Had a nice little walk in Paris with my boyfriend…
We went to the Luxembourg gardens, absolutely stunning area. We rested there on the grass, it was a beautiful sunny day. Amazing fountains and sculptures in the park. Paris 6th is my favorite arrondissement, whether it’s the buildings, restaurants or galleries, you get the most real Parisian feel there.
I truly love “vintage Paris”. At least, that’s how I call it.
Any place that looks old, and from another time : I’m instantly in love. For example this metro station is unlike most that you’ll come across. First of all, it’s outside… I hate when the metro goes underground. The city is so beautiful, you want to be able to see it while traveling.
And they kept the architecture from the early XXth century, which is so Parisian. If you want to check the area on foot, I highly recommend. It’s Rive Gauche, super chill and safe neighborhoods. Take line 6, and stop at Saint Jacques 😊
These days, being confined at home, I like to take myself on a walk in the woods.
I don’t do it every day, because since it’s winter time we can get some gosh-awful weather. Definitely the worst is the combined winds + rain. Which for me cancels any thoughts of going out.
I have barely mentioned anything regarding my health issues, other than, I need to take some time off to care for myself… I don’t think I’m ready to write about it yet, but basically what I have is chronic. I am learning to live with it, and do the best I can whilst dealing with that. It sure hasn’t been easy but I’m an optimistic, and grateful person.
So, one of the most important thing in my daily life is to walk. Going into the woods gives me such good energy, it recharges me, connects me to the simple enjoyable things, and the importance of life. It also inspires me to look forward no matter what.
The power of Lightroom…
I’m finally starting to master how to use that software, which means it’s giving me life ! I’m clearly still far off from the looks I want to create, but it’s definitely opening up an artistic side to me, which makes me really excited.
Some days I wake up and I see life in color. Sometimes the colors I see are so bright, they don’t even feel real. Sometimes, my mind sees colors that don’t exist… and some days when I wake up, everything’s in shadows. The deepest blacks overcoming whites, until there’s no more. Until it’s all just grey.
