Paris Posters: Child's Play

Just Horsing Around

Blowing off steam for me means fooling around with my travel shots [which I'm sure you've all figured out by now .. there's been a lot of blowing off steam going on lately].. These poster creations hold special appeal as they allow me to be express my inner child!!... I just can't decide which colours and tones I prefer so here's a few choices..

I've been working on these images for a friend... and now have a bunch of ideas brewing in my head just waiting to get out if I don't get sidetracked onto some other distraction .. like Christmas which is moving up on us quickly!! 

So stop horsing around and get a giddyup missy!!

Have A Great Week Y'All

And don't forget to write your list for Santa!

Paris: All The Kings Horses

A Child's View of Paris

Travel gives us the ability to look at the world with fresh eyes.. A child's view. No nine to five or daily duties to wear us down, we take in the world with childish enthusiasm. So with this is mind, here are some 'views' of Paris from my recent trip. I do believe my quirky 'Louis' may have influenced me just a little.

Thanks for the kind words on the last post..

I hope you are not tiring of my Europe posts?  I may be back home but my heart is still there.

Have A Wonderful Weekend

Le Tour 2011: And So It Begins

And So It Begins

It's that time again..  to pull up the sofa, turn down the lights and be transported by armchair to the mesmerizing landscape of France and the yearly daydream that is Le Tour de France...

Here in Australia we watch Le Tour in the quiet hours of the morning... Yesterday has only just left us.. Today is not yet begun and winter is calling us to find comfort and warmth in slumber.. but just as we practice our last channel flick before retiring.. a glimpse of Le Tour will capture us and find us lingering a bit longer.. Every year I find myself drifting into a meditative state as I watch the rhythmic cycling whiz past never-ending fields of lavender and sunflowers, or wind their way through rustic villages. My mind finds comfort in this yearly ritual, reminding me that a world of dreams  is awaiting  my return and that somewhere summer is alive and well and kissing the landscape with it's warmth.    

Last year I had a blowout on the first leg.. yes a nasty little spill called moving house.. It was over before it begun... I'll try a little harder this year to keep up.. and like any worthy endeavour, I'll start with the end in mind ...  Paris.. The location for success or defeat. Although I suspect all who make it to the finish line are successful no matter their position... These shots of Parisian rooftops are from my last trip to Paris.. 1996.. too long ago.. Time for more photo shoot fodder I think..... OK...

No More Monkey Business

on ya' bike!!

Have A Great Weekend Everyone

'may all your flatlands be dressed with lavender & sunflowers'

And to all my friends in the USA

 Happy 4th July Weekend
