Travel Tuesday :: Hot Air Balloons

Nothing awakens child-like wonder and nostalgia like a parade of hot air balloons, high up in a blue sky among fluffy clouds. While they’re not exactly a predictable mode of transportation, instead they say, “Let’s go where the wind takes us.”

Travel Tuesday :: On a Bicycle

There’s nothing like seeing the city streets or country roads on two wheels. With the wind in your hair and the sun on your face, a bicycle can take you just about anywhere.

Travel Tuesday :: Last Day at the Beach

Travel Tuesday :: The Great Outdoors

With summer just days away, many of you are probably planning to go camping, hiking, beachcombing or cottaging. Quiet places of untouched landscapes and fresh air. You’ll come back with cameras filled with beautiful images of the wilderness; endless mountain ranges, deep blue seas, and wild animals.

She will be participating in Artists in the Park, taking place on Beausoliel Island. Some of her considerations include dealing with electricity requirements and what equipment to pack. Read her post HERE.

Travel Tuesday :: Europe

Quaint, colourful shops, cobbled streets and sweeping views are just a few of the charms that invite the world to explore Europe. Brimming with history and romance alike, it has endeared itself to artists for centuries.

Many of FPOE’s photographers are world travellers with tales to tell and pictures to share with you. One of my personal favourites is Georgianna Lane, who has the dreamiest images of the France, London and Italy, from Monet’s country garden to the gondoliers of the Grand Canal in Venice. Visit her Etsy shops below, and also her blog for wonderful stories and pictures from her travels- whenever it pops up in my blog reader, I know I’m in for a treat.
