Hello, my friends! I have missed you! I’m back and honestly, have lost count of how many planes, trains, boats, water taxis, cabs, buses, rental cars, trams and trolleys I’ve been on in the last six weeks. I can’t keep track so won’t even ask you to try.
Often I felt I was crazy to tackle the itinerary I had laid out for this last journey but, ultimately, it proved very successful. I am home – jet-lagged, bruised, blistered and sunburnt but grateful to have had the opportunities to photograph wonderful destinations, work with new clients and visit a faraway friend.
For you, a collage of images taken over the last 10 days. (Some locations I know you will recognize. Others are new to both of us: the David Austin Rose Center in Albrighton, England, and a garden-themed assignment I did for a wonderful London-based client.) Tomorrow I’ll return with a tribute to my favorite city, which is holding a huge celebration this weekend! Hope you are all well. Many thoughts of you accompanied me on the road and inspired many of these images. (More to say but I can’t stay awake.) xo Lots of love, – g

Hi Henrietta! Yes, the last six are from Amsterdam. You're right, it could be England – I forgot about the canals there, too. I spent one day in Amsterdam with my friend Eline Pelinkhoff. More to come! xo

Beautiful images. David Austin roses are some of my favourites, reminders of the idyllic and rich historic past, beautifully fragranced. Your London trip would have been a buzz with all the Jubilee celebrations, which I watched on TV. Am a huge fan of Queenie!
