Gold Coast nostalgia :)

Surfers Paradise Promenade

GOLD COAST, AUSTRALIA – The arrival of summer in Europe makes me inevitably think* about the place that does summer like no other, Queensland! (*not that I needed yet another excuse to think about it all the time, honestly) :) These images are from the gorgeous and vibrant seaside promenade in Surfers Paradise :) Enjoy

L’arrivée de l’été en Europe me fait penser* à l’endroit qui incarne l’été mieux que tout autre, le Queensland ! (*non pas que j’aie besoin d’une nouvelle excuse pour y penser tout le temps) :) Ces images ont été prises tout au long de la magnifique et bien vivace promenade de Surfers Paradise :) J’espère que vous aller aimer

Fresh tropical charm

Callistemon flower growing

My attempt at growing a Callistemon (Australian bottle brush) tree on the Cote d’Azur is going really well :) It’s a very easy plant to take care of and it is gonna bring a touch of tropics into your home :) Also, if you’re into macro photography it is clearly a very good looking subject, like mother nature’s version of fireworks :)

Mon tentative de faire pousser un petit arbre de Callistemon (bizarrement appelé aussi “rince-bouteille” d’Australie) sur la Côte d’Azur est en train d’être un succès :) C’est très facile de prendre soin de cette plante, qui va apporter une touche de tropique chez vous :) D’ailleurs, si vous êtes passionnés de photographie macro, elle pourra devenir un sujet assez intéressant pour vos clichés. C’est un peu comme des feux d’artifice version nature, je trouve :)

A breeze of fresh Pacific Ocean air

Surfers Paradise beachSURFERS PARADISE, AUSTRALIA – The sand between your toes, a tropical sky above your head, pacific ocean’s waves crashing next to you and a wide endless empty beach to walk on for hours…… breathe it all in!

Les pieds dans la sable, un ciel tropical au dessus de vous, les vagues de l’Océan Pacifique qui s’écrasent à côté et une plage immense et sans fin sur laquelle marcher pendant des heures et des heures….. respirez!

Chasing the sunset light

Sun setting over palm trees in the streets of Cannes, French Riviera

CANNES, FRANCE – Sharing a few images from a couple of days ago when I was getting my daily dose of nature appreciation by admiring some beautiful sunset tones in between the palm trees silhouettes. I can never get used to how the pastel tones on the Mediteranean give you the feeling of walking in a living impressionist painting… a pretty dreamy kind of relax :) Enjoy x

La Promenade du Paillon à Nice

Jardins du Paillon

NICE, FRANCE – A few days ago I had the chance to go visit the city’s newly built “green spine” called Promenade du Paillon. It features exotic plants from all 5 continents, fountains, water games and a generally high amount of natural goodness all around. All of this paired with the typical blue sky and sunshine… I’m in love :)

The variety of trees and plants is incredible, I’ll share a few favorites below :) Hope you’ll enjoy this little ‘visual’ walk through these beautiful gardens :) xx

Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary

Koala looking cosy up a treeCURRUMBIN, QUEENSLAND – I am finally able to share the images from our Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary experience ! :) if you wanna go absolutely crazy at some of the cutest and funniest creatures on Earth (and a few scary ones so that you can forever be able to casually mention OH yep, that time I was standing “close” to a crocodile in Australia… :P ), then this is the place for you to visit for sure :) I have also been to Taronga in Sydney before and I loved that a lot too, even though I would probably say Currumbin would be my favorite because the area is wider and more jungle’y, far from the city. The animals seems to be enjoying a very good enviromnent of freedom, tropical goodness and some serious relax, while being looked after by loving park rangers :)

NOTE: this is going to be a long post :D
