RAMBLING….

Oftentimes, I don’t know what to write when it comes time for my weekly Jayspeak post. Today is one of those days. It has been a difficult two years for me since Steve died. I have succeeded in putting on a brave face and taken steps to rebuild a life in a country that isContinue reading “RAMBLING….”

JUST WONDERING……..

Often, from time to time, I read something that I save for no good reason. Somehow, it speaks to me. Not too long ago, I read this – probably on Facebook, and it spoke to me. Today, I want to share it with you. I want to thank the author – Author Unknown – forContinue reading “JUST WONDERING……..”

AUGUST 2017

Nothing is quite like the month of August. Someone should write a song – like Gilbert and Sullivan. Something like “It’s May. It’s May. The Lusty Month of May!” ALL of France goes on “holiday”. The rest of the world comes to town – to eat, to swim, to sunbathe, to dance, to sight-see. TouristContinue reading “AUGUST 2017”

THE BEACH AND ME

This week, I went to the beach in Nice. That is a big deal. It only took me TWO YEARS!! Well, that is not true. Steve and I walked along the Promenade almost every Sunday and sometimes more. I walk to the Sea on my Sea-trek’s. I went swimming in the Sea while Steve andContinue reading “THE BEACH AND ME”

“CAPTURING BEAUTY”

Today, when I was walking home from Monoprix (my local supermarket), I decided to check out the roses in Le Jardin du Monastère de Cimiez. The last time I looked, the buds were in process. Lo and behold, beautiful roses were everywhere! Here are a few of my favorites. Stay tuned. FOR SALE ONContinue reading ““CAPTURING BEAUTY””

UPDATE – Les Alliances françaises’ Photography Contest

In February 2017, (as the followers of Jayspeakblog know), I entered an International Photography Contest, “Three Cities, Three Carnivals”, sponsored by my “school” in Nice – Alliance françaises with Les Alliances françaises de Venice and Rio. The contest took place between February 11 and March 10, 2017. Participants from each of Les Alliances françaises wereContinue reading “UPDATE – Les Alliances françaises’ Photography Contest”

JARDIN du Monastère de Cimiez

This morning, after my walk and café in the park, I decided to go into my place of serenity and peace – the Jardin du Monastere de Cimiez – with the specific purpose of taking pictures to post on Jayspeak. So, I did. Now, as I have said before, up on the hill of CimiezContinue reading “JARDIN du Monastère de Cimiez”
