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;…

Concarneau, France
We really enjoy visiting Concarneau. It is a city with two distinct areas, and also with a lot of interesting things. I’m sure we just scratched the surface but we visited the Ville Close, which is a walled town on an island in the centre of the harbor. This area was a shipbuilding area and…

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…

More Pugs with Nikon Z 50 1.8
After the pug pictures with the old 50mm 1.4 AFD lens, which made me actually feel things, I decided I want to do more of that, but with a lens that I can actually use the autofocus with. So on Sunday, I got out my Nikon 50mm 1.8 Z lens, which has just been sitting…

Fun Little Lens: Nikon 50 1.4 AFD
My 52 Frames challenge this week was Shallow Depth of Field, and extra credit was use 1.4 aperture. Well, this one was one of my favorites! I fell in love with shallow DOF back when I first started really getting into photography, about 25 years ago. (How is that even possible?) I don’t have any…

The Last Couple of Weeks
I have not been really inspired to take photos the last few weeks. It’s winter in Georgia and that means everything is brown and gray. Also it has been really, really cold here. So, I’ve been riding my bike indoors, staying in as much as possible. I’m not much of a cold weather person, though…

Lately
I’ve been taking photos lately but the holidays have kept me busy. Now that we’re past all that, I had a minute to post something. One really cool thing that happened was one of my photos got selected for the 52 Picks album on 52 Frames, where I’ve been submitting photos weekly for 23 weeks…
