I trust your new year is off to a good beginning! Let’s celebrate the first Friday of 2019 with a few of our favourite photos from France, that I hope will make you smile.


















I hope you enjoyed this brief break from reality. I look forward to spending 2019 with you, sharing our thoughts about books, reading, writing, life, friendship and whatever else we want to add in there … and of course, France! Bon weekend!
I may never have the opportunity to visit such a beautiful country, but I am Blessed to be allowed to see it through your pictures and stories.
Angela, it is so satisfying to know that you enjoy experiencing France through my books and photos. It’s comments like yours that keep me inspired to keep writing and snapping away! Happy New Year!
They are all absolutely gorgeous! I can’t get over how clean everything looks. I hope to see lots more pictures this year. Keep them coming.

With that kind of encouragement, I definitely will keep them coming. 🙂
