Wordful Wednesday: Mum\'s the Word
Yes, I realize that I've been going a little overboard with the whole I'm-loving-fall thing here on C&H. But since we got cheated out of summer in the Northeast, it feels really good to enjoy the beauty of the changing season. Besides, winter wil...
Wordful Wednesday
These beautiful sunflowers were on display in the lobby at the Brown's Hotel in London. (A great place to have high tea, if you have the time.) Since they're one of my favorite flowers, I had to take a quick picture even if doing so made me look like...
Wordful Wednesday
This Cookie Monster cupcake served as my birthday cake back in April. He happened to be the perfect treat... I'm a big cupcake fan (what's better than portable packages of baked yumminess?) and I needed to limit my cake consumption that day. Passover...
Wordful Wednesday
Big Ben, LondonI really love this close-up shot of Big Ben taken during my summer vacation, one of many photos of London's incredible landmarks. The detail work on the clock, which turned 150 years old this year, is really beautiful. If you look clos...
Wordful Wednesday
I took a quick picture of this cute gingerbread Victorian home during my long weekend in Ocean Grove, New Jersey. This beach enclave is filled with similarly adorable houses, many of them built in the 1920s and beautifully restored. The unusual color...
Wordful Wednesday
You lookin' at me?I took this picture a year ago when we first brought home Puddy from the shelter. She was barely adjusted to her new home (and her crazy new owner) when I crouched down on the floor with my camera and got all up in her bidness. The ...
Wordful Wednesday
You've probably noticed that I like taking pictures of flowers. That's because they're easy, reliable subjects. Very pretty and extremely non-temperamental.This shot was taken with my point-and-shoot a few weeks ago in Spring Lake, New Jersey. (I'd l...
Wordful Wednesday
I've been feeling pretty nostalgic for summer lately (sigh!) especially on a rainy day browsing through pictures from last year's trip to Martha's Vineyard. There are similar town signs all over Massachusetts but almost all of them are in way better ...

Whenever I go on vacation, I love to take pictures of street musicians. (Interestingly, I always walk right past them in a hurry when I'm at home in New York City.) Not only is the music usually pretty good but the photos tend to be kitschy and fun, ...
Wordful Wednesday
I took this picture of the Palace of Westminster (aka the Houses of Parliament) from across the Thames on the London Eye. That's the big Ferris wheel built by the city to commemorate the millennium. At almost 450 feet tall, the Eye offers incredible ...
Wordful Wednesday
Sadly, I must report that I'm currently tapped out for Wordful Wednesdays thanks to the great crash of '09. (No, not the economy. Something of far greater consequence: the day my computer died and I lost all of my files.) I'm still not over it, okay?...

Hand-painted Mexican platesThese hand-painted plates were on display at a small open-air market somewhere outside Chichen Itza, Mexico. (If you tour the Mayan ruins, chances are your bus will stop at more than one of these places.) The artists are us...

InspirationHere's the latest addition to my Etsy shop. I'd love if you stopped by to take a look at my selection of handmade cards, including birthday, baby, thanks, congrats, all-occasion and lots more. Cinnamon & Honey blog readers get a 10% di...
Wordful Wednesday
My father had taken hundreds of pictures of us as kids but for some reason, this is one of my favorites. A three-year-old wearing a party hat and an "it's my birthday!" grin. Back when April 8th was the most perfectly magical day, simply because my h...
Wordful Wednesday
These were the "place cards" at a friend's wedding this past weekend. Guest's names were written on one side of the ball, the table was on the other. (We were sat at "right field.") That's real grass, too. Such a creative idea, right? The groom happ...

Cenote Ik Kil, Yucatan, Mexico. August, 2004A cenote is a beautiful underwater cave, a natural wonder common to Mexico's Yucatan. At the very top of the photo is sea level; a winding staircase takes visitors down 130 feet near the water. A tour guide...

Woodstock, Vermont, July, 2005The lush vistas, the gorgeous greens, the clean mountain air. Vermont in the summer is absolutely breathtaking. (Winter is quite beautiful but too brutally cold for me.) Look closely at the cows hanging out on this local...

Somewhere outside of Denver, April, 2007At first glance, there isn't much spectacular about this shot of Colorado farmland until you happen to notice the majestic Rockies looming large in the background. The mountains almost look fake, don't they? Th...

February 12, 2008That's me holding my niece Angelica Grace in the hospital just a few hours after she was born. (Her twin, Trevor Scott, was snoozin' away in a bassinet right next to mom.) I can't believe what a little peanut she was! And that she an...

Battery Street, Charleston, SC. December, 2002Doesn't this photo look like a Hollywood backdrop? This was taken in Charleston's historic waterfront with great care to omit modern amenities like cars, power lines or streetlights. Bonus: The horse and ...
Wordful Wednesday: Welcome to North Jersey
Hi to everyone visiting from Blog Around the World and welcome to North Jersey. (And if you're here for my weekly Wordful Wednesday, do I have a treat for you!)Now before you can even say it, don't even think about calling me a "Jersey Girl." I do ...
Wordful Wednesday
This is a dashboard shot of hazy, overcast I-95 South just across the border into South Carolina. It was taken during a road trip from Hoboken, NJ to Fort Lauderdale, Fla, at around 6 am with a point-and-shoot Nikon, using true black-and-white film. ...

Remember this great illustration? (How could you forget?)Well, if you go here, you can create something like this!Yep, that's my profile pic. Cool, right? It's so easy... just download your own photo and add whatever text you'd like. ("Hope" still s...
