A thought for your day, with my good wishes and my thanks for your patience as I’m in the midst of redesigning and updating my website …

It is very strange that the years teach us patience

— that the shorter our time, the greater our capacity for waiting.

― Elizabeth Taylor

These photos are from the second last day of my most recent stay in England. I woke up with no set plans for the day, and decided it was about time I saw the White Cliffs of Dover. They were as spectacular as one could hope, and I struck it lucky with the weather. It was raining as our train pulled in to Dover, but the sun soon emerged and made for a wonderful day. I walked the windy cliffs over to the lighthouse, enjoyed the gorgeous wildflowers, and joined volunteers on a tour of the military tunnels that lie within the cliffs and directly across the waters from France.

I have many more pics from this wonderful all-day outing and, while you’ll see I did venture relatively close to the edge of the cliff, I did so with great care … particularly given the strength of the winds.

I’ll be back in England this October – and still have a bit of wiggle room in my schedule for additional speaking engagements – and look forward to continuing to explore this beautiful part of our planet.

If you’d like to see more of my photography and videos, click here for my Instagram feed. For the next while, I’m continuing to concentrate on IG stories (simply click on my headshot to see the stories) rather than posts, and you’ll see plenty of uplifting images from home and afar.
