This is my favorite place to shop for Moroccan treasures. It’s outside the city on a roadside area. We will visit on the Marrakech & Beyond tour coming in November. Are you ready to be culturally amazed? I will show you. Let’s go to Morocco 🇲🇦 See blog below. #worldtravel #photocoteries #travelsky
It seems there are communities everywhere fighting Data Centers. If you are one of them, this list can help if you plan to speak at a meeting. The effects are real and confirmed by those already living in the Data Center nightmare.
Reflecting Pool update. It looks like the blue bottom is no longer a factor. Dark grey will be similar to the original perspective and we will see the sky, clouds, birds and monuments in the mirror like surface. This is Paco Lane an artist 🧑🎨 following the story through painting of scenes in DC.
This photo was captured in Marrakech, Morocco 🇲🇦 by one of my guests at the opening area to my favorite magical garden. I’m heading back in early November with up to 6 tour guests. Building the itinerary now. Consider coming along. Travel changes you and lives in your psyche forever. #travelsky 🌎
Got my bird selfie in back in February, maybe it worked a little @cwebbonline.com 😂
Great day for the Kennedy Center. Trump’s name is coming off the building, signs and brochures and even better, he’s waving the white flag after it is ordered that the building cannot be closed down over 2 years for ‘renovations’. This is my bird selfie from March. #kennedycenter
Thank! It was excellent. The fountains ⛲️ outside are a treat. I sat there for a long time when it closed.
Follow up from last post. Here’s some Rembrandt. I could stare all day at his works and contemplate. There was glare on “Descent from the Cross” so I skewed it in the frame 🖼️ #blueskyArtShow
Today was pretty sweet. After the US Capitol was a visit to the National Gallery of Art. 🖼️. What a treat to see works of DaVinci and Rembrandt. Also artists I learned of today. These are a few of my favorites I was able to get to. #blueskyArtShow
First time touring the United States Capitol.  So freaking excited about this.
DAMN!!! Springsteen looking and sounding 🔥 WAR - what is it good for? Here we go! Live from Washington DC. E Street. #musicsky @brucespringsteen.net Land of Hopes & Dreams American 🇺🇸 Tour
Pre-Show Springsteen Karaoke 🎤 Love this long time! 😂🦋 #musicsky Washington DC / Nationals Park
There is interest in Marrakech & Beyond once again with a couple travelers. 🧳 My itinerary is so immersive and wonderful you will never ever forget this tour. I plan to put it on the PhotoCoteries Travels website very soon. 🇲🇦 🦋 #tourhost #photocoteries #wanderlust #moroccotravel #seetheworld
One of my happiest days of any year is vegetable plant buying day for my homesteading garden. I needed a new greenhouse after not being quite satisfied the past couple years with quality. I think I have found my go-to right here in Mt. Bethel. Time to plant!!! 🌱 #shopsmall

BAWL Room. 😂 Perfect analogy @mluckovich.bsky.social #bawlroom
We are at the State Theatre 🎭 of the Performing Arts FREDDY AWARDS this evening! I have the privilege of covering this event with Lehigh Valley Press in all 8 papers. Happy to be here to photograph and write this years story. #journalism
Interesting note. This post on FB went a little viral. Great news because that’s the audience we need to reach! #bluecrew 20.3 likes and over 5.1 shares too. Information highway and I’m breaking the speed limit. 🦋
Travel is a necessity for me. It keeps me sharp and understanding of things beyond my comprehension if I didn’t choose it as a priority or career in this later life of mine. I have a photograph gallery wall of the many places I’ve been and it just feeds my soul. #travelsky
I took this photo during Walk for Peace on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial. There was ice on the Reflection Pool. You can see people walking on it, but yet it was still reflecting the sky beautifully. This was the intention of this monument. Now it is forever changed into something different. 1/3
When a child starts to read I feel like it’s a little miracle. Sky is visiting today and was walking around the yard reading Shel Silverstein. She said “Gigi, I love poems”. Be still my heart 💕 #literature #booksky #poetrysky
For LV Press Focus 📰 The Wallflowers is on their 30th anniversary tour and by design is performing in sequence their album, originally released in 1996, “Bringing Down the Horse”. Another album played in its entirety was Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers “Long After Dark” released in 1982. #musicsky
I had the privilege of photographing Gordon on what I believe was his 80th birthday. 🦋 #musicsky
Sometimes I feel actual photography 📷 isn’t appreciated as much on social media with all the AI slop out there. But I will continue to feed souls and break the scroll with images I’ve made through time. This is Venice, Italy 🇮🇹 in June where the wisteria sings in the streets. #travelsky #wanderlust
