Back at it, finally, after a well deserved break. See my similarly titled new article (All Roads) in Monday’s Souciant. Last week’s piece, No Navigation Required, is still fresh, and, of course, thematically tied. New photos featured, as well as some older ones, some of which have already appeared here.
