Capital Cities. This week's Lens-Artists challenge, hosted by Viveka (My Guilty Pleasures), asks us to consider the topic of "Capital". While the interpretation is wide open, I have chosen to share photos from Capital Cities. Amsterdam. Amsterdam has bicycles EVERYWHERE. I liked the colors in this photo as well as the creative basket on the [...]
When I began blogging, one of my great joys was stumbling upon the WordPress weekly photo challenge. The prompts encouraged me to think creatively about my photography. When it went away, I was disappointed, but also busy so I didn't seek out any other photo challenges. However, the Lens-Artists photo challenge has been on my [...]
Photography Series. I never do two posts in one day. BUT... I haven't missed a weekly photo challenge yet this year ...and I don't intend to start today. Photo Challenge. The word we were asked to interpret for the photo challenge was prolific. Prolific. Prolific is defined as: Present in large number or quantities; [...]
Paris. Paris is a city filled with history and amazing architecture. Today is a traveling day for me, but I wanted to share a Thursday Door. Place de la Concorde. This door is from Place de la Concorde. Place de la Concorde is one of the major public squares in Paris. It is located [...]
Paris. Paris is a city of beauty and wonder. As I strolled about the city, I constantly found new things which caught my gaze because of their splendor. Hôtel de Ville. I love the architecture found in Paris and the Hôtel de Ville was quite spectacular. It is located in the 4th arrondissement on place [...]
Paris. Isn't it strange how once you've visited a place, there is a different type of familiarity when you hear about the location on the news? That has recently been the case as I hear about the flooding along the Seine in Paris. There RER C line is temporarily closed. That was the line we [...]
Shakespeare and Company. 37 rue de la Bûcherie. Paris, France. Shakespeare and Company is an Independent Bookstore in Paris. From the moment that Helen commented that I should visit there while in Paris, I knew that this was one of the destinations on my "must see" list. As I mentioned, after our visit to Sacré [...]
Sacré Cœur. 35 rue du Chevalier de la Barre. After a morning spent making our way to some shops on rue d'Hauteville in Paris, we realized that if we had traveled all this way that we should continue on to see Sacré Cœur. We had already covered 2.2 km (1.37 miles) making our way from [...]
Doors of Paris. Part Deux. As promised in last week's Doors of Paris post, I'm back with another set of doors from our strolls around Paris this past spring. 66 Boulevard Saint-Germain. I was able to find the location of this door because it's located beside Jeff de Bruges. Now I'm wondering why I didn't [...]
Paris. The City of Love. La Ville-Lumiére. The City of Lights. Two beautiful nicknames for a beautiful city. A Corner of Paris. Last week when I shared some doors from Paris in this post, I realized that I had shared very little about the Paris portion of our trip this past Spring. The best place [...]
