those old windows
I’m a sucker for those tiny little diamond-shaped windows.
In case you were wondering, this church dates to the late 13th century and has both a resident organist AND a “band of bell ringers.” And that’s not all! The last village band in Worcestershire, the Bretforton Silver Band, has strong ties to the church and provides music for special services.

shopping day
It was a sunny, summery day in Paris and the shops were open for business. And there I was, with a camera at the ready…

sometimes repairs seem pointless
I don’t want to disparage what these workers are doing, but given the number of holes in the roof and the way that far wall seems sort of frail makes me wonder if there’s any real need to focus on whatever’s going on in that pit.

night windows
I guess I ought to have wished for a room with a more traditionally scenic view – maybe the river or downtown or whatever. But on the other hand: while this isn’t “scenic” in the traditional sense, I was very fond of the three lighted windows in an otherwise dark building across the street.

NOLA, in the spring
I went to grad school in New Orleans. Trust me on this: the summers are very hot, very humid. Like so humid you can’t even breathe. Like so hot you can’t even move.
As a career-having person, it turns out that I have a lot of conferences in New Orleans, and most of them are in the spring. (See previous paragraph for an explanation.)
Somehow, though, spring in New Orleans seduces me almost every time I’m there. The colors are lovely. The food is delightful. The air feels soft. And Every. Single. Time. I think, “It wouldn’t be so bad to live here.”
Except, you know, not.
