Zuzu in Santa Barbara

Zuzu by lamppost

To show that Zuzu is really behind the camera or in front of it in all of blog photos, here she is by the Santa Barbara lamppost.

Zuzu is soon retiring from travelling and quickly running out of photos from her past world-wide visits. Her year-long blog will be ending shortly, but her favorite photos and many other pictures will be shared on a new Flickr site: http://www.flickr.com/photos/gallery_prior/ (Note Flickr link has been corrected).

Be sure to visit the new site to see the best-of-Zuzu photos and wish her the best of luck.
