    Spring in Colour

    Healthy Mindset – Days 47 – 49 This is my favourite time of the year, and I’m happy that despite the uncertainty that still surrounds us, the one thing we can count on is that Spring will come. (Although as I type this, it sure doesn’t feel like a warm Spring day). The deep roots…

    A Sunny Spring Afternoon in Paris

    Healthy Mindset – Day 33 & 34 One of the great things about posting regularly on my blog again is that it’s making me go back in my photo library and think about the places I’ve been (I think I might have said that last week, too. It’s hard to keep track of the days!).…

    Notre Dame – May 2018

    Healthy Mindset – Day 25 Posting regularly on my blog again has meant reacquainting myself with photographs I haven’t look at in awhile, including the pictures I took of Notre Dame two years ago. As I mentioned the other day, climbing the narrow, winding stairs of the North Tower, was just a fun challengeq was…

    Healthy Mindset – Days 20-23 It will be quite awhile before we are able to travel widely again, and while I have lots of thoughts about what it could be like, for now, I thought it could be a nice challenge to pick one picture from each of the places I’ve been lucky enough to…

  • Healthy mindset – Day 3

    Healthy mindset – Day 3

    I’ve seen a few different ways that individuals and families are trying to keep a sense of community while homebound like turning their Christmas lights back, sidewalk art with chalk or displaying hearts in windows. I like the the last one. When I went for a walk on Sunday, I saw one house with a…

  • Went to Paris for the Seine

    It’s been an eventful year, and the other day, I was lamenting the fact that I haven’t taken that many photos this year compared to other years.  But, then one of my Paris pictures popped up on my screensaver, and I remembered I WAS THERE in the Spring! And, I took a lot of pictures!…

  • ceilings of the Louvre

    “Remember to look at the ceilings in the Louvre!” That’s the advice I took to heart in Paris.  The Louvre is intimidating – it’s the biggest and most visited museum in the world, so not only is there so much to see (over 35 000 works of art), you are often jockeying for a prime…

  • Walking Along the Seine

    One of my favourite parts of Paris was being near the Seine River. After a long, cold winter, the real purpose of the trip was not to visit the museums, eat the food, and drink the wine (okay that was part of it, too!!),  but to be outside and explore the city on foot. Every…

    In Paris….around every corner…

    …is something delightful to discover! The Stravinsky Fountain was on my list….and we happened on it accidentally after a wine tasting lunch while walking through the historical Beaubourg District. I love this mural by Jef Aerosol called Chuuutttt! A few days into the trip, after lucking out and just coming upon the Fountain, the guidebook…

  • Paris in the Spring

    Paris is always a good idea. -Audrey Hepburn After two weeks in Paris, it’s back to work and back to the real world.  Paris was everything I imagined it would be and more.  It sparked my imagination, and I wanted to check off the “study” box on my customs form on the return to Canada…
