French Doors
I am obsessed with the doors in France. I have no idea why; I’m not that interested in them in the US I don’t think. Those and cafe chairs. And that’s probably because we don’t even have many (or really any) of those. But the doors, I don’t know. I remember being fascinated by them…

Seaside in Bretagne
We visited the coast twice this trip. The first time, we picnicked at a beautiful spot that we had not been before, and then on another day, we walked GR34 again; same section, still as beautiful. The picnic day was pretty cool, but it still was so nice eating our baguettes with prosciutto and cheese,…

Quimper, France
The last of the Brittany cities we visited, but it’s a favorite. And SO MANY creperies! But we enjoyed walking around, visiting the Quimper Cathedral. So many old (like 1400s to 1800s) saints, I guess, there. Also we stumbled across a tropical botanical garden, Jardin exotique de la Retraite right in downtown Quimper. Very interesting…

Lorient, France
We went to Lorient this trip so it was our first time there. It was a typical city but had a nice waterfront area where we walked and came across le Tour de la Découverte, a lighthouse that was reconstructed between 1785-1786. While we were walking by, a man was playing bagpipes outside of it;…

France Feb/Mar 2026
Way too many photos to post all of the ones I like, but it’s been fun going through them all. I just love it in this area. There’s so much green, you have coastline, nice smaller cities, and spring is definitely springing there now. I think I will have to make several posts over the…

Cafes and Chairs
I really love the look of the cafe chairs in France, apparently, because I took a lot of photos of them. I like the repetition and patterns I think. And there are plenty of them to choose from! All images taken with my Fujifilm X100VI.

Bretagne, France
We took a weeklong trip to Pont-Aven, France in Bretagne. I loved it there so much and I took so many pictures. Way too many to post here, but I’ll try to make it reasonable. I just really felt connected, engaged and inspired there. I have some themed photos that I’ll post later, but for…

Resurrecting this Blog
Because I don’t know what else to do with all of these photos. And hoping it’ll become a habit and not something I do for a day or two and forget. So here are some photos from our trip to Ohio for GOBA (Great Ohio Bicycle Adventure): And some from RAGBRAI. This was our 7th.…
