  •   A Mother Goose Rhyme, just in time for election day.     Hark! Hark! The dogs do bark, The beggars are coming to town: Some in rags, Some in tags, And some in velvet gown.           The Hungarian dog and the King and Queen in Tihany, Hungary.

  •   A swinging, singing witch?   A flying witch?   Or a laughing witch?     Whichever witch you choose to be, today, or in life, have fun! AND HAPPY HALLOWEEN!     Witches of Szentendres, Hungary, or perhaps variations of Baba Yaga, wise woman of Russian and Slavic folklore.

  •   Staying with a Hungarian family, is a lot like being with an Italian family, everyone talks at once. You almost can't imagine how these conversations can procede, especially without your valuable input!           Hungarian is actually spoken softly, most times, and these gorgeous pets were shot in Tihany, on Lake…

  •     Once in a while, exactly what we want, need, falls right into our – beaks.         Sea gull, Cedar Key about to catch a bit of bread thrown by the upstairs neighbors.
