365 Days of Self Portraits: Days 1-14

Ages ago I decided to try a 365 Days project where you take a photo a day for 365 days, and it didn’t last long.  Then in 2011 I tried it again and lasted over 100 days.  I’ve decided to try it again this year, but with a twist!  I may be insane but I’ve decided to try doing 365 …

Dragonfly Photobomb

This morning I was sitting on our front balcony having my coffee and decided to take a photo of the beautiful sky for Instagram (You can find me here on Statigram). It was only after I had uploaded the photo that I realized it was photobombed by a passing dragonfly. I love weird little coincidences like that.

I Heart Instagram

If you aren’t aware already, Instagram has recently become available for Android!  I love it! It’s weird though, because when it was only for iphone users and I’d see people uploading Instagram photos I’d be like “Meh, I don’t see what the appeal is with this, the photos look weird and why not just use their normal mobile camera??”.  I …

(The following photos …

Holiday Destination Review: Pic du Midi

One of the main reasons we chose the Pyrenees as our little side trip while in the south of France was because I’d seen the Pic du Midi online.  Once I saw it, I knew that’s where I wanted to go, and thankfully Xander wasn’t at all bothered and was happy to let me choose the location.  We specifically chose …

Hey, There’s a Waterfall!

The day after our search for the waterfall in the Estaing valley, we were driving through the mountains and randomly found a waterfall along the side of the road.  We pulled over so that we could get out and have a look at it and take some photos, figuring it would take away some of the sting of disappointment from …

Where’s That Damn Waterfall?!

I mentioned in my post about our visit to Lac d’Estaing that Xander and I had a bit of an adventure looking for some waterfalls.  Now that some time has passed I can see it for the funny thing that it is and can tell the story with much less swearing. While we were at the lake, we stopped to …

Lac d’Estaing

The second day that we were in the Pyrenees we went to the end of the Estaing valley to check out the lake. Apparently it’s a pretty popular area for hikers and it was not far from our campground so we thought we’d start the day off there.  It was breathtaking! I so wanted to go on a trail ride …
