Red is far and away my favorite color in the rainbow, but boy does this baby blue make me want to move in next door.

Lovely lomo. Lovely mademoiselle d'Eze. I can't wait to meet her.

The first time I saw the Pyramide du Louvre by I.M. Pei, I must say I was not impressed. Not sure when or how that changed, but I'm enchanted for sure. Now. And how could you not be under a delicious cotton-candy-colored sky like this? Fantastic capture.

Why aren't towns and cities in the United States a fraction of this charming? I suppose old Boston, parts of NYC, and elsewhere quaint on the East Coast can come close, but the rest of the States - in terms of charm - falls pretty generally short, in my book. With few exceptions.

I like the "light at the end of the tunnel" feeling that this photo elicits.

I love laundry days. Mine aren't nearly so photogenic, though.

Can't wait to stand and stare (and snap) this spring, firsthand.

In the meantime, I am happy to allow these beautiful images of Les Calanques de Cassis to take my breath away, from afar.

I'm not dead yet, and neither is this photo blog! Though it has been flat-lining for quite some time now, it seems. I don't know what it is, but it's been a beast to keep up with. Every time I make time to update and maintain, something else ends up consuming said time (and energy). Oh how I hate that. I need my virtual vacations. And so do you!

Praise the lord, my springtime in Paris is coming closer by the day. And it can't come a day too soon! I am looking forward to collecting new memories and dreams of the city through the lens, before jetting off to explore the French Riviera on film; well, you know. That new-fangled digital kind. Praise the lord for that, too. There's no way I could afford both to travel and to develop all my photos without the innovation of digital photography.

And speaking of Paris and photographs, how gorgeous is this Technicolor beauty?
