The other day when visiting a vide-grenier with my sister, we bumped into these giant papavers in one of the community gardens. I was tempted to bring them home, but she insisted on only taking their picture. So I did. Always listen to your little sister, right? In the past months I photographed quite a Read article…

Urban Jungle Bloggers #8
For the eight time today, Igor and I are throwing a little green party. Or at least that's what our monthy Urban Jungle Bloggers challenge feels like to me.

Green Balconies in Milan
When strolling down the streets of Milan, I was pleasantly surprised by the omnipresence of greens! Of course the upcoming Urban Jungle Bloggers topic was in the back of my head: balconies & window sills, so I guess I was a little obsessed… So if you're looking for some last minute inspiration, look no further Read article…

Happy Easter! I wish you all a sunny and cosy Sunday with your loved ones. I know I'll be eating an extra egg today (without cactus of course) 😉

But when you live in Paris and want Read article…

Sunday blossom
By now it's a tradition: our sunday walk. Last weekend we went to see the sea, yesterday we walked closer to home, between Senlis and Crépy-en-Valois. Certainly not the prettiest area in the Oise, but when the sun is shining and the company is pleasant, the location doesn't really matter. In the sunlight, filtered by Read article…
