La Comida Colombiana

La Comida Colombiana

next 2021/12 – Me gusta comer en las panaderías de Colombia. Es muy barato. Acá estoy listo para desayunar con una galleta linda, un tamal y un cafe con leche. Sin embargo, hay algo que no me gusta. Me encanta el queso, pero los Colombianos lo comen mezclado con helado, con frutas o hundido en […]

Playhouse Exploration

Playhouse Exploration

next 2021/11 – I enjoyed visiting Max and Maya’s two-storey playhouse here. I have always admired quirky buildings with character and I have always sought opportunities to explore them. As a child, I sometimes entered abandoned houses, especially out in the countryside. I imagined blending in with all the history of the families that lived […]

Nothing unusual here. But then, from the middle of that flower, the stem continues and there is another flower […]

Number One

Number One

next 2021/06 – Jeannine Pilon April 25, 1936 to June 24, 2021 I am pretty sure that tomorrow, the sun will rise in the East. My mother’s love and support, however, I am completely certain of. To know this and to be able to take this for granted has given me an incredible advantage in […]
