reading & music

The book of Maylis de Kerangal is sometimes hard to read because of the emotion. A young man has died in a car accident and the hospital asked the parents if they are ok for organ donation. Times of sadness, questions of parents, their feelings, how to present this request to parents, etc ... full of difficult and delicate moments. "Repair the living" is the title of the book in French.

The biography of Marie Antoinette by Zweig is really good. Loved learn many details about the destiny of this woman. Makes me want to read other biographies of people living at the same time. I also want to go to Versailles .... it's weird but I have never gone there...

I'm from Barcelona / Growing up is for trees

Very good indie pop album. They'll be playing next week in Paris. I'll maybe try to go to their show but this is not sure for the moment.

corner view / once upon a time

Once upon a time a beautiful and exotic trip to China ...

In fact, not at all.

Last Thursday was a strike day at school so we decided to spend the day at the zoo.

We went to the Parc de Beauval located about sixty km from home.

This is not the first time we go there. But we wanted to see the giant pandas ("lent" by China) who arrived there two years ago (this is for that reason they built pagoda and chinese buildings around the pandas enclosure). But we wanted to see all animals of course. And there are lots!

Here are some portraits. This zoo is very large, it would be best to spend two days to see everything perfectly. I'm not naturally a zoo fan but I have to admit this one is a beautiful place. This is one of the best (or maybe THE best) zoos in France and even Europe, that's what they say ...

bon weekend !

I'm not often on my blog right now but I wish you a good weekend anyway ;)

corner view / in bloom

This morning, my photo session was fast when I went to photograph what was blooming in my yard. Four types of flowers: Kerria japonica, Rosemary, violet and Chaenomeles japonica ... it's not much! I hope this spring will start soon ...
