- We were walking through the most beautiful cherry blossoms in Kyoto, Japan, when I walked into this tiny (1 inch!!) caterpillar hanging from a thread at eye height, blowing in the breeze. All I could think was that this little caterpillar was struggling to get back up his thread, to build his cocoon and turn into a beautiful butterfly in several weeks. Living in a country (UAE) which is either warm, hot or really hot, seeing the seasons and the transitions they bring to the flora and fauna was a wonderful experience.

- Enjoying a book in the morning over breakfast with great light - one of the best combinations to start the day: coffee, a good book, eggs and a muffin. And sometimes you are joined by friends of the earth; in this case... and ant.

- It was one of those perfect Spring days after a long New Hampshire winter..... my 9 year old daughter jumped on a playground carousel and started spinning. I love the joy on her face with the wind in her hair.

- On my southeast asian road trip I took many pictures of street life, people and food. I shot this one while sitting in a bus in direction halong bay, vietnam. I had seen this painting many times hanging in restaurants and hotels but never full speed on wheels.

- Every few years, we take our kids on the road. As the miles hum by – some more quickly than others – we look forward to the surprises along the way. A July hailstorm in Colorado. A perfectly preserved Egyptian mummy in a small-town mansion. A buffalo staring down our car on a mountain road. In the midst of a 5,000-mile trip, we paused for a photo at Garden of the Gods in Colorado Springs, Colo. I crouched down to get more background in the shot, lost my balance and landed splat on the ground, trying to save the camera. You can see the compassionate reaction from my kids.

- While hiking in Scotland we encountered an ancient breed of highland cattle known as "kyloe". They are stout and have adapted to grazing on plants which many other cattle avoid. Their long shaggy hair protects them from the cold winters and rainy weather. They curiously approached us because to them, I'm sure we were the unusual looking visitors!
