C'est ce que j'aime le plus...
Des petits détails qui donnent un sens, qui racontent une histoire
ou tout simplement qui interpellent celui qui regarde.

Autumn

.

My photo - taken on one of my many walks last week...

.
When the trees their summer splendor

Change to raiment red and gold,

When the summer moon turns yellow,

And the nights are getting cold;

When the squirrels hide their acorns,

And the woodchucks disappear;

Then we know that it is Autumn,

Loveliest season of the year.

by Carol L. Riser

I'm finally back, it feels like Autumn is finally here,

and I am one happy lady...
I hope you are too !

'tis the season...

.

HAPPY HOLIDAYS!

BONNES VACANCES!

Les trésors de chine s'accumulent dans la maison,

entrent en scéne tandis que d'autres

partent en coulisses,

petit à petit chaque chose trouve sa place...

Love at First Sight...

.

My first encounter with Suno NY, by Max Osterweis,

was when I read an *article in the New York Times,

way back in February, about him and his use of kanga and

african print...

I love, love, love his modern take on vintage prints
with stunning effects...

.

.

- lots of mixing and matching, clashing and more clashing,
and some african print thrown in for good measure...

during trips to Kenya.."

Parfois...

.

.
Sometimes i love to cook,
and sometimes i love to watch

Sometimes i just want to hide under my quilt
and sometimes i want to leap out from under my quilt...

Sometimes i want to be with lots of people,
and sometimes i just want to see noone and be alone

Sometimes i think outside the box,
and sometimes i don't know how to do otherwise

Sometimes i think i can,
and sometimes i know i can...

Sometimes I want to escape for a day...
but I always want to come back!

Sometimes I forget how lucky I am.

Do you have a sometimes?

Dreaming is just about all I have time for at the moment, other than work,
hopefully I'll be back posting a little more regualarly and
catching with your delightful blogs soon...

My Style...

.

The concept of true style is mind-boggling to one and all.

Even if we try to dissect it,

we never come anywhere close to actually attaining it.

The majority of us think it's just a matter of buying the latest,

freshest clothes on the racks and copying exactly what the mannequins

are wearing...

Of course, it isn't, and never has been, about copying others,

whoever they may be...

I love this definition of style by Gore Vidal

“Style is knowing who you are, what you want to say,
and not giving a damn.”
.

What is your definition of style?

the iconic Citroen 2CV

(launched in 1948 at the Paris Motor Show )

.

by Citroën Guy
.

I had a blue convertible one when I was a student in London and

travelled the length and breadth of the UK

and Europe - slowly but surely

(they're surprisingly robust)

.

A friend of mine calls it a "marmite car", i.e

you either it love or hate it !

.

See here

for a fun video which is well worth watching for a laugh...

.

I'd love to know what you think...

Sailing into the Sunset...

.

well, not exactly, as we'll be leaving at dawn, but

I thought it sounded good...

We're taking a break

- off sailing for the week -

à bientôt!

Who? Me?...

.

5. I have an incredible amount of patience for some things,

and absolutely none for others...

.

4. I love the aroma of freshly ground coffee...

.

3. I have a special, unshakable, deep-rooted love

for Paris...

.

2. I don't like people with no sense of humour,

I've no idea how to

relate to them;

I find they take themselves too seriously...

.

1. I’m more interested in ideas than what other people
are doing in their (private) lives...

A Happier World...

.

Image: Côté Sud

If every life learned to share

A happier world we would have

We could share our lives

And share our thoughts

Without any kind of recrimination

We could share our love

With all the strangers

That may come our way

Around the world

Making new friends wherever we go

If sharing was not just a dream

Paradise at our feet

Would unfold

There would be no more poverty

For every crust of bread, we’d share

We can only dream that one day

Many hearts will beat as one

Many minds will think alike

No more terrors will strike discord
And sharing will become the word
