Delicious…En Provence
It was a very windy, sparkling clear day, on the cliffs overlooking Villfranche sur Mer, when we stopped into the lounge for a sip. As we sat by the tall arching windows atop Eze Village at Le Cevre d’Or, we ordered our wine and… Continue Reading “Delicious…En Provence”
Photo Friday: Frozen…Seasons on Ice
It is late August, as I languorously sip my morning coffee on the bedroom porch, noticing the slightly nippy breeze that foretells the fast-approaching end of summer. I ponder how best to respond to this week’s Photo Friday prompt, “FROZEN“, and realize that the… Continue Reading “Photo Friday: Frozen…Seasons on Ice”
Photo Friday: On The Road: “Color me…Blend”
👣👣👣 A Disney World Denizen epitomizes being “On The Road”, as he joins his fellow Chameleons, darting here, there and everywhere, and always blending into the environs, as if by magic. They remind us, amid the excited squeals of the kiddies, that our home… Continue Reading “Photo Friday: On The Road: “Color me…Blend””
Photo Friday: First Light
Each morning, the sun rises over the distant trees lining the shores of Bay Lake, to cast its long shadows across the still waters of the Seven Seas Lagoon.

Photo Friday: What I Found…
What I found…. …I found that our Polynesian Village is most serene and beautiful just after a downpour, when the lush walkways glisten with tempting puddles, the blue sky is nudging the clouds away, and the air is filled with energizing negative… Continue Reading “Photo Friday: What I Found…”
Photo Friday: Body of Water
The Mediterranean Sea glistened in the early morning sun, as our flight from Geneva tipped its wing low in preparation for our approach to Nice. Â Later, Â when this photograph was taken, we were perched on our terrace at the hilltop, Eze Village, viewing the… Continue Reading “Photo Friday: Body of Water”
Photo Friday: Shades of Gray
“Shades of Gray” seemed a perfect theme to capture my mixed emotions as I tentatively stooped to pick this shell from the wave-washed beach at Ponte Vedra last March. It was my first ‘walk’ in the sand after three months of recuperation from a… Continue Reading “Photo Friday: Shades of Gray”
Photo Friday: Metropolis
This photo was taken from our balcony at the l’Hotel de la Paix one gray morning in Geneva, at the peak of rush hour. Â Not even the din rising from the city’s traffic-clogged arteries could diminish the impact of the Cathedral steeple in the… Continue Reading “Photo Friday: Metropolis”
