From Lens to Postcard: Vintage Coastal Prints You Can Download & Enjoy

I’m taking a fresh approach with my blog, turning it into more than just a space for storytelling—it’s now a place where my photography truly comes to life. Instead of simply sharing images in posts, I’m offering something tangible: downloadable and printable vintage-style coastal postcards. These aren’t just any postcards; they’re carefully curated snapshots of sun-drenched beaches, turquoise waters, and charming seaside towns, all captured between the Caribbean and the Mediterranean.

Whether for personal collections, travel-inspired decor, or even sending a handwritten note with a touch of vintage charm, these postcards offer a new way to experience and share my photography. This shift isn’t just about selling prints—it’s about creating an emotional connection to these places and inviting others to immerse themselves in the beauty I’ve had the privilege to capture. It’s a different kind of blog, one that turns photography into something both personal and collectible.

Weekly Photo Challenge: An Unusual POV from Sardinia

This week we are challenged with an unusual POV, and yesterday I found myself time to play around with just that –  POV. I was sitting on my sofa watching laundry dry when I decided to snap a photo through my window.

It certainly creates an interesting point of view from stunning Sardinia.

Why you should visit Capo Caccia {Sardinia}

Another great post via Girl in Florence about visiting Capo Caccia, Sardinia.

Let’s get lost in the mysterious Capo Caccia – a few kilometers north of Alghero with underground caves discovered in the 1700’s by local fisherman.

On our recent getaway to Sardinia this was pretty much top on our list of must-sees along with Stintino and La Pelosa beach about an hour to an hour and a half away from Alghero. Though taking the boat seemed enticing, we hopped in our rented Fiat 500 and drove up to the cliffs to see what Neptune had to offer. The drive up is incredibly beautiful, we parked on the side of the road and soaked in the amazing view of the sea and surrounding cove.

What can I say about the beautiful Italian island town of Alghero? I will admit, upon walking around at first sight – we didn’t feel like we were in Italy. It almost felt like a mish-mash of Spain, Italy and Morocco. Colorful facades, an almost derelict elegance – all complete with beautiful sea views from any given angle. I instantly loved this ancient fishing town that is only a 40 minute Ryanair flight from Pisa.

This town has a Catalonian feel – not by coincidence of course, it was taken over by the House of Aragon in the 1300’s to be renamed ‘Barcelonetta’. It remained under their control until the 1700’s when the powerful Italian Savoy family took over. Fortified walls line the sea along with huge catapults located at various corners to scare away invaders from the sea. The owner of the B&B we stayed at told us that…

A Caribbean storm over Seven Mile Beach, Grand Cayman. This is one of my favourite photos I took while living in Grand Cayman this past winter. I had a fabulous time watching this storm move in and even got a little wet.
