This has been a truly difficult year 4 me, on top of the chaos we’re ALL going thru. But there HAVE been joys! For the first time in 5 years, the leaves on my fruitless mulberry trees turned #bright gold be4 the 1st winter storm turned them dead & black & they fell off the trees!

Just recalled (while eating) 2 of my best pix of sidewalk life in Burque’s Nob Hill area. Taken w/one of my fave lenses that I couldn’t afford so I sometimes rented it. W/the Canon EF24-105 f4L IS USM lens, my Rebel took GREAT images! Been thinking of looking 4 a used one!

Paris has all kinds of tempting displays in myriad boutiques filled w/shiny objects. Of course Miss Berra photographed them! I think it’s time to end a week of finding lots of shiny things, re-organizing, cleaning, labeling & describing them, and forgetting to eat! 🤷♀️
HASTA!

I love it when monsoon season rains down on my greenhouse at sunset. I took this photo exactly a year ago at 7 PM. My dad was a wine connoisseur who FILLED the greenhouse w/wine bottles full of water 2 warm it in winter while fruitless mulberries cool it in summer! It works!

This is my current fave rendition of my 2000 France photos. I decided to quit worrying so much about the weird colors & purple shadows & just let it softly emerge. Boats floating between us & the Eiffel w/the domed Ecole des Beaux Artes & its bridge crossing to the Louvre.

A foggy, sunny, blustery, chilly Halloween 2007 day at Lake Annecy in eastern France. The lake sources the River Thiou, which runs thru Annecy, known as The Venice of the Alps. Fortunately, the folks of Annecy enjoy celebrating Halloween! Photos by Miss Berra who loves travel!

Pont Bonaparte over the Saone in Lyon, taken by Miss Berra in 2007, while she attended college there. First built in 1634, it was destroyed & rebuilt CONSTANTLY.
The current version was built in 1950 after it was bombed in WW2. Processing her photos really helps me do mine!

How the French enjoyed summer vacation traveling around their beautiful country in 2000! We saw lots of these! This was at the Chenanceau Castle, which was unfortunately closed when we got there. 😼😼😼
But aren’t those trees great?

Duckies in the lake near Myrhorod, in Central Ukraine, August 2011, by MissBerra. She was visiting a friend near there for several weeks. Her beautiful photos of such a beautiful country both inspire & sadden me. I have NO IDEA if those places and people even exist any more.

My favorite picnic table in Burque at Eunice Kalloch Park via a double exposure using the Argentum App (which I LOVE). It is RIGHT across the street from the house I lived in for 20 years & “walked” my cats there every day. I still hang out there a lot & take weather photos!

Antique Car Show at Manzano del Sol in Burque 2006. My mom lived there for ten years & I photographed EVERYTHING. I made/sold cards, which I mostly did in a more artsy illustration style which prints better on matte paper than regular photos.

Headed for the Louvre on a hot summer day in August 2000. With the bright overhead sun and light filtered through the pyramid, the colors were a beast to manage inn post-processing. We stayed at a hotel on Rue St Honore, an easy walk from the Louvre and other great spots!
