Last week I blogged about the rich blue of the water and the reflections in Nice. This week, I'm sharing with you some other colors.
These photos were taken by my friend Leah when she went to Nice in June. Leah's an artist and I'm sure she'll soon be capturing these colors in her artwork. Here's her Etsy page and her Facebook page.
Here's a shot down the street outside their apartment in Old Town, Vieux Nice.

Don't you just love the array of colors and how they all seem to fit?

But someone always has to step outside the accepted colors, like the owner of this door.

What do you think? Like it or too far from the color scheme?

I wish I had the opportunity to walk the streets and see all of these building. I can't wait to see what you all are dreaming about today.

Maybe we can all satisfy our yearnings for France, until we get there again.
When Tucker went to France with his school class, he took some great pictures. This one was from the bateaux mouches, and he took it as a panoramic. Click on it to make it bigger and you can see how fabulous it looks.

I don't think I have to tell you where he took it.

Saturday Snapshot -- Clouds and Sun

To participate in the Saturday Snapshot meme post a photo that you (or a friend or family member) have taken then leave a direct link to your post on Alyce's blog At Home With Books. Photos can be old or new, and be of any subject as long as they are clean and appropriate for all eyes to see. How much detail you give in the caption is entirely up to you. Please don’t post random photos that you find online.
I couldn't decide which photo to post today. I have a bunch of this scene, looking out over the lake from Mom and Dad's house in Florida. I love the sun shining beneath the clouds.

Hope you are having a sunny weekend.

My youngest son returned home from France Sunday evening, exhausted as he showed me his array of photos.
"Which should I use for my blog?" I asked him.
He chose the one below, which he considered the best picture he took on his trip.

I'm excited to show you some of the others too though, including some panoramic views he took. Maybe next week.
