This blog is all about amateur photographer and travel lover, C. Ihus and her adventures in life. Things she discovers and photographs, crafts she's made, and places she's been as she's traveling. Quirky topics (lost in translation, cultural differences, snarky sarcastic comments) , cool events, and random happenings seem to follow her as she explores her world and shares what she sees through her eyes.
