Monochrome Monday~In Style

Back in the day, riding in style.

The Sunday Traveler~Happy Places

The Sunday Traveler has just returned from the happy place. Yes, after some twenty years I returned. Disneyland has changed a little bit, and grown a whole lot. As I just returned yesterday afternoon, I will rest and recuperate after two and a half days roaming the parks, and assuredly besting my steps count. I’ll spend some time going over a lot of photos that I took, and see you back here next week. I’ll throw in a couple of photos during the week on my regular posting days.

TTFN, as I learned at It’s a Small World…ta ta for now.

Wordless Wednesday~Dollars

Monochrome Monday ~ Winged Victory

The sculptures in the Louvre lend themselves to black and white. The Winged Victory of Samothrace is one of them.

The Sunday Traveler ~ Paris in My Dreams

I look back at my photos of Paris from several years ago and feel as if it was all a dream. One very short week to soak it all up.

Long days were spent squeezing in all we could.

It was the beginning of the holiday season, and that made everything seem so much more special. so much more colorful.

Window shopping was inevitable offering so much more to see.

Walking around brought a little snippet of city life everywhere

Taking a cab to the airport early morning on the day we left gave a final bright au revoir.

Friday Flowers ~ Narcissus

Narcissus. Aptly named. The flowers popped up in a neighborhood garden a couple of weeks ago…too soon; we had more rain and cold weather after I took this photo. Better than seeing a groundhog though. And as of yesterday, I think we may have finally seen hopes of spring’s approach here in Northern California.

Monochrome Monday~Winter Morning

Early December, and the days were cold.

The Sunday Traveler Postcard~The Colors of Paris

Being in Paris at the start of the Christmas season was a wonderful thing; everything just seemed brighter. In spite of the cold and a lot of days being drizzly.

Looking in through shop windows was always a delight.

Passing by doors could light up a gloomy afternoon.

I’ll continue sifting through old photos from that magical week in Paris for next week.

Friday Flower~Resting Rose

A yellow rose in memory of my mom who loved yellow roses above all others. And a rose for all women on this International Women’s Day.
