"Under the sky of Paris, lalala" .... that's it, I ramble.
Well yes, in this case, we are under the sky of Rouen! This Normandy sky that I adore - to each one his addictions - and, I enjoy photographing it .
It is different every day, adorns itself with sublime colors, transforms the landscape according to the seasons.
The sky is an ephemeral painting every day and capturing its palette is a real pleasure. They are moments, our sky is so playful that it changes quickly, in perpetual motion.
I am lucky to have from my window a view of the tip of the Cathedral and, the Butter Tower to my left and, opposite, the sunrise.
Thanks to, or because of my insomnia, I prepare myself with delight in the morning at daybreak, wondering what spectacle the sky will offer me. I am rarely disappointed.
I also like clouds, a thing from the time when I was a little girl and the internet didn't exist then. We took more time to watch (be careful, I'm not saying it was better, it was just different)
I loved lying on the grass and, watching the shapes of the clouds, I saw characters, animals, quite a spectacle.
The contemplation....

A game of hide-and-seek that I'm not the master of

Dazzled by its light, I see it blurred

"Morning colors"
April 6, 2019, I stand at the window to see the day break.
I don't like anything as much as the palette of colors offered by nature at this precise moment, the speed with which the sky is painted with bright colors to fade in pastels. What a pleasure to also hear the birds waking up to the rhythm of the sun! I love to see them dance in the sky, blend in with the colors. It's magic, especially when this little multi-talented bird comes to sing on the roof, I don't know his name but it calms me down, makes me happy. It is an orchestra on its own!
I understand that artists are inspired by nature, it offers so many beautiful things.
This morning, I was offered a concert and a painting lesson ... the announcement of a beautiful day.
