Thursday Doors: Mulhouse Trimmed in Green

For the fourth week, I’m featuring the city of Mulhouse in northeast France. It is an intriguing city, and a perfect place to explore the Alsace Region, taking day trips to other fascinating destinations in France as well as in Germany and Switzerland. Well, here we go.

The Arrows that Guide You

Out for a walk, I came upon a sign I had never seen before. The arrow painted on the sign was prominent, and I followed as it directed. Seeing another one in the distance, I moved toward it. The arrow pointed right. I followed until I came upon yet another sign pointing left. I followed…

One-Liner Wednesday: The Art of Observation

Another photography quote for March… “To me, photography is an art of observation. It’s about finding something interesting in an ordinary place…I’ve found it has little to do with the things you see and everything to do with the way you see them.” Elliott Erwitt (French-American Photographer) For more one-liners, visit One-Liner Wednesday hosted by Linda Hill….

How Shall We Live?

I am pleased to have my short story included in the All Your Stories Anthology March 2026! How Shall We Live? Out of desperation, Jason considered asking for food at the church. The young boy passed through the columns and snuck closer to the front door but found it locked with a sign that read,…

One-Liner Wednesday: Finding that One

“The photographer is like the cod, which lays a million eggs in order that one may be hatched.” George Bernard Shaw In January, the quotes I shared centered on life. In February, they focused on writing. This month, the theme is photography. Later in life, I discovered a love of taking pictures. I sometimes wish…

Dumplings, Chocolate, and the Wind

2026 has settled in and made itself at home. I no longer write “2025” on my dates. It takes me a little while each year to get that right. With the mistral winds here in southern France, stormy weather filled the month. The cold and wet seemed unceasing, but occasionally the sun broke through a…

Thursday Doors: Mulhouse, France

After a month in Central France last summer, my husband and I traveled north and spent a month based in Mulhouse, France, with trips here and there in the region. This week (and for the next few), I’m featuring Mulhouse, a city in the northeast corner of France, on the border with Germany and Switzerland….

Fire in the Distance

How can I leave my home? Do I simply watch it burn from a distance? What is life without my memories; paintings on the wall from places I’ll never visit again, figurines on the mantle from special occasions that will never come back around, photos with no backup.  My daughter keeps calling. I know she’ll…
