On Thursday of last week, September 26, 2019, I celebrated my 3-month anniversary since my second knee surgery and walked 3.5 miles, going along a route that I walked before both of my knee surgeries (the first terrible surgery was exactly one year ago – September 27, 2018 – Ugh! I did not know ifContinue reading “THREE-MONTH SEATREK PHOTOSHOOT”

UP THE HILL!
The Park. The Monastery. The garden. The ancient city. It is all there – up the hill from my house. A mere bus ride away. In the park, there is a track that circles it. Runner, walkers, bicyclists, all use the track. And, in doing so, they pass the remains of the ancient Roman city ofContinue reading “UP THE HILL!”
CARNAVAL DE NICE
This is my 4th February in Nice, and I STILL have not gone to a Carnaval Parade. Why, you ask? …Well, it could be because I don’t like events with crowds. Never did – except for the GHS football games. But, rock concerts and such, no. I liked to go to the Hollywood Bowl. ThatContinue reading “CARNAVAL DE NICE”

This shows live on my Post. If yours does not show live, then please cut and paste this link. Sorry. It was live when I published it. Don’t know what happened.

A MEMORY IN MARSEILLE – JUNE 9, 2016
On June 8, 2016, Steve and I drove to Marseille to spend the night so that we would be in town early the next morning to meet his Auntie Gloria and cousin, Erica. They were passing through Marseille on a Carnival Cruise, and we all wanted to spend time together for a day. WeContinue reading “A MEMORY IN MARSEILLE – JUNE 9, 2016”
A HAPPENING…….
When I leave in the mornings to go for my walks, I never know if I will be inspired to shoot photographs or not. Since I consider myself a “photographer” of sorts – with a fan base (haha), I have an obligation to get shots that I think are good. AND, I am very criticalContinue reading “A HAPPENING…….”
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”
