Kawachi Fuji Garden in Japan
Added to my destination hit list. If I were to stroll through this garden my problems would melt away. How can one worry or feel badly surrounded by such beauty?

Grapes wrapped in goat cheese
I must try this recipe immediately! Simple to make, yet impressive enough to bring as an appetizer to a party. And anything wrapped in cheese in bound to be amazing, yes?

Get out there this weekend
Aren’t these neat photographs? You can view more here.
But don’t camouflage and sink into your wallpaper and sheets this weekend - get out there! Have fun! Breath fresh air ( I hear it’s good for you) and go for a walk (I also hear this has its benefits).

Home sweet home
I really love these two home decor ideas.
The top one is framed wallpaper to set the background. Makes it easy to change the feel of the room as often as you like!
The bottom one has that cozy rustic feel to it, but to be honest, all I can think is how can you possibly keep that wall clean?!

Men who are hot
A man’s hobbies and career definitely say something about the person he is.
What hobbies and careers do you find most attractive?
Beside the popular responses of fireman, policeman, and doctor I can’t help but think a man who builds with his hands is the sexiest. Perhaps I should consider hanging around Home Depot more often…

Four things to say to a friend after a bad breakup
Re-blogged from A Cup of Jo:
1. Say two little words. When your heartbroken friend is talking about her worries, she’s probably also wondering if she’s annoying you. The best thing you can say to someone who’s spilling her woes? “What else?” You’ll show her that you support her and want her to share all her thoughts—as long as it takes. My friend...

Sandwich art
Food has really become an art. What piece of artwork would you like to see on a sandwich? I think Monet or Van Gogh would take some serious mastery in the kitchen.

Imaging USA
My postings here have slowed down and you may be wondering why - well, it is because I was in New Orleans for a trade show! I represented Zenfolio at Imaging USA, a popular photography convention held annually.

Classic
Take a classic and make it new again. There is no better example than grilled cheese.
So you might have outgrown the all American cheddar melted with half a stick of butter on sourdough, but that doesn’t mean to give up on this traditional wonder.
Suggestions I have recently tried: - Bree with sliced apples -mozzarella, tomato & avocado - Gruyere with pesto
The possibilities are...

Hunger games
Have you guys read The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins? It is one of those best-sellers that everyone seems to be talking about, so I caved in and read it. I must admit, it was entertaining and addicting and I finished all three books in four days!
But then I got to thinking. This is book is Twilight all over again! An addicting story that was easy to read and straightforward - but the writing...

Vintage art prints
Etsy seller missquitecontrary sells her fine art photographs printed onto vintage dictionary pages. You can try your hand at doing this yourself — just be sure to use archival inks and find an old dictionary or encyclopedia with thick pages.
I think it would be really neat to take this idea and make it more personal. Perhaps a photo you took yourself printed on a newspaper article, favorite...
