Have dreams, will travel.
Hello! I know it has been some time since I wrote a post. I haven't even had a Sunday Special uploaded. I apologize for that. I have been preoccupied with my next adventure, to be honest.

Some are weathered and show signs of age, others are large, looming, and full of life. Odd, beautiful, quirky, bold, comedic, sad, vibrant... Continue Reading →
