Hello, my friends! I have missed you!
I'm back and honestly, have lost count of how many planes, trains, boats, water taxis, cabs, buses, rental cars, trams and trolleys I've been on in the last six weeks. I can't keep track so won't even ask you to try.Often I felt I was crazy to tackle the itinerary I had laid out for this last journey but, ultimately, it proved very successful. I am home – jet-lagged, bruised, blistered and sunburnt but grateful to have had the opportunities to photograph wonderful destinations, work with new clients and visit a faraway friend.
For you, a collage of images taken over the last 10 days. (Some locations I know you will recognize. Others are new to both of us: the David Austin Rose Center in Albrighton, England, and a garden-themed assignment I did for a wonderful London-based client.)
Tomorrow I'll return with a tribute to my favorite city, which is holding a huge celebration this weekend!
Hope you are all well. Many thoughts of you accompanied me on the road and inspired many of these images.
(More to say but I can't stay awake.)

Lots of love,

Gorgeous, so gorgeous. Last pictures look like taking in Amsterdam but I suppose they are from England too!
ReplyDeleteHave a relaxing time now at your sweet home:)
Hi Henrietta! Yes, the last six are from Amsterdam. You're right, it could be England – I forgot about the canals there, too. I spent one day in Amsterdam with my friend Eline Pelinkhoff. More to come! xo
DeleteSo very, very gorgeous! Welcome back :)
ReplyDeleteWelcome home! Your photos here are breathtaking. I am looking forward to seeing more...

Can't decide which one I like best! Look at that bicycle with the polka dots! I always love photos of bicycles! And I quite love the clogs...and then all the gorgeous indoor photos too! Yikes! Georgianna...your eye and your skills always make it all look so beautiful. Hugs, Annette

Hi G ~ your images are spectacular as usual, but you must be thoroughly exhausted! I could use that kind of exhaustion! Need a travel partner? LOL! Looking forward to more pics! xo
ReplyDeleteDear Georgianna,
ReplyDeleteThat is funny! We may be gone over each other and had no idea!
We were last tuesday until friday in Amsterdam!
And you was in Paris - ahhh, my favorite city!
Is this Versailles?
Hugs
Yvonne
ooo David Austin Roses how lovely, would love to visit there. Looks like Amsterdam too :) Can't wait to see your next post, enjoying the Jubilee celebrations on tv. Hope you get lots of rest x
ReplyDeleteMaravillosas imágenes, querida Georgiana. De buen seguro que tu trabajo se traducirá en una obra magnífica, como a la que nos tienes acostumbrados. Espero impaciente que la compartas con nosotros. Un abrazo!

ReplyDeleteBeyond words Breath Taking
Gorgeous pictures again Georgianna! And so dreamy! Have you been in Amsterdam too recently? Gosh, we could have walked into each other then LOL! The pictures are really beautiful. I can imagine you're so busy! Take good care of yourself and simply enjoy!
ReplyDeleteHugs,

Beautiful images. David Austin roses are some of my favourites, reminders of the idyllic and rich historic past, beautifully fragranced. Your London trip would have been a buzz with all the Jubilee celebrations, which I watched on TV. Am a huge fan of Queenie!
