My friend Leah went on what she's calling "The Trip of a Lifetime." Her son graduated from college in May and so they decided to travel to Europe. They began their vacation in Nice then moved on to Arles before heading to Spain then Algiers.
She agreed to let me use her photos for my Dreaming of France meme.
Here's a beautiful shot of the beach.

I'm sure you can tell from this photo that Leah is an artist. I can't wait until she finishes some artwork from her trip. 

Don't you just love this reflection? 

You can see some of Leah's artwork on her Facebook page or her Etsy page. 

Thanks for playing along with Dreaming of France today. I hope you'll visit each other's pages so that you can enjoy more pieces of France. 

Saturday Snapshot -- Full Moon

After driving 16 hours on Wednesday, I pulled into my parents' neighborhood, cruising past a quiet lake, and saw the full moon reflected there.

The lights could be buildings or car along the highway opposite.
Next weekend is the final  high school graduation for my family. I'm expecting it to be hectic, thrilling and fulfillling.
Hope everyone is having a terrific weekend.

Dreaming of France -- The Seine

Maybe we can all satisfy our yearnings for France, until we get there again.

I like this photo with the tufts of grass in the river and the arches of the bridge reflected here. Grace took this photo when she was in Europe, fall of 2011.

Okay, Grace just told me that she took this photo in Rome. It's the Tiber River. I don't deserve to call myself a francophile. 

Instead, here's a photo of my husband and me on a bridge along the Seine in 2010. I know for sure that this is France.

Thanks for playing along today.
