When traveling without the kids, I have the chance to appreciate my surroundings. Without the need to corral and feed and take care of children, I get to stroll and observe and notice details. And take photos.
Lots and lots of photos.
Blame yourselves for the following upchuck of digital images. You asked for pictures.
Just be grateful that I can't set up a slide projector in your living room. That presentation most certainly wouldn't be wordless! (Hey, there's your first thankful for your TToT list this weekend!)
Have a lovely day!
Lovely photos Christine, many of them extremely creative. My favourites are the first, the third, and the stained glass window, that's gorgeous. And you can come and set up a slide projector in my living room any time you like :)
ReplyDeleteThank you! I thought I knew what stained glass windows were until I got to Europe. Have mercy, they knew how to make a statement with a window back then!
DeleteBeautiful - really nice job so creative and artistic. :)
ReplyDeleteVery pretty...and absolutely you could make a calendar or two. Thanks for sharing. :) And I would not mind a projector in my living room...bring it!
ReplyDeleteLet me know if you want to put an order in. :)
DeleteMy dad has one. Don't think I won't use it!
Beautiful photos, Christine! Recognized a few of those spots!
ReplyDeleteThank you! Have you been? Besides the tower, which ones?
Deletegreat pictures! and I'd come for a slide show, I'd even bring the popcorn!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks! Would the popcorn have a little bit of butter on it?
DeleteGorgeous photos! You have such a knack for story-telling; I wouldn't mind the extended-version slideshow edition!
ReplyDeleteThank you! You would be getting more than you bargained for. This could be one looooong presentation. :)
DeleteWow, you took some fabulous shots. Just wow!
ReplyDeleteHave a fabulous day. ☺
You take amazing pictures! I don't know which is my favorite, but I'm leaning towards the one of the greenhouse-type building, because as you scroll past it, it moves.
ReplyDeleteThank you! I loved that building. It is in Kew Gardens and is full of tropical plants. The photo of the red flower was taken in it. There were iron spiral stairs and ornate railings, but this shot was my favorite of the actual building.
DeleteGorgeous photos, Christine! What are all of those locks signifying? They look like they have little pieces of paper on them? Is it a prayer wall or something like that?
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteIt is called the love bridge, or something similar. This bridge is completely covered with locks. Couples write their names on it, with maybe the year or date of the anniversary they are celebrating or a saying, then attach it to the bridge. It's all about the love, Baby! :)
thanks a lot! (leave a clark a comment sometime, would ja?)
DeleteI'm with everybody else here...absolutely gorgeous photos! Please tell me you used your "real" camera and not your iPhone so at least I have an excuse. :)
ReplyDeleteThank you! All but 2 were taken with my real camera. The ocean and the city view from the inside of the tower were taken with my phone. Are you on instagram?
DeleteI have an Instagram account but have not taken any pics. :P I'm one of the last holdouts and still have a Blackberry and feel rather silly taking pics on R's iPad. Haha! I will look you up though. :)
DeleteNow that my totally, 'hey!-no-has-mentioned-the-odd-photo', has been destroyed by a blogger who will remain un-identified* I have to go back and review them again...which is not a major chore, v good pitchas, Ms. Coop, v good.
ReplyDeletePlease don't tell us that you took them all with your phone! very excellent quality.
....ok, got it! (my second favorite, not-totally-co-opted by a certain, un-identified extra sensory perceptive clark) photo is a toss-up between the Eiffel Tower (the bent one) and the Duck la orange...
* her name rhymes with Kristi Rieger Campbell, but I want to protect her privacy
Leave it to Kristi to take your nomination.
DeleteThank you, Clark. I hope scrolling through them twice wasn't too taxing for you. ;)
I only took a few with my phone. Most are my real camera. Have no fear.
Cute duck, no?
Beautiful! Love France! Have a fabulous week!
ReplyDeleteThank you! This trip only made me want to venture out and see the rest of France. Someday...
DeleteThank you!
Wow, these photos are frame-worthy! Exceptional. Looks like an incredible trip!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Beth! It was the most wonderful trip.
DeleteLove the composition of so many of these! Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI am in love with these photos! Ah, France, I miss you!
