Dear Friends,
As we say au revoir, adios and farewell to the beautiful summer season of the Berkshires, it’s sooner than you think until the chilly winter months of winter arrive! Time to take a few days to refresh and restore – our favorite destination is on the equator in the high sierras of Ecuador. Join us January 26 – 14, 2016.

It is such a treat to have another writer, artist and friend appreciate travel and the creative spirit. Here is Catherine Tsintsos’s article. She has integrated her description with some of my pictures: http://www.summerbluesindigo.com/travel.html

And here are some lovely bird pictures from a recent Smithsonian Magazine article – no need to be a hard core birder to enjoy the treasure hunt in Ecuador: see: http://www.smithsonianmag.com/travel/birdwatchers-flock-ecuador-180956466/?no-ist
