End of year travels
We have been back in France for nearly a week now from our trip to the ranch for the Christmas holidays. As usual we had a great time with family and friends, but there is just nothing like coming home. …
Photo Highlights of 2022
Steven here and, as usual, I have a hard job at the end of each year. How can I possibly choose my favorite photos from thousands I have taken? The answer, of course, is I can’t but I have tried …
What’s coming up in 2023?
