It was a sunny morning along the Danube River and we decided to bike from Dürnstein to Krems an der Donau for some coffee at a local cafe.  There was a cool autumn breeze preventing us from getting overheated on the bike path.  Little villages with ancient churches bathed in the sunlight.  Rows and rows of grape vines stretch from the base of the hills to the side of the river.  Just about to be harvested for the famous Riesling and Grüner Veltliner wines. 

This painting would look best in a space that is dark green, red, orange, yellow, violet, purple, blue, black, white, beige, or on wood.

We spent the morning biking through the countryside.  Passing all the scented fields of lavender and sunflowers.  The bright light of the sun shimmering on the dew of the flowers.  In the early afternoon, we came to a village in need of coffee and baked goods.  We rested our weary legs under the canopy.  Relaxing before we continued our amazing journey.

This painting would look best somewhere that needs a splash of color and compliment a space that is dark red, orange, purple, yellow, green, blue, black, white, beige, or wood.

The jeep bumps and shakes down the dusty road.  Our guide almost seems bored as our group is shocked and amazed by every element of the landscape.  We are on a visual hunt for the "big five" game animals: lion, rhino, buffalo, leopard, and elephant.  Our vehicle takes a tight turn and bursts through some dense bushes into the open Serengeti.  And that's when they appear.

This painting would look best in a space that is dark red, dark orange, yellow, green, light blue, purple, white, black, beige, or wood.

There's a wrestling outside my hut.  I slowly roll over and open my eyes.  As I sit up from my cot I see these long, graceful, spotted legs saunter by the window.  I wait a while for them to pass before I go outside to photograph them.  But, I waited too long.  Yet, I'm still left with this view before I depart for the safari.

Our bikes race up and down the gentle hills of Provence.  Everything has a distinct texture, the colors are vibrant, and the perfume in the air is intoxicating.  And every twisting road we turn down has countless rows of purple lavender and yellow sunflowers.  The heat of the Mediterranean sun presses against our backs as we pedal back to the village of Sault.  I'll never forget the fields of France.

This painting would look best in a space that is dark red, yellow, orange, blue, purple, black, white, beige or wood.
