Havana, Cuba

In 2009 my husband traveled to Havana. He took my camera along and I was pleased with the photographs he made. Recently I posted a couple of his photos on my blog and a viewer expressed interest in seeing more of the Cuba photographs. With my husband's permission, I am happy to share more of lovely Havana.

The Hotel Nacional

Beautiful Tropical Landscape

A great place for passing time.

I love these trees! They are so pretty.

Around Town

The vintage cars make it seem like stepping back in time.

 

Amazing Architecture

 

 

Wouldn't it be fun to cruise around town in this car?

 

 

I'm always interested in the food.

 

 

 Lunch served family style.

Street Art

 

Cuba is definitely on my bucket list.

 

(All photographs were taken by my husband.)

What Says Summer to You?

Streams, ponds, oceans, lakes. Nothing says summer to me like water. Travel often involves time near, in or on the water. I'd like to share photos from some of my adventures with you.

Peppers and Mushrooms

Do you know where your food comes from? These peppers and mushrooms are grown near Vancouver, BC.

Long rows of yellow peppers.

Peppers in several stages of development.

 

Beautiful healthy plants with yummy peppers ready for picking.

A simple pepper bloom.

 

 

One of the greenhouses where peppers are grown.

Have you ever wondered where those mushrooms in the grocery store come from?  Well, they don't come from a log out in the deep woods somewhere.

Almost ready for harvest.

Waiting to be weighed and packaged for shipment.

 

Soon to be found in a market near you.
