A Gift of Mindfulness

Today, as I celebrate 55 years on this planet, I’m filled with gratitude. I also wonder where on earth the years have gone. Seems like only yesterday I was a wide eyed teenager. I reflect on all the experiences that have made up my journey so far, all the joy and blessings, all the challenges and lessons. And I feel as though, in many respects, the best is yet to come. Whilst this year has been one of the most tumultuous humanity has seen, for me personally it’s been one of inner growth and transformation, one of surrender and being…

Friendly Friday Challenge - Quiet Places

The world can be a stressful place at times. Often there is a need to step back and re-energize our tolerance to stress, pressures and worries. Certain places in the world can be restorative to our spirit. These places may be somewhere in your own region, in your own street or even in one's own backyard or a quiet city street. Such 'Quiet Places,' may bring solace and a settling of the nerves. Dalen, Norway In the year of Covid confusion, I re-visit quiet places in my dreams. Photo archives bring those memories to life again, if only for a…

A day in Dorchester

Dorchester is the county town of Dorset in south west England and on one sunny Sunday morning recently we decided to go along and explore this historic market town. We left our car in the Fairfield long stay car-park which we were pleased to discover offered free parking all day Sunday making this a welcome start to our day. The car park was on the edge of the town but not very far from the centre. Our first stop was to the Borough Gardens located just a few minutes further on. These gardens were laid out in 1895 and are…

No Words Necessary!

Fall is definitely in the air and the trees are popping with more color every day. I'm loving it and have been out exploring at every opportunity. No words are necessary to describe the beauty of autumn found here in northern Wisconsin. These photos were taken this past week when colors were said to be 30-50%. Every day, more leaves are changing and peak color around here should be the first week in October. Hopefully the weather will cooperate in which case, I'll be one happy photographer, and if the weather doesn't agree, I'll still be a happy camper surrounded…

Judgment By Garlic - Friday Fictioneers

Hello my peeps! It's Wednesday and that means Friday Fictioneers! This week, I'm the teacher's pet as it's my photo being used as inspiration. Woot! Thank you, Rochelle, for hosting this week after week. Should you wish to participate, please, click on the frog below and add the link to your 100-word story! There's something about a braid of garlic hanging in a kitchen. It's a reassuring sign. It tells me the person who does the cooking takes it seriously and does it with love. Call me crazy but, just like you can judge a person by their bookshelves, so…

The Islands of Brittany

With over 800 islands and islets, Brittany boasts almost 70 per cent of the island bodies of metropolitan France. Some support thriving local communities while others are home to only seabirds and the intrepid traveller. Here's a brief sketch of some of the main inhabited islands, starting with those off the north-west coast and moving counter-clockwise around the peninsula to the south coast of Brittany. Île de Bréhat Just a mile or so off the charming north coast town of Paimpol is Bréhat, perhaps one of Brittany’s prettiest islands. Bréhat consists of two main islands that are linked by a…

French Riviera: Must See Places

Most of us can only dream about where we’d like to visit next however I would encourage you to do more than just dream. Plan and prepare for when we can all travel again. I'm conscious that many of you only have a few days to spare for my part of the world, so where would I encourage first-time visitors to the French Riviera to go? These places are in no particular order and can all be easily reached using public transport - train, tram bus. Nice Obviously I would have to say start with Nice, an all year round…

My Empowerment Photoshoot

Time For EmpowermentI am grateful that I was one of the 40 women who was chosen to receive an Empowerment Potrait sessions with the owner of Butter Studios. She was celebrating her 40th birthday this year, so she decided to share her happiness with her photography skills. She recommended that we should get a professional makeup application for the shoot. I thought about it for awhile, as I was able to do my own makeup. However, at the end, I called Margaret Lai to book an appointment. She was the makeup artist that collaborated with the studio. To be honest,…

Sunday Stills: Wishing for Water, But #Droplets Will Do

My return to blogging was fun and satisfying after a tumultuous break! Thank you for welcoming me back last week. It was great to catch up with you! If you are confused by this week’s Sunday Stills post, we are examining the world of water droplets. In my dry, still excessively warm part of the world, if I want water, I must turn on the garden hose. Artificially produced water droplets will work! After the few weeks of turmoil I recently experienced, I find calm and peace in my backyard garden any time of year. During our recent visit to…

The 1st Biden/Trump Debate Was Ugly and Weird

One of my favorite activities during the Christmas season is re-watching Home Alone. I know every line, every scene and love it all. The family running around packing for France, the pizza, the bumbling robbers, the old man shoveling rock salt, the tarantula, the house lights, the paint cans, the background score, John Candy and the Kenosha Kickers being quite popular in Sheboygan; it’s 103 minutes of Christmas spirit for me. However, one character stands out among all the familial dysfunction: Uncle Frank. He doesn’t have many lines, but in every scene in which we see him, he is acting…

Camberwell and 'cartography on wheels', by Jaleh

‘From Brockwell to Berkeley’ is an ongoing series of snapshots from life on opposite sides of the Atlantic. It’s written by two close friends: Hannah (who moved from London to California in August 2020 to study overseas) and Jaleh (who remains in London). Hannah has been in California over a month now; she writes about learning the routes and rhythms of a new place. When I call her, she speaks from a sun-drenched square on the screen, browner and blonder than I remember. From my furry fort (two jumpers, a fleece, and a blanket), I listen to her descriptions of…
