The key to success
Travel with Intent 
I’m bowled over by your photos. You have a great ‘eye’ for subject matter, a first priority in photography, IMHO. Then, you do an outstanding job of taking the photograph. I’m adding you to my limited list of ‘follows’. You needn’t be flattered, I just couldn’t handle the flood of blogs if I followed every one I liked. Keep up the good work!

Thank you for such wonderful comments John. You have made my day, and more! In our crazy, hectic online world it is hard to get noticed. And it is simply wonderful when someone truly enjoys my photos.

Yes, happiness must be seen as a goal and not a mean. When you finally achieve inner happiness then you can consider yourself successful. Really good reminder. I really appreciate it!

A happy image on a holiday Monday, that is overcast. Sigh, was hoping for nicer weather for the Air Show today.

Funnily enough one of my teacher’s told my dad that when I was choosing what to study at university. My dad was pushing for maths, but my teacher told him it had to be what I enjoyed the most, and Russian won!!

Are you fluent, Debs? I’d love to be fluent in anything these days, but it takes work and I’ve grown lazy. Good for that teacher of yours! đ đ

No, my Russian is now atrocious. I managed to use it a tiny bit in Moldova – I managed to buy wine and honey đ I’ll need to work hard to pull it back. I love learning languages but to be fluent you need to work hard and preferably live there, and without anyone that speaks English!

That’s very true! Shame to let a language go. I hate that muffled sense where the language comes at you and you recognise bits but can’t put the whole together. I shouldn’t be here but working on audio stuff đŚ
