Opportunity

A thought for your day, with my good wishes …

Opportunity dances with those already on the dance floor.

― H. Jackson Brown, Jr.

Hello again! I hope you’re enjoying these closing weeks of Spring ’25, and that you’re positioning yourself on the dance floor – as it were – to be there when opportunities arise. I took this photo of the Eiffel Tower from the Trocadéro, which gives the impression here of a marvellously situated dance floor.

Below, you’ll find more from my latest journey, including some Paris shorts and then a couple of “short” videos of a day trip to Italy. I’m uploading videos from this spring’s travel in chronological sequence on YouTube, with much more to follow. If you’d like to see more of my travel videos and pics, you’re welcome to join me on Instagram and YouTube, and you don’t need your own accounts to access my work.

Do you enjoy train travel? I thoroughly enjoy it. While in Nice, France last month, I discovered I could make my way to Cinque Terre, Italy by rising early and making a full day of it … and that’s just what I did!
