Hello, dear friends! Thank you for your much-appreciated visits and comments on the Giverny village photos. Although many of us are well into autumn, at least per the calendar, in our garden we still have roses budding and blooming and very few leaves of any color. So, I thought we'd take one more visit to the magical village of Gerberoy, France, and its romantic, rose-covered cottages, okay?
Centuries-old stone work and beautifully-aged wood, softened by untamed roses.
Red timber work faded to deep pink.
This last was taken in Normandy, at the manoir where we stayed when we left Gerberoy. I'll be sharing more of that amazing place soon.
In other news, I'm thrilled and honored to be featured in two of my favorite publications this month, Romantic Homes and Somerset Life! You can see the covers on the sidebar at right and I'll share the inside details in the next post. And kudos to you, too, since each of you contribute so much by encouraging me in creating this online endeavor.
Wishing you a fresh and sparkling new week!
much love,
– g
Happy week to you too!
ReplyDeleteAnd Congratulations!
And...thanks for these great - and romantic - photos. Yes... summer dreams...so nice especially since fall is now here to cool us! :)
What a beautiful place ! ;)
ReplyDeleteUna vez más has conseguido atrapar toda la belleza que te rodea con un simple disparo de la cámara. Gracias por seguir regalándonos cada día tanta belleza.
ReplyDeleteBesos dulces siempre.
Awwwww, congrats G!!! No one deserves it more! You have a great blog - you take us to so many wonderful places that many of us would never be able to enjoy if not for you and D and your outstanding talent!! Hope you are having a great weekend!! love - t.
ReplyDeleteOh lovely roses, love the dreamy feel and soft edges of your photos. Simply stunning work! Autumn is definitely here now, we had the first night with frost this week (which I sadly couldn't capture) but there are a few roses still in bloom. Congratulations on the feature! :) Happy to be in the same issue as you! Happy Sunday! xo
ReplyDeleteHow wonderful and beautiful too.

ReplyDeleteSuch breathtaking photos.. Thanks so much for sharing them.. They are gorgeous..
ReplyDeleteCongrats to you on being published that is so exciting.. I am happy for you!

Hi G,
ReplyDeleteAgain these are gorgeous images. I love a stone cottage and sure wish I could get my husband to build me one ;-)
I love how the red timbers have faded to such a pretty shade of pink and hope that someone doesn't see the need to re-coat it.
If you ever publish a book I would have to have it. It would be worn out in no time...I could live in you pictures.
hugs from here...
Beautiful!!!.....smiles.
ReplyDeleteStunning, dear Georgianna!
ReplyDeleteI am so happy for you. Getting featured in the magazines!!!...Congratulations. I enjoyed taking a summer stroll around France, it is cold and windy here. You also have a wonderful week. hugs, Jen.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on the magazine features G, that's excellent news and well deserved. Looking forward to your next posts so we can take a peek at the articles. I don't think it's possible to get those publiations over here. Gorgeous rose photos, I don't think I can get enough of your French roses. Some of these places look like they were just waiting for you to come and take photos, they're perfect for your beautiful photographic style :)
ReplyDeleteooohhh, I love your photos!!!!
ReplyDeleteTaking time to smell the roses this afternoon... your lovely roses! France does have so much to offer, and the sweet towns of Giverny and Gerberoy attest to that. Your Normandy home away from home looks lovely--can't wait to hear about it. I'm so excited you are being featured in the two magazines. Just the beginning, I'm sure, of new journeys ahead!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fairytale like village this is! Love the colours.... of course... and the roses and other flowers.... of course!
ReplyDeleteBye,
Marian
Hello G

ReplyDeleteSuch beauty in these images... breathtaking!
ReplyDeleteSuch beautiful photos - not simply the flowers but the brick and architecture. I'm an English lass living in South Africa - Oh how I miss old red bricks, clay tiles and interesting architecture..... such joy to see - thank you! xx
ReplyDeleteAhh ! Roses ... you captured their beauty again ! Lovely pictures ! kind regards, Martina
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on the features! So well deserved. Beautiful rose pictures, so much charm lies in the last one. :)

Blessings,
Sandi
Lovely, just lovely! What else can I say? I'll be looking for your newly published work.
ReplyDeleteGot my calendars today! Thanks for getting them to me before you left town.
Exquisite roses and all the nicer in La Belle France - The touch of lavender at the doorway in your last pic is just magical Georgianna - your composition is always perfect!
ReplyDeleteTake care xx
Yay!! I did see your "thank you" on the last page of Somerset Life. A second surprise as the first was my photo featured in their Miscellany section. (nothing like tooting my own horn!) heh!! Seriously, I loved seeing you featured in there, G! I'll have to look for the other mag in my B&N next time I'm in there- woohoo! Have a great week ~Mary
ReplyDeleteOh what pretty dreamy photos again! I love them all! Roses are always such a thankful being to put into the spotlight I think. The magic will never stop! Many many congratulations on your feature in those great magazines! I wish I could get Romantic Homes here in the Netherlands. I would have bought it right away! Can't wait to see the insides of what they published about you and your fantastic work!!! Have a wonderful day!!
ReplyDeletehugs

How absolutely beautiful these images are g!!! And how exciting to be published in these two wonderful publications!!! Hope the rest of your week is delightful in many ways...
ReplyDeleteMuch love back to you... Dianne
I can never get enough of your beautiful rose photos G.! These are simply gorgeous ... and so nice to see when mine are fading.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on Romantic Homes & Somerset Life! xo
Keep on coming these Georgianna, I like to live in fairytale:) I'm back in my boring life in Finland, it is cold and sad here (light is fading away to minimal day after day and I'm really missing Amsterdam... or anything:) I think I live through these fairytale pictures and through my pictures from Amsterdam keep dreaming. Fairytales are much more fun than this cold rainy place here. Maybe you notice I have little troubles to live in reality just now:)
ReplyDeleteHave a great week enjoy your last roses and keep us beautiful pictures to dream of.

OOOhh!! que colores tan vivos!!

I'll go right out and get them!!!! Congrats! I am taking a moment from grading papers to see you, for you have such light in your spirit and you are a blessing to know. I am getting sad at the thought that my calender is running towards the end of this year. I have a little something via snail mail to send you soon... hopefully sooner than later, hee hee. sigh. Take care dear and much love to you and yours! Blessings.
