Wednesday Wander – Bridge of Sighs, Venice
My wander this week is to Venice, Italy.

I tilted my head, wanting to showContinue reading “#writephoto – Mine”

It’s also #BlogBattle Day, courtesy of Rachael Ritchey, and this week’s theme is ‘Trace’. As has seemed to be happening lately with these challenges, another scene has appeared from my vampireContinue reading “#BlogBattle ‘Trace’”
