Fog Advisory

While in New Orleans a couple of weeks ago, the weather was unseasonably warm and I felt as though I had stepped into summer for a few days. As someone who lives in Montreal, this was a great, though brief, relief from frigid temperatures and mounds of snow. So, I wasn't expecting fog. On this particular morning  I was planning on sleeping in to recover from a stupidly early morning flight the previous day. For some reason, I couldn't (internal photographer's fog detector?), so I grabbed my camera bag and was treated to this enchanting vision. 

Spanish Moss

I've been wanting to visit the deep south for quite some time. In particular, I was drawn to and inspired by  the haunting photographs of Sally Mann. When Heather Evans Smith announced that she was organizing a photography workshop in Savannah, I took that as a sign to make the journey. Standing among these magnificent trees was such a powerful experience. They really did take my breath away, dripping as they do with their magic.

Dreams of Cities

There is so much of New York to take in that sometimes one photograph isn't enough.

The Secret Life of Plants

These dog days of winter require a bit of persistence to get through, so I'm conjuring up a bit of spring to remind myself that warmer days full of color are coming. 

Step On Through To The Other Side

Ornate, simple, colorful, inviting, Art Nouveau, rustic ... just some of the beautiful doors I've come across in my travels. 

Windows

I admit to being a bit of a voyeur. I find windows intriguing. Looking into them poses questions about the lives lived behind them. Peering out from them has it's own fascination. By putting a frame around the world, you see it a little differently and perhaps imagine new possibilities. And, well Paris. Now Paris really does have some of the loveliest windows.

Wonderland

Well, it was beginning to look a lot like Christmas the other day. Today, not so much.
