#FriFotos – What is the West to You?

by Gina "SuuperG" Stark April 19, 2013 Travel and Adventures

Share West. It seems like a simple theme. But isn’t “west” relative to where you are? I feel like I’m pretty much residing in the quintessential “west” being at the farthest end of the North American continent – merely a few blocks from the Pacific Ocean. Trust me; I’m grateful. So, maybe it’s a […]

Romancing Nature. A Photo Gallery Tribute

by Gina "SuuperG" Stark April 16, 2013 Hiking

ShareI’m having an affair. I thought you should be the first to know. You’ve likely surmised as much if you follow my social media updates. But I thought I should come clean with my confession here, in a more intimate setting: I’m passionately in love with nature. “Earth laughs in flowers.” ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson […]

#FriFotos: The Encounter Restaurant at LAX – a Retro Symbol of LA

by Gina "SuuperG" Stark March 22, 2013 Travel and Adventures

ShareThis week’s theme for the #FriFotos sharing frenzy on Twitter is ‘symbols’. Being a native born Los Angelina (I escaped successfully 25 years ago) 😉 I thought this snapshot of the Encounter Restaurant at LAX to be fitting. My favorite part of the photo is how impromptu it was. I was literally awaiting pick-up at […]

Rab, Croatia: Boating, Belly Dancing and Beyond

by Gina "SuuperG" Stark February 20, 2013 Travel and Adventures

ShareAlready I can tell I will love Rab, both the name of the island and the town where we sail into the marina we’ll call home for two nights. As small and quaint as it is, Rab boasts no less than four bold stone towers, all visible from our approach. Once docked, we all head […]

NAIAS: Moving Fordward and Going Green with Ford

by Gina "SuuperG" Stark January 31, 2013 Travel and Adventures

ShareI must admit I wasn’t certain why I was invited to Ford Motor Company’s annual automotive showcase event and more recently the NAIAS – North American International Auto Show. I am a closet car enthusiast but my driving habits are not closeted…the California Highway Patrol has certainly recognized me as a speed “enthusiast”. Yes, even […]

#FriFotos Festive Fresh Snowfall Over Lake Fulmore

by Gina "SuuperG" Stark December 21, 2012 Travel and Adventures

Share I love lights and sparkle and glimmer and shimmer as much as anyone, but I think nature can fit the bill for “festive” as well. Today’s Twitter #FriFoto theme is just that; festive. My mind turned to this one recent favorite snapshot I took of nearby Lake […]

#FriFotos Gelato Under the Arches – Bologna, Italy

by Gina "SuuperG" Stark December 14, 2012 Travel and Adventures

ShareSo lovely you almost can’t touch it. Almost. Sweets! Somehow when we’re traveling we justify calorie-laden, creamy, rich indulgences more than when we’re in our home routine. Perhaps because we walk miles a day, performing industrial level sight-seeing. Either way, I had no qualms when I delved into this, the first gelato sampling of my […]

#FriFotos – The “Columns” of the Old Ocean Grove Pier, Pre Sandy, New Jersey

by Gina "SuuperG" Stark December 7, 2012 Travel and Adventures

ShareSo I’m discovering this #FriFoto sharing on Twitter has a given theme! I start searching for columns, thinking of course I’ll post some dramatic, sun-washed columns from either Seville or Bologna. Then I scan past this photo I snapped last summer, underneath the now extinct Ocean Grove pier in New Jersey… The sand was hot […]

#FriFoto – A Vintage Cyclist at Historical Greenfield Village, Dearborn Michigan

by Gina "SuuperG" Stark December 7, 2012 Travel and Adventures

Share I captured this talented old-time cyclist at the Greenfield Village museum and grounds, adjacent to the Henry Ford Museum where I visited this past summer. I spent hours meandering through important historical buildings collected and preserved here and brought to life by dozens of dedicated volunteers who populate the grounds and structures, educating guests […]

Oh My Gaudi! Being Broadsided by Casa Batllo in Barcelona

by Gina "SuuperG" Stark October 18, 2012 Travel and Adventures

Share I didn’t think I would like Gaudi. In fact, from what I had seen, I thought his creations were flamboyant, showy and, well…gaudy. Thank goodness it rained that fateful day in Spain. I was in Barcelona and, being the dutiful tourist, I of course was going to mark off having visited the obligatory […]

Only in Idyllwild – “To Bring Together That Which is Ball and That Which is Chain” A Wedding of Sweat Pants, Dungarees, Cosmic Lights and Random Witnesses

by Gina "SuuperG" Stark October 13, 2012 Random Ponderings

ShareOnly in Idyllwild. One hears this comment often in my little artsy town on the “hill” (more like a true mountain, but so approachable and intimate, we tend to call it a hill). But I think this one day topped it off when this week I found myself witness to a wedding of two people […]

Beautiful Bologna – Part II in Photos

by Gina "SuuperG" Stark October 2, 2012 Travel and Adventures

ShareThe way I see it; if I post a gallery of photos from my recent sojourn in Bologna and I call it “Part I”, I’m pretty much committed to producing a ‘Part II’. Trust me, this task is not taxing as sorting through the photos of my Blogville adventures is wonderfully wistful. Bologna, perfectly and […]
