To me, this is the best season to visit Provence….Unfortunately, I can’t go there this year…But, every night, when I lay down on my bed, I smell it thanks to the Lavender Pillow that I’ve got from one of the smallest villages in Provence…. To the memory of my lovely Provence, I initiated a new photo series: Missing Provence. Within that project, every day I will share a photo that I took from my previous trips….to send my regards and love there…to nice people embellishing everything, to lavender soul and to its magic… I miss you Provence… BeNowMeHere, Valensole, Provence, France, 2015 via 500px bit.ly/29acHpj

L'aphyllante de Montpellier (Aphyllanthes monspeliensis), ou œillet bleu de Montpellier est une espèce de plante méditerranéenne.
C'est l'une des plantes les plus caractéristiques des garrigues de la Méditerranée occidentale, où elle fleurit abondamment au printemps, formant des touffes rappelant les joncs. Les fleurs sont bleues, très rarement blanches.
Son parfum est inexistant, son goût est légèrement sucré.
Montpellier leafless (Aphyllanthes monspeliensis), or Montpellier blue carnation, is a species of Mediterranean plant.
It is one of the most characteristic plants of the western Mediterranean scrubland, where it flowers profusely in spring, forming clumps reminiscent of rushes. The flowers are blue, very rarely white.
Its scent is non-existent, its taste is slightly sweet.

Hi, Me again...
In April 2021, I received my first 35mm as a gift from a fellow photography enthusiast. I seriously had no idea what I was doing but I immeditely knew I enjoyed it. The sound alone was enough to give me shivers!! Since then, I have shot a few rolls of film, find myself in possession of 5 new cameras, managed to process 2 rolls at home, 'scan', and now I'm ready to put them out there.
I don't ever profess to be a perfect photographer. If fact, I'm usually incredibly insecure. Digital photography always had me seeking perfection. It is silly because life isn't perfect, but regardless, I feared things like proper exposure and unconventional subjects. (Yes....insert eye roll here!)
The thing about film though, it has given me freedom it be imperfect, appreciate 'flaws' and embrace everyday life in an authentic and unpolished way. Film has given me permission to love the imperfect and see it for all its beauty. Also, the fact that my hands are on it from start to finish....well that... that alone gives me immense satisfaction.
So.....I'm saying be ready for the perfectly imperfect. And just to prove it...I resisted the urge to edit out my chicken pox scars. :-) I'm going to be brave and start sharing what I've been working on and what I love.
Here goes....
