Enjoying Sunshine in France

Y'know, after a rainy start to this month, November has really picked up its pace with beautifully sunny days. The atmosphere is clear and the ever-changing clouds are wispy and fun in this part of Brittany.

Indeed, we ventured out this past week to gather photographic reference material. I'm embarrassed to admit this: I have no idea what these purple flowers are, pictured below. But there are vast fields of them in bloom right now, and they just sparkle on these gorgeous days.

This week also brought a car trip to the far west coast of France, near Crozone, with an overnight stay in Brest. Thereafter, we ventured up north to the Pink Granite Cliffs. The sun joined us en route, and I'm excited about some of the new subjects that I'm discovering.

A bientot!
