Now for a winner: congratulations, Bridget! I will contact you for your details. I hope you will enjoy your new book.
I have a few vacation photos to share with you. I am not a very good traveler, and I always forget to take pictures. Can you guess where I was? One of my favourite things about traveling is how the air smells differently in different parts of the world. Here it smelled like cedar and rosemary, like sugar and anise. Food tasted better, too, I thought. These things can't be captured in a photograph.
(This is my favourite picture from the whole trip)
Lisbon story!
ReplyDeleteportugal or brazil. i'm guessing portugal

ReplyDeleteWelcome back! My guess is Portugal - and from those amazing pictures, it looks like you had a beautiful time!
ReplyDeleteOh, you came to Lisbon! :)
ReplyDeleteYou were lucky to get the nice weather, Autumn just arrived!
i want to live in the building in the seventh photo from the top!!
ReplyDeleteLisbon! Touching base with your heritage, I see. :)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful typography!
ReplyDeleteLooks like you had lovely weather on your trip too. You left Toronto at the exact right time – it's been nothing but dreary, grey dampness for the past couple weeks.
OMG! We took nearly identical photos of our Toms' by the sea!
ReplyDeleteTomsshoes near Brighton Pier.
I took my photo in early July. It's sort of crazy how they're similar.
I guess Lisbon too :)
ReplyDeleteLisbon!
ReplyDeletei live in Lisbon :D
did you enjoy it?
i left a comment in your flickr too, in the picture of cinema sao jorge :)
I am thinking Portugal.
ReplyDeletePortugal! My husband and I were just there in August and have many similar photos. I hope that you had an amazing time. We loved Lisbon and I was constantly struck by the vibrant colors of the buildings and tiles there. And, it looks like you made it to the Algarve as well--I recognize the gate in Silves! How cool.
ReplyDeleteThat looks like a wonderful place to visit ^_^ I hope you enjoyed it my dear.
ReplyDeleteoh such wonderful photos. beautiful colors, too. and i have to say those "yes, we can" tiles are pretty amazing. :)
ReplyDeleteYes, definitely it's Lisbon, not only for the trams, but also for the beautiful light! We're having a warm autumn here in Barcelona too, and it's more like spring than fall.
ReplyDeleteOh! a minha cidade :) tão linda :)
ReplyDeletelovely photos!! I'd guess south america even though a lot of them have a euro feel.
ReplyDeleteLisboa!! :)

Oh lovely! The smells of cedar and rosemary and sugar and anise sounds like the smells of heaven!!! I bet they had you breathing deeply!
ReplyDeleteYour photos are making me want to run away from home!

ReplyDeleteThanks, guys! And Laurie Anne, yes! I'm honoured, of course!
