That photo reminds me of winter...the leaves curled up in a pile by the steps. We had snow flurries here last night and it is raining here today...not a very start to the week! Sigh....
I guess you heard about Whitney Houston? So sad, she had such a beautiful voice and was so young to have died.
Leslie, I so enjoy your daily contributions as they brighten and cheer my everyday life. They also remind me that the pleasures in life are found in the small things.Thank you
Kris, it's sooooo cold here. I've taken to just accepting that I grunt - yes, you read that correctly - I *grunt* as I walk down our little rues. Grunt like a sumo wrestler. Whew! I hope it warms up soon, 'cause it's just not a pretty sight when I have to be outside! Hope it warms up for you, too. And yes, sad about Whitney Houston. A real talent.
BP, I don't know the history on this...dommage. (what a shame) It's a little set of stairs that I pass when I take Bodhi for a romp in the Parc de la Torse. We walk right past it and it happens to be near the caretaker's place at the cemetière St. Pierre...so there must be some history there. I'll see what I can dig up...errr...no pun intended. ;}
gerri, Thank you so much! What a lovely thing to say! I'm so pleased you are here to share these sweet pleasures...the *real* stuff of daily life, non?
“Leslie landed in the lavender and olives of Provence in 2004...fork in hand...” so began La Fourchette in 2006. Fast-forward to this moment...with survival issues managed (every ex-pat knows what I'm talking about!), I return to the original passion that brought me to France: photography.
A quote from Wynn Bullock (20th century photographer) comes to mind as I define myself as a photographer:
"At 42, I decided to become a photographer because it offered a means of creative thought and action. I didn't rationalize this, I just felt it intuitively and followed my intuition, which I have never regretted."
Shortly after I began following my passion and traveling to France to shoot photographs, Façonnable picked them up for their US market. A card line was featured at Nordstrom and small French-themed boutiques throughout the US.
Now, in the golden wash of light that is the south of France, I continue my psychotherapy practice and passion for photography.

Madame LER,
In what year were the stairs built? I would like to have a little history with these pics to help keep things in perspective!!!
