i get by with a little help from my friends
bon saturday nuit guys. we just got back from catching the sunset and twilight is falling as scheduled, so we’ve got that going for us. dinner at home and he’s cooking, i’m in charge of dessert.
i’m staying in after shirking my responsibilities for a couple fun days with liz. i thought you’d like a tour of her cute townhouse. it inspired me to practice with my new camera.
the juliet balcony off her bedroom.
we didn’t style anything so it’s not perfect. i thought it looked great as it was.
her dad’s desk
and downstairs, the florida room
leads to the deck on the waterway. see how we didn’t even pull the chair back? lazy!
this is another of the long shot/close shots i’ve been playing with:
anyway, dinner’s ready. hope your night’s just getting started!
bon weekend!

It is the photographer. A camera only captures something when it is operated by a photographer and a photographer captures what is in his/her mind’s eye.

Great townhouse! That photo with the dog on the floor opposite the bearskin rug is so funny. The dog looks like a mirror image of the rug!

Love the desk, love the tile in the Florida room, and LOVE picture # 10. The house, with the swampy feel of the trees and the somewhat beat-up dock are great subjects. Good picture-taking!

Liz’ home is so chic and comfy. The view out to the waterway is gorgeous, including that larger than life Budda head. Claudia I’ve been m.i.a. for quite a while but wanted to catch-up and wish you well. xx

This is a timely post — I was wondering if the yellow of their cinder block fence works with terracotta tile, and it most certainly does! Life on a canal looks fabulous.

I’m mad about the daybed, can you tell me what it is whether it be a reproduction piece or original (it’s hard to tell in the pictures. I’m guess possibly Balinese or similar. Nevertheless great pictures.

Hello Claudia
Another lovely post, as I would expect from YOU!!
You must tell us all about your new camera, as ONE day I hope to update my limiting digital.
Lovely apartment and setting.
Never mind the balcony – I LOVE the DOORS. I’m a door girl and photograph them wherever I happen to be.
Take care
