Spring weather kind of day


Our family took it’s usually Sunday stroll, yesterday.
The weather was like spring. We had to take our coats off as we walked. The warmth of the sun thawed away our winter blues. I have loved winter here in the Jura but am ready for warmer weather.
I miss walking every day. With [...]

Photohunt: Wooden


I took the photos below during the summer in Saignelégier (link is to city’s official website in English). I fell in love with these wooden shutters the moment I laid eyes on them.

Video of boat coming into dock

Three of my favorite photos from Lausanne this past Saturday.

The couple in the photo were quietly sitting while they ate and drank wine together with an incredible view spread out in front of them. It was so romantic. Just like out of a movie.

We saw many people sitting together or alone watching the [...]

Beauty sleep


The Baitchai didn’t keep me up all night.
I heard them begin at 10 p.m. sharp. I went to bed soon after. I wasn’t woken up until at around 5:30 a.m. as they walked down our street.

My Swiss Jura under the snow

We have Internet, a new memory card for one of the [...]

Berne (Bern), Switzerland photos

The Swiss Alps are all [...]
