One reason I love your blog is that the quality of your images and the stories you tell are so wonderful. The other reason is WHAT you photograph -- you always "see" such wonderful things - and I love seeing the world through your eyes.

This reminds me a little of Barcelona. That first picture is so beautiful, the indigo of the sky is amazing. Your pictures just are a treat to see.

I have so many dream travel destinations, but Provence is probably the top one.

The photos are indeed beautiful, the lead-off one especially so! I would love to walk along a street where a violinist plays ...
