I'm having a hard time choosing my favorite photo. I think the pale pink roses, the bicycle, Annie of course (hope she is feeling better) ... and oh, well all of them.

Wow, those are all so beautiful! I think my favorite is the exterior of the buildings. Ah comme la France me manque!

There sure is a lot of eye candy in France. Beautiful Fabric! I wish I could have more beautiful fabric in my home, but with three boys it would be destroyed two seconds upon arriving into my home.

The photo of Annie and the car packed with plants! She looks like she is feeling much better. So many beautiful photos and variations on colors. You have a great eye for photo subjects and composition Corey.

Corey, Just a note to thank you for your broken heart blog. I was able to share Marilyn's answer with someone who needed to be reminded that it is Christ's love that is unchanging. She said it was just what she needed to hear to change her focus. Thanks to Marilyn for sharing, too.
Enjoyed the touch of France today! I MUST make the Cherry Tart!! Patti

Love the photos! I scrolled through them thinking oh pretty, oh-ing and aw-ing them all and then I saw Annie. One would think I knew her personally... I thought.. Oh there's Annie! Cute!!!
Thanks for sharing with us! One day this California girl will get to France. But for now your pics are a wonderful substitute!
