It's one of these natural phenomenons of early springtime here in France: the ground in the forests around our home get covered in wild narcissus and anemone nemorosa. In almost thirteen years I never actually went to see it up close. So yesterday was the day for a little lunch break on the floral carpet Read article…

Running with flowers
Life is busy around here. I constantly have the feeling that I'm running behind, my daily to-do-list is rarely ever entirely checked off at night, and I haven't felt that precious Inbox-Zero feeling in a long time. Besides dreaming of a roadtrip, my regular runs around the neighborhood keep me from going insane. And now Read article…
United colors of Charlie
There was something in the air this Sunday. No pun intended, it was not only the airplane from which I took these pictures 😉 After last week's tragic events in France, the massive amount of people that joined the unity rallies in Paris and throughout the world, made me hopeful. I was in Nice this Read article…
My favorite flowers of 2014
Last year's discovery of having colorful flowers at home continued in 2014. And even though my love for plants is stronger, I love these: A flower tribute to our dear flowergirl Inga /// Gorgeous Helleborus for my mom I froze some Indian cress flowers /// Blossom on our Sunday walk Ohhh the perfumes of Wisteria… Read article…
My favorite jungles of 2014
It's one of the best things of blogging: the archives! 2014 was very intense and it's so much fun to look back at the many things I did, saw, experienced. One of the happiest projects was Urban Jungle Bloggers. Our green community grew bigger and bigger, Igor and I hosted our first UJB event and Read article…
A glorious Saturday walk
Last week was so dark, with short grey days and I spent a little too much time in front of the screen. On Saturday I couldn't wait to get out of the house, so we went on an early Sunday walk and it was just glorious. Fresh and sunny: I loved it so much. We Read article…
Flowers for Inga
One things that I love most about blogging is getting to know all kinds of new people. Creative folks you follow from afar, people that make things happen, like-minded people that sometimes turn into new friends… And when someone who made things that you loved happen disappears, it's so so sad. Last week I found Read article…
Jardin des Serres d’Auteuil in Paris
Yes, I'm done editing some of the 250 photos I took at the Jardin botanique des Serres d'Auteuil. Botanic gardens make me so extremely happy, especially if they include palm trees, cactus plants and succulents, that it always results in too many pictures 😉 This garden in Paris has been on my must-visit list for Read article…
Molitor rooftop garden in Paris
Last week my day started with a visit of the new garden and roof bar of the iconic Piscine Molitor. Well it's not "just" a swimming pool, but you can sleep, dine and workout here too. This spring Molitor, built in 1929, finally reopened its doors after 25 years. When Molitor closed in 1989, it Read article…
September means maize
Remember how I told you I loved working this summer while everyone seemed to be on holiday? Well, people are back and it's very busy/. Back to school (or work) means that soon the maize will be harvested. As a teenager I biked past these same kind of maize fields every day to go to Read article…
