We left the cabin before 5am to be in the right place at the right time.

The title of this post is inspired by a song by Jason Mraz by the same title. In the first stanza he sings,
The world as I see it is a remarkable place . . .
From a bird’s eye view I can see it has a well-rounded personality
From a bird’s eye view I can see we are family.”
This photo, taken south of the Italian town of Sienna, shows off the Tuscan countryside at its spring best. During the four days we spent there this past May, we had about 30 minutes of sunshine, bookended by rain and clouds. And I was fortunate enough to have my camera overhead just after sunrise on the day the sun decided to show itself..
Tuscany does indeed have a well-rounded personality. And, like many places I have been both abroad and certainly in South Dakota, there is no doubt that the world is a remarkable place.

The last morning of our escape to Mexico earlier this month was marked by unusually “cool” weather. 58 degrees - ugh! We had a few more hours on the Costa Azul (the Blue Coast) before we went back to the airport and ultimately back to the Frozen North. So, bracing ourselves, we put our jackets on and went down to the shore.
I flew the drone one last time and caught Deb watching the gentle waves of the Pacific Ocean lap the south coast of Baja California. She appears to be deep in thought, doesn’t she? We can only imagine what she might be thinking.
