Destination: Bali

Bali offers a magical blend of culture, people, nature and culinary diversions that will have you scouring the island. Earlier this week several family members spent a day trip to the island of Nusa Penida with snorkeling at Mantay Bay along with stops to take in Kelingking Beach, Broken Cliffs Beach and Angel Bllabong Beach.

Most of Bali is mountainous which is great for hiking, but Broken Beach is an incredible cove with an archway that wraps around the bay allowing the ocean to flow in and out of Nusa Penida Island. Kelingking Beach is hidden with framed towering cliffs, deep turquoise blue water and white sandy shores with the most amazing views.

Jatiluwith UNESCO heritage site of rice terraces along with Tanah Lot temple, Pura Ulun Danu Beratan and Mengwi Taman Ayun temple. Love the cats in the lower right photograph [pretend they’re tigers]!!!

Travel stylishly,

Spring Storms

After a long day at work the last thing, I need is to arrive home with power outages due to weekly spring squalls. Last Thursday a severe thunderstorm blew in to shake the entire neighborhood with lightning and intense wind gust. As I pulled into Heath, I couldn’t resist peeking at the sky and the surrounding beauty that nature has to offer. So,  I grabbed my phone to snap a few photos of this atmospheric ambience before ducking [safely] inside.

Enjoy these anomalies safely,
Kathleen
