Thanks for letting us know this sad news. I also enjoyed Isabel's travel posts and especially her beautiful photos. She lived in western MA in an area I know well because of family ties and I liked her pictures of that area as well as her travel photos

My fave shot of hers was that 'crepe-flipping cutie', a tweener girl working at her family's food market stall somewhere in France.
Had noticed Isabel's absence these past year.

I couldn't recall if I ever had any interaction with Isabel but it's always sad to lose a fellow fodorite.

Zebec I do recall that picture so until I saw your reference of it, I was sure I wasn't familiar with Isabel. Glad to know I was wrong.

Yes - isabel (lower case i)

She last posted in late June so it must have been pretty sudden.

What a shame. I never met her in person but we exchanged several PMs over the years about her trips to England, Yosemite and the California coast.

Oh what a shock. I’ve pored over her photos, reports and posts many times over the years.
Such a full life.
A great loss.

This is terrible news. I met Isabel in Lisbon in 2006. She lived in Massachusetts, as do I, and I always assumed we would meet again. Her photography is wonderful, and she was a lovely woman. May her memory be a blessing.
