All the fruit trees are adorned with fragile flowers that the feverish bees rush to pollinate...

What is my favorite photo? The one I will take tomorrow. Imogen Cunningham, American photographer, 1883-1976
The flowers in my garden love and court each other, accept their neighbors whom they naturalize; propagate in abundance, experiencing no discomfort, season after season.
Nature
One hour for the Planet, that's what I gave to our friend Nature to preserve it!
So here are the long days, light, love, delirium! Here is spring! March, April with its sweet smile, flowery May, burning June, all the beautiful months friends!
Walks
Why would you give up the thrill of the unexpected, the surprise of discovery? I hung my brain on the coat rack and then went out and took the perfect walk.
The garden is nestled on a former granite quarry at an altitude of 650 m. Tons of earth and patient work have allowed several thousand perennials, bulbs and plant rarities to be planted in a succession of very different atmospheres, while maintaining a link with the enchanting environment of the Vosges forest.

Urban walks
As the years go by, each neighborhood, each street in a city, evokes a memory, an encounter, a sorrow, a moment of happiness. Patrick Modiano
Paris has no beauty except in its history, but this history is so beautiful! Paris has no gaiety except in its patter, but this patter, although rather filthy, it goes around the languages of the world, salting a little this too insipid stew. […] » Excerpt from the poem Paris by Paul Verlaine (1893)
Alsatian and European capital with a thousand-year-old charm, listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, Strasbourg has also been labeled a City of Art and History since 2013.

Our heritage from the past

About
Those who never laugh are not serious people. Alphonse Allais (but this quote is also attributed to Mozart)
Je ne suis pas une photographe professionnelle, mais j'aime la photographie !
La retraite étant là, j'ai décidé de m'accorder ce plaisir de photographier. Tous les univers m'intéressent. Ma photothèque vous fera découvrir mes clichés favoris. Soyez indulgents, je n’en suis qu’aux balbutiements de cette passion mise en pratique tardivement.
Lorsque je photographie, je rentre dans un monde serein rempli d'émotions, de beauté, et d'instants heureux. C'est pourquoi, maintenant que j'ai enfin le temps d'apprécier ces jolis moments, je ne veux surtout plus m'en priver.
Pour conclure, j'ai toujours aimé voyager, et l'envie de bouger reste intacte. Mes projets de faire de nouvelles découvertes ne sont jamais très loin. Alors dès que les occasions me seront données, et, si vous êtes intéressé(e)s, je serai heureuse de partager avec vous tous mes souvenirs photographiques.
Je reste active, revenez me voir aussi souvent que vous le souhaitez.
A bientôt.
