Photo Friday

Park City is just quieting down now that the visitors in trendy fashions and sometimes impractical shoes have gone home with memories of their Sundance experience just in time for the Oscar awards this weekend. With so much attention on films, my sharing this week is on films and the pleasure they bring....
People talk about their holiday plans as an intention to really have time to gather together with family and friends and to connect. I have to say I agree. Not only are our dear ones more dispersed geographically, but demands on everyone’s time has grown and no one is...
It’s a sign that I have had too much winter when I start reminiscing about summer time and nostalgically remembering my trip to the lakeside enclave in the Northwoods just below Lake Superior. Architect Hank Louis (Gigaplex, Park City) designed this summer home at water’s edge with the...
