Weekly challenge: the word through my eyes

Weekly Photo Challenge: The World Through Your Eyes
http://dailypost.wordpress.com/2013/06/21/world-through-your-eyes/

The world is wide, and I love to watch all the little details it hides to those not paying attention.

At least, I try…

I love to watch and find atmosphere, architecture, emotion in people, life scene, the light and the treasure it reveals.

Here’s what this challenge inspires me:

Hope you enjoy looking through my eyes.

This theater is in Lyon, France, it was a very sunny day, and it was beautiful watching children playing with water under the eyes of their parents.

On my way to Lyon, the navigation system took me out of the highway, as it was jammed, I crossed burgundy’s ( Bourgogne ) small villages… I could not resist taking a picture of the vineyards.

The sun going down on Lyon and the Rhone

Flowers I saw in the mountains ( Lus la Croix haute) I wanted to show the small dots in the blue ( beautiful ) of the flower’s petals. I had to put my knees on the ground and lean to take the pictures, as you could not pick the flower as it is protected and rare.

Love and music at the killers ‘ concert some weeks ago! http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Killers

Lets not forget that today is the first day of summer! Here and in France it s the music celebration! Free Concerts are everywhere on the streets.
Kids are in bed, and we hear music from the open window…
Happiness and ” legerté” ( lightness) is coming though our window on the wing of the wind…

Let this day bring us all health and happiness, may the world find peace and light! It is a very utopist sentence, but it s how I feel tonight… Full of hope… After all we can all make miracles, it s only a matter of will and patience…

…..And a special happy birthday to my friend L., who s surely happy sharing this days with her kids ( they drove all night long despite storm and road work from London to Luxembourg to be with their mother! ) far in distance but close in the heart and mind… Like my family… Living far from each other makes traveling a way of life….

About Hopeje

It’s all about love, life, and the pursuit of happiness. I’m a French-American woman from Paris — born with a suitcase in hand and a heart open to adventure. I’ve always been drawn to the vibrant energy of New York and Miami, visiting every year for a few weeks to recharge on their rhythm, sunshine, and sense of freedom. Who would have thought that life would take me to Luxembourg — where I would find, lose, and find myself again? There, I met the love of my life, built a family with three wonderful children, and traveled… endlessly. (Let’s not forget our loyal dog, who became part of our journey in 2013, and our second furry companion who joined us nearly three years ago!) From Paris to New York, Luxembourg to Miami — traveling has become our middle name. What I love most is discovering the poetry and energy of life wherever I go: architecture, people, customs, places, and the unique atmosphere that makes each encounter unforgettable. Life is a story of movement, emotion, and discovery. Let’s keep exploring, dreaming, and savoring every moment. PS: All content on this blog is shared with pleasure — but it is not free of rights.

    I love how you capture both big moments like concerts and small details like flowers.
