Shark Key, Florida

Many people may know Key West for it's wild bar scene and Margaritaville but what I love the most is the natural beauty! I took this picture from my friend's pier - paradise found! :)

Rome, Italy

Rome's most famous Gelato stop  - Giolitti. We found it in a Frommer's guide and I've never been more appreciative of gelato guidance. A gazillion different choices- blueberry, pistachio, coffee it's a must.

Vail, Colorado

I'm currently in Colorado and need to share just how beautiful it is here. Bright and clear the mountains are spectacular while Denver and Colorado Springs are full of charm and endless things to do. I can see why someone choose to make this place home!

Old San Juan, Puerto Rico

While in Old San Juan my coworker and I spent hours wandering the fort taking pictures. The historic homes, colorful tiling and cobble stoned streets provided endless opportunity for unique shots.

Toyko, Japan

While searching for a place to get lunch in Tokyo my coworker and I suddenly found ourselves in the midst of community parade. Here local boy scouts (well - their outfits look the same) were marching along with some sort of Pokemon character. I really had (nor have) any idea what's going in this picture, but the whole event was certainly memorable.

West Point, Virginia

I took this picture on the Pomonkey River near West Point, Virginia at a friend's river house. The time was too-early in the morning, but I appreciate the quiet simplicity of the pier and lone pylon. I feel like some people might want to add a dreamy quote in negative space but I'll spare you.

Huntington Beach, California

I love the big wide beaches of California, especially this one - Huntington Beach. Notorious for the scores of surfers that (attempt to) carve through the waves. The boardwalk here may seem small but is almost 1/4 mile!
