حب الصحراء Morocco 2023 by Lisa Appel

Hubu Alsahra’ حب الصحراء = Love of the desert

Journeys led by heritage, set off city by city tires rolling, towns, villages road side stops peek a boo I feel the energy of this journey from north to the south and eastward drawn to the desert. Most beautiful country and I was proud to see it beyond my mothers eyes from the high Atlas Mountains, to the desert, to the sea.

Sand through my toes spoke to me the loudest walking this landscape like a nomad free in spirit, full in the heart, mother and earth. Patience of watching light, sitting tight, holding your breathe and being in the moment.

LIFE, LOVE AND THAILAND ’22 by Lisa Appel

THAILAND ‘22 ROCK’D - Most of you saw my day 2 day on Instagram, but here are some highlights with my real camera. Colors, culture, lines, lighting prrrfection !!!

I celebrate 10 years of marriage to my beautiful husband John. Also 1 year passing of my matriarch, my Mother Najat’s passing. I celebrate both life, love & memories as my foundation of all things fortunate. My mother continues to guide me, I thank her everyday for the woman I have become. For my two favorite people to be celebrated in 2 different stories I give love, gratitude and grace…

I N D I A "Illuminate nature directly inward affectionately" by Lisa Appel

Land of light drawn to smells, eyes memorized by colors, senses all in an extreme sense state of consciousness. Cityscapes extremely congested, poor, smiles, smells, kindness, joyfulness, sorrow it all collected in the sky like particles .. filtering back down into souls with acceptance, appreciation, gratitude, respect for all forms of life in people and animals. Time holds no merit.. adventure of your senses. Breathe, observe, indulge…patience is a virtue to follow, “Mother Nature” speaks, follow and listen.

Himalayan mountains destination after Delhi the vein of India. Rain, fog, mud, no frills backpack style.. daily comfort stripped, it bears your soul to be open to absorb the message you went there to receive. Striving to see as many mountains in my lifetime my husband brings to me another uncomfortable brink.. Hike, hike, hike and climb, push, pull and just absorb. Being that high in the clouds and not knowing what may give way below your feet, but your soul is floating..  

Red dirt, heat, forts, people about to get really lazy, cool water.. palette about to explode celebration of birth numbers.. Virgo was blessed with desert paradise most of my favorite photos came from this region.  

Camera and I were beefing, short a long lens, rusty or was I to do something different? Drawn more to people. Women do not allow men to take their pics, they were so joyful to a lady w/a camera. Standing there celebrating womanhood, all smiles, pride in their textiles, colors, jewelry. Interest like an intersection, touch of skin, hair, exchange of smiles and photos.. loved the tribal/countryside woman we were all bizarre to one another. Another lifetime trip.. blessed.
