Bonne Fête Maman!!!





Today is mother's day in France. These photos were taken by my grand father when my mum was younger than my son. Isn't she cute?

Si cette inclination pour la photographie n'est que relativement récente pour moi, elle existe depuis longtemps dans la famille. Mon grand père était photographe amateur passionné. Il avait sa propre chambre noire dans sa maison en Bretagne. Il y a un petit quelque chose de Doisneau dans la photo sur les bancs de classe, non?

Bonne Fête Maman! Love, Love, Love!!!!

In the mood...


It has been cloudy and rainy this week, in every way possible. I hope this weekend will be completely different!
And for a start, here is a little song légère et toute mignonette.

No words, just a song.

The end of my street

At the end of my street, there is the sky:


Other streets:


And a bar with funky tables:



More corner views at Jane's

At night




Is there a song you are listening to when you are feeling down? Here is mine.

Un samedi (presque) à la campagne
















When you live in Paris, you never leave the city. So it has been a while since we've been to Marie and Alberto's. We spent some time yesterday with the beautiful family and had the feeling, just a few kilometers from Paris to be in a provincial town: une parenthèse printanière enchantée.

A Châtillon, tout pas loin de Paris, un papa italien, une maman française et 2 adorables petits bouts de femme nous ont acceuilli hier.
Leur maison a plein de recoins merveilleux et une lumière magique...
Marie a commencé à créer des bijoux fantastiques: mélange de matières et d'histoires. Ils sont indescriptibles, mais j'espère qu'elle en fera profiter la blogosphère très bientôt! Et pendant qu'on papotait, Alby a préparé un risotto à tomber: trévise rouge et lanières de mortadelle.
On est parti trop tôt parce que le chemin est long entre chez eux et notre nord est parisien, mais on est parti chargé d'images, de douceur et de saveurs.

Five senses friday





Seeing:
The world through my 50mm lens. It is amazing how photography became so important in my life these last years...

Listening:
To this song: par et pour Sweet Peanut. Je suis retombée dessus par hasard ce matin.

Tasting:
Melon

Smelling:
Melon (of course;))

Feeling:
Impatience, longing for tonight...

Belle Mel





Mel est rock, douce et cash. Bref, je l'adore!
Il est joli ce duo, non? If you are out of France, you can listen to the song here.

Have a wonderful Wednesday night.

Pssst, Marion, this is my kind of crooner;)

Tea for two

Or Coke for two in that instance...





Thank you so much for your amazing comments on our double self portrait! I do cherish that photo very much already. It will be a part of the prints I keep for Solal, that way he will not have to pinch from us his childhood photos like we all did (didn't you?).

A few replies:
Sweet Peanut: je me pose aussi la question... Tu sais que cette photo a été prise au départ pour l'album d'Arthur?
Melski: I think my friends got used to me taking photos all the time... What do you think, guys?
Tracy : your comment is so moving.
La lune : merci! Je pose un filtre sur certaines de mes photos avec le logiciel toy camera.

I love:
-that version of Pink Martini
-our last week here: the recent diptychs blew me away.

Afternoon with friends














And he has a brand new blog. And she has a brand new blog.
Une Emilie (pas celle qu'on croit) dans les écoutilles ce matin: listen....
