The Chester Roberts Park is very small and it can only accommodate a few vehicles in its parking lot, Nevertheless, it affords a beautiful view of the Peace River. The park is situated along the shoreline in Port Charlotte, Florida, next to the bridge carrying Hwy. 41 traffic between Port Charlotte and Punta Gorda.

Between Christmas 2022 and New Year's Eve we were in Naples/Italy. This anti-minimalist, but all the more documentary picture bears witness to that. Now that I'm mainly in Italy again, the publication fits.

Hello my amazing friends !

Another day, another bench to sit on. Those composite pictures are a completely new experience and obsession for me. I hope you like it as much as I do !!! This one is a melancholic bench to sit on and reflect on the last year … or just to watch the universe and think about the future… or the present. Or maybe this is bench for singles to sit on and wait for love ? Who knows ? All we can say is: there is a bench on a pencil with a red ballon floating in mid air and a lamp post. But it is way less romantic than a waiting for love bench…

Mucho, mucho amor for you all !!

Hello my amazing friends !

I’m not a happy camper at all…Today, we will have our first snow of the season 22-23, in Montreal. And, if you know me (or even if you don’t know me but you follow me for at least one year), you probably well aware of the fact that I absolute hate winter… Which is ironic since I live in Canada. I feel like the giraffe in my picture: completely out of place today and in urgent need of a bottle of white wine (yes, I know it is not even 9am…). Yesterday, they announced between 10-15 cm of snow, we will see in the morning if the weather forecast was right …Just for the record: I’m totally not at peace with idea of snow in November and I’m not at peace with the idea of Christmas trees in November either !!! Why ??? It is way too early !!! I barely got enough of fall and it is already winter…That is the irony of my life people.

Mucho, mucho amor for you all !!

Great Crested Grebe - Podiceps Cristatus

The great crested grebe has an elaborate mating display. Like all grebes, it nests on the water's edge, since its legs are set relatively far back and it is thus unable to walk very well. Usually two eggs are laid, and the fluffy, striped young grebes are often carried on the adult's back. In a clutch of two or more hatchlings, male and female grebes will each identify their 'favourites', which they alone will care for and teach

Unusually, young grebes are capable of swimming and diving almost at hatching. The adults teach these skills to their young by carrying them on their back and diving, leaving the chicks to float on the surface; they then re-emerge a few feet away so that the chicks may swim back onto them.

The great crested grebe feeds mainly on fish, but also small crustaceans, insects small frogs and newts.

This species was hunted almost to extinction in the United Kingdom in the 19th century for its head plumes, which were used to decorate hats and ladies' undergarments. The Royal Society for the Protection of Birds was set up to help protect this species, which is again a common sight.

The great crested grebe and its behaviour was the subject of one of the landmark publications in avian ethology: Julian Huxley's 1914 paper on The Courtship‐habits of the Great Crested Grebe (Podiceps cristatus).

Population:

UK breeding:

4,600 pairs

UK wintering:

19,000 individuals

Hello my amazing friends !

This weekend was truly very busy for my husband since he did some major work on our house. We almost finished a huge renovation project and this weekend we had some awesome developments in the decoration department (which is my favourite one so far in the whole process). Our house starts to look more and more like a home and more and more like us (which is truly awesome !). Today, I just found this awesome and very beautiful bar cart from the 1950 and I truly hope I will be able to get myself an early Christmas present… Not only it will be perfect to push (yes it has wheels !!) all my wine bottles around the house but also it will add a truly unique accent to our decor…Wish me luck !!!

Mucho, mucho amor for you all !!

Hello my amazing friends !

Another Sunday, another hungover. Yes my friends, I had an awesome time with my parents and my husband yesterday. We had some (lots of …) wine, changed the world and discussed some major problems like social medias, renovations, fashion, jewellery and cosmetics (the last 3 topics were for my Mom and I). We voluntarily avoided snow and politics LOL. Today my head hurts a little bit and I only have an old picture to publish but it doesn't mean that I will not run on my treadmill ! No matter what : I will run… maybe in zigzags and at a rather slow pace but I will do it ! Wish me luck ….

Mucho, mucho amor for you all !!

Hello my amazing friends !

Today we have another moon picture just in case… I sure don’t want to run out of full moon pictures on this feed for sure ! Would you be able to live in this tiny house, without internet, social media, phones or TV for 3 months or not ? In my case : it is a YES ! But I just hope I would be able to bring my camera...and my husband...and my sons...and my parents...and my sister ...and well all my family and friends !!!

Mucho, mucho amor for you all !! See you later my friends !!

Hello my amazing friends !

Home sweet home… Once again, this weekend, we did some work on our house. We are all still sick so nothing major was done but each time we are closer and closer to the finish line. This project clearly showed us that home is where the heart is. I know for a fact that without my husband, sons and our parents this project would never be possible. So no matter where this house will end up, it will always be my home as long as I’m with my family. And just for your information: our Christmas tree is up and shining bright like a diamond (I know it is late but it is still in time for Christmas...).

Mucho, mucho amor for you all !!

Hello my amazing friends !

Today Major Tom is waiting for a very, very important call. He is about to reconnect with his past and some very good childhood friends. He doesn’t want to miss this call so that is why he has his phone near while doing his astronaut’s stuff on the moon. There is also a very red and large phone booth, just few steps away… Of course, he has to use the old ladder to get to it, but even with his astronaut suit he is very, very fast. He completed the astronauts training after all, and there was a special section « ladder climbing for dummies and astronauts » so I’m sure he will be able to answer the phone in time !

Mucho, mucho amor for you all !! See you later !!

Hello my amazing friends !

It is Monday, everything is back to normal in my case… And Mr. Flamingo is back for his first snow experience. Of course, he loved it ! When you see the beautiful Canadian winter and the snow for the first time you are truly flabbergasted. But then you realize that the snow will stay for a very, very long time … So after few years of Canadian winters you realize that you don’t like the snow as much as you thought the first time… Also, I don’t think the love relation towards snow will last in Mr. Flamingo case: apparently he doesn’t have any winter boots (which are mandatory when you want to spend winter in Canada)…Next time I will have to use some Photoshop magic and give him some winter boots or even a hat, unfortunately it was too late for that today...

Mucho, mucho amor for you all !!

Hello my amazing friends !

Who else hates waiting for a bus when it is cold and late outside ? Well apparently Little Prince don’t mind but he is a very positive person for sure. In my case: I prefer walking for hours, during a snowstorm, wearing my most uncomfortable shoes (why do I think about stilettos ???), than waiting for a bus. Of course sometimes, I will arrive much, much later than the bus but at least I didn’t spend a minute waiting near a bus stop doing nothing… Let’s just hope that Little Prince will not have to wait for very long and that the bus will be on time…

FYI: it has been ages since I took a bus, so this picture isn't inspired by my personal experience....and by the way, I hate driving almost as much as I hate waiting for a bus....

Mucho, mucho amor for you all !!

Hello my amazing friends !

Today we have my first attempt at generating an AI picture. Of course, since it is a very « futuristic » and sci-fi concept for me, I asked Major Tom for help…As you might know, I love eggs and so do Major Tom, that is why we decided to go with an egg, as our first attempt…Floating egg, on a space background. Don’t ask me, why I got 2 eggs in my picture (it is a learning process yet…), but that is what I will eat this morning. What do you think about AI art ? In my opinion, it is still art but who knows, maybe I’m wrong…

Mucho, mucho amor for you all !! See you later !!
