if i could re-live an afternoon over + over...

yesterday afternoon, my co-workers and i were invited to spend the afternoon at a camper's beautiful home on the bosphorus. our hosts were inredibly gracious and generous - providing us with a delicious lunch and letting us tromp through their bedrooms to jump off the balcony.

i only jumped off the low balcony. the highest balcony looked like a sure death wish. i was later showed up by the third grade camper who after much deliberation, took the plunge.

  1. oh, wow! I can see why you'd want to relive such an afternoon again and again. Carefree days and kind people are such rare gems in this world. I'm glad you had such a wonderful day!

  5. As a new Janis Blogspot follower I just want to chime in and say what a truly wonderful blog you have here. The pictures along with your creative descriptions make me feel as if I am actually reliving that day on the Bosporus with you, as if I was there myself. I really love all your photos, you have a real eye with the lens, however I notice one of the picture includes you jumping off a deck. An amazing picture, seems as though you travel with some great photographers!!
