Fats

Blues legend Fats Domino is memorialized on Bourbon Street in New Orleans. Photo taken in May 2008.

I am trying a new look for this blog. That orange was just too much for me. What do you think of this one? Too busy?

Snow in Bussy

This was the view from my old apartment in Bussy Saint Georges. It was a booming ville dortoir and I'm sure that field across the way is built up by now. Snow was not a common sight in the Parisian suburbs, so this was a special day.

Photo taken in March 2005.

Rosie's Cafe

This is the place in Lake Tahoe where I had the best pancakes ever. They were special oatmeal pancakes with a light lingonberry topping and a touch of whipped cream. They were not too sweet - just perfect!

Photo taken in April 2008.

Niagra Falls bridge

I don't know the actual name of this bridge, but it's a nice one! Photo taken in July 2007.

Jamels

An old scanned photo from a trip to Tunisia. I believe it was around March 2001. He called all of his camels "Jamel".

Parc Disneyland

A gray sky over Paris is not an uncommon sight. That's why the Imagineers chose this particular hue of pink for Sleeping Beauty Castle. It looks nice and bright, even against the gray. Photo taken in October 2007.

Lines in the sand

The white sands of the Florida panhandle. This is the color version.

And this is sepia. Which do you prefer? Photo taken in Pensacola in May 2007.

Black Madonna

This is the House of the Black Madonna in Prague. The building is famous for its cubist design. I personally also like the windows which provided a very nice reflection of the sky. Photo taken in July 2006.


Do you like it better in color or black and white?

Spiny lobster

We were lucky to get a great photo of this dude while snorkeling in Key West. Photo taken in May 2010.

Trevarez

Trevarez Castle in Finistere, Bretagne. The red brick structure is not typical of the region, but it's a gorgeous structure. The gardens are also magnificent. Each spring they host an azalea/rhododendron festival - it's spectacular!

Photo taken in June 2000 with an old point-and-shoot and scanned.

Funny sign

Even the bathroom models sport their Aloha-wear proudly in Hawaii! Photo taken in the Honolulu airport, January 2010.

Football fever

Football is as popular in Berlin as in any big European city. These were the crowds heading to see Hertha play in April 2009.

Japanese bridge

The Honolulu airport has a beautiful Japanese garden inside the secure area. It was refreshing to be able to wait for our flight in such beautiful surroundings. I'm not sure that many people knew about this gem of a garden though as it was pretty empty. Just more for us to enjoy! Photo taken in January 2010.

Brille laden

I really liked this optician's shop window. It's like a cross between glasses seller and gallery! Photo taken in Birmingham, Alabama in May 2009.

Unconditional Surrender

The famous statue in San Diego. It really is quite impressive, this photo doesn't exactly give an idea of the scale. Photo taken in February 2009.

Barcelona port

Photo of the port of Barcelona from the cable car. Taken in December 2005.

View from the rental

This is the bridge from San Diego proper over to Coronado island. I took this quickly from the rental car as we were speeding past. There really wasn't a good place to stop for a picture. I think the car window makes for an interesting frame though.

Boardwalk by night

The Disney World boardwalk area reflected in Lake Buena Vista by night. My husband and I will be back in August. My employer is an "official" partner of Disney and I recently won an employee drawing for a Disney Cruise / Resort vacation. I'm really looking forward to it!

Douarnenez 2000

This is an old scanned photo from the Douarnenez 2000 sailing festival in Finitstere, Bretagne. The festival is held every two years and it's wonderful to see all the beautiful sail boats. I was lucky to get some sun reflecting off this one.

Photo taken in July 2000.

A beachy area in Casablanca. My husband and I did a transatlantic cruise for our honeymoon and this was one of the stops.

Photo taken in December 2007.

Photo taken in January 2007.

In Paris they set up a beach on the banks of the Seine during the summer. Rennes tried their own twist on summer fun by setting up chaises longs on the main square for residents and visitors to enjoy!

Photo taken in August 2005.

Acrrobridge

A bridge from a ropes course in the Parisian region. I didn't actually cross this one. It was too scary for me! Photo taken in November 2006.
