Two More NATJA Awards for Rose Palmer

Once again, for the fourth year in a row NATJA has recognized my work with awards for both writing and photography.

The 2020 NATJA competition was especially competitive since there was no longer a distinction between print and online categories. So this year, I was going head to head with writers and photographers from long established publications like the Washington Post, the New York Times and Conde Nest Traveler, which makes these awards all that much more meaningful to me.

Here are the links to this year’s winning entries:

Silver – Luxury and Resort Travel

Boomer Adventure on a Burgundy Canal Barge Cruise

Silver – Photography – Portrait, People

Doing it for the Gram

 

Thank you NATJA for once again recognizing my work and thank you to everyone that continues to follow and read my blog. Here’s hoping to renewing all our travel adventures again this year.

Spring in the Brandywine Valley – My Travel World International Magazine Article

How to experience spring in the Brandywine Valley gardens.

I absolutely love spring in the Brandywine Valley of southeastern Pennsylvania and northern Delaware. At this time of year I don’t need to travel because I am surrounded by some of the most beautiful gardens in the country. Starting in March and continuing nonstop through May, the gardens that were formerly part of DuPont family estates glow in a riot of vibrant colors as a succession of blooms brighten the landscape and my spirits with them.

You can read my article about spring in the historic Brandywine Valley in the most recent issue of Travel World International magazine.

You can see more spring garden photos in my post Tip Toe through the Tulips-A Colorful Collection of Spring Garden Photos at Longwood Gardens.

Thanks for visiting.
