Let The Sleeping Bears Lie

Walking through Quimper in Brittany, France one afternoon, camera in hand taking streetscape shots, when we passed a now-defunct shop. Instead of simply covering the huge pieces of glass with paper or whiting it out with paint, the owners created a clever and quite funny window display.

I loved the reflection of the streetscape behind — but you can still clearly see the Papa Bear, Mama Bear, and Baby Bear — all in a permanent state of hibernation — with their heads on pillows. Such a sweet and unexpected surprise.

Rest and Recovery

Breathe in — breathe out — dream of the day when there will be no pain.

That’s where I am right now — a week after our race to the hospital — still on the mend from kidney stones. Ouch!

Thought you might enjoy a picture of something simple — one of the windows on the front of this charming house in France.

Back soon (I hope)!

Photos Of The Day: Play Of Light And Shadow

A play of light and shadow is always guaranteed to please my artist’s eye — and here are two recent views of light streaming through the windows of the the 17th Century Chateau Montgommery in Ducey, a town in Normandy in northern France.
