One of the many things that I enjoy about living in France, is the constant surprise that seems to be waiting around every corner.
It never fails.
A stone wall, or the changing colors of the seasons, a lace curtain in an old window, a chimney sweep, tiled roofs, baguettes stacked in a basket on a baker's rack… things that are a given in France, that live on and on, and yet never dull my senses.
Instead a constant surprise, or awe, wonder! Beauty to capture.
Today a massive stone wall with three impressive stain glass windows appeared.
Why hadn't I ever walked behind the church before?
Stone mason what a story you left behind:
"Make it last, make it beautifully strong."
The story, the history, often without words, often without fanfare. Simple, steadfast, strong, forever giving.
The awe factor waiting around the corner:
Cobblestones, wooden shutters, ironstone cup and saucer waiting on a sturdy iron base bistro table… no paper cup of coffee on the go.
The everyday wonder that I am so grateful to call home.
