pause

I need a break with my blog.

I lack motivation and inspiration, I must admit.

It may be "normal" after more than 4 years? I don't know.

Thank you very much to all those who come here regularly.

See you soon.

Doooooooors

Here is lots of beautiful doors of Amsterdam photographed two weeks ago.

Have a nice week!

amsterdam 1

Back from Amsterdam.

This is really a very pretty city. Our stay was too short, one or two day more would have been perfect. We spent great time with Kristin and her daughter in a nice apartment we rent via Airbnb. It was fun to meet us again in another country :)

More pictures soon.

corner view / somewhere else

What a nice theme :)

 Here we are! We will be next week in Amsterdam with Kristin and her daughter (from Li+Belle blog) !!! This is the first time I go there, I'm so happy to see Kristin again and to discover this city. Initially it was not expected that we were going there by car, but as the prices of train and plane tickets were really excessive, we chose this solution.

Pictures of this trip soon!

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.

I ordered it, I wait for it!

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 ...

ad + ok go = ♥

Chinese advertising by OK GO. Great, right?

yesterday

Another gray and rainy weekend... so I made cookies (Maria's recipe) to eat with tea, the best comforting way to forget that spring is still not there ;)

corner view / imagination

Maybe you remember a Corner View whose theme was "experience". I chose to show you cards made to "promote" my work (here). I realized a new one that was not finished at that time. Now it's done, and here it is. This is my last trip to Copenhagen that inspired me ;)

And once again, I think the colors look a bit saturated on Blogspot...

Back to Skansen

Skansen / Stockholm / Sweden

Once again I post pictures of this open air museum taken less than two years. I think whenever spring is coming I have cravings for Sweden ;)

More photos of Skansen here, here and here.
