I just realized. I didn't even manage to pass by the Rouge on my recent (and extended stay, even) visit to Paris. How did that happen? And why didn't I take more luscious Lensbaby shots (or just night shots, even), like this one?

Well, there's always next time. I guess. Right?

Well, it appears that next spring will be au Canada (Montréal and Québec City, wethinks), rather than Greece. My would-be Greek Island-hopping gal pals are understandably put off by the indefinite volcanic disruptions now daunting European air travel. Truth be told, I'm happy to give Europe a year to sort out how it's going to tackle this ongoing issue before I venture over yonder again.

A bilingual vacances to my neighbor up north sounds great though. What's not to love about Canada, and Québec in particular? Especially if the fleurs are this fantastique come printemps 2011.

With springtime in Paris now behind me, I am already looking forward to Greece (2011). Planning is half the fun, and more than half of that enjoyment is derived from thumbing (or clicking) through other people's pictures. Like this lovely shot of Oia on the impossibly dreamy island of Santorini.

I had really hoped to meet this handsome young man (granted he could be a she, for all I know) on my recent trip to Paris (and Père Lachaise cemetery), but our paths, sadly, never crossed.

Dagnabbit. That pesky volcano in Iceland jiggered my travel plans. Yours, too? Do tell (if you are so inclined)! That said, it certainly did make for some dramatic photo opportunities.
