descending into northern India, branching off into tributaries, picking up ev …

Like a Queen!

I captured the first one while walking in a garden in Delhi. It caught my eye; it stood majestically among the rest. The others are in my own yard. I am practicing photography!

India - A tangled Web - Part I
Thu Mar 22, 2012 9:05 AM EDT
Images of India, of a country that defies definition and gives a sense of contrast like no other. At least, none that I have seen so far. Here I am sharing a visual glimpse into one point of entry - New Delhi. New Delhi, Delhi, Old Delhi. It baffles you, it captures you, it stun …

If You could live a Dog's Life
Thu Mar 15, 2012 1:56 PM EDT
I have been watching my dog and her daily life very closely lately. Look at your dog or cat and try to imagine being in its place. Daffy, my dog is lying languorously on her soft bed, licking her paws from time to time, raising one eyebrow, then the other, as she&nbs …

A Song of Human Fragility
Tue Mar 13, 2012 12:33 PM EDT
I woke up in a pensive mood this morning. The world is in a grip of violence and the unending saga of horrors emerging from different parts of our planet continues with tales of woe and misery, of poverty and death, of unholy consequences of holy wars, of man against man, of fait …

A Mouthful of Spain

Allow me to take you along Las Ramblas, a street in Barcelona, to a place that will enchant and stimulate the inner epicurean in you. As we walk past numerous stalls with vendors hawking typical tourist souvenirs, the street lined with a variety of little shops selling everythin …

Innocence Plundered
Tue Feb 21, 2012 1:16 PM EST
With her pale, shadowed face She silently enters the room My eyes linger upon her feet Calloused, blistered, and bruised From walking with no shoes. A mere thirteen, and a pretty face She has much endured! To leave her home so suddenly When they could feed her no more. The sun sh …

A Question for Newsvine and its Groups
Tue Feb 7, 2012 3:11 PM EST
I joined Newsvine in November, 2011. As a newcomer, I wasn't sure what to expect. I browsed my way around the Vine, doing what newbies do - commenting first, seeding second, publishing last. I discovered there were groups I could join. So I perused the groups and picked a few.

Hey Mom,
This is really neat - I like reading your posts and seeing what people say about them. Thanks for writing about food and the pups. You are very talented and I love you lots and lots!
Hi Neetu M (originally responded/sent to your e-mail address - completely forgot how to do this on the vine until this afternoon, sorry for the intrusion)!
Yeah, I had family come into town for Christmas and New Years, so between holiday eating, drinking and being merry, I wasn't able to get to my computer very much :-)
I hope you too had a fun and happy holiday and wishing you all the very best for 2012! See you around the vine today, I'm sure!
Welcome to Newsvine!
