Although I consider myself an essayist, I write poetry for both adults and children. My writing is inspired by my life experience as a mother, teacher, nurse, and environmentalist, as well as travel, nature, and color. Occasionally, you’ll find articles on my hobbies of crafting costume jewelry, photography, sewing, crocheting, and painting. I also write book reviews when the opportunity arises. Thanks for stopping by! I hope you enjoy what you read.
Comments are always welcome and help me understand what resonates with my readers.

Trips you can read about include:
- Bermuda
- Banff
- Scotland
- Ireland
- USVI
- Germany
- US National Parks
- and More…

Travel informs my writing in many ways, from awe-inspiring vistas to the observation of new plants, animals, cultures, and ecosystems, I take it all in…and write about it.

Much of my travel writing can be found on Medium.com, a platform on which I write under my name, Carol Labuzzzetta.
The easiest way to see photographs from my journeys is to follow my Silent Sunday posts – where I post my photography on a theme of my choice. In 2026, I am using the alphabet as a guide to limit my choices. F is the next letter – where will it take me? Stop by and find out!
