Fascination.
The butterfly is fascinated by light, which often leads to its loss. Let’s put things into perspective because the life of butterflies is one of the shortest.
This does not prevent some, however fascinated by butterflies, from killing them for the sole pleasure of keeping them behind glass or in a transparent box…
Fascination is a kind of hypnosis. To be fascinated is to not manage to divert one’s attention from an object, a living being, a landscape, a sound…
And since this fascination is also a kind of ecstasy, it causes an avalanche of neuro-transmitters and hormones which short-circuits resonance and this famous free will so dear to humans but which ultimately they practically never use, fascinated as they are by what comes from the reasoning of others, or even from totally artificial intelligence.
So try to be amazed instead. The marvelous is pure pleasure! It doesn’t block your intellect, it boosts it!

A London trip
For friend’s wedding and photographies
Last week I was in London – Vaccin, test to fly, 2nd day test, masks, hôtel booking, flies booking….. 1 week to have all the papers, files, and obtain the OK to do.
But I had promised my friends to be present at their wedding and a promise to friends is sacred !!!!
And the day before, I had planned to harvest images of London to create a new collection of creations of which I have the secret. Here is the first piece.
Others will follow !!!

Lavande’s meeting

Because of water, we are on the blue planet, but the sun can change it to gold.
Happy new year

Creativ humour
Sweet Provence light
Summer is here, it will stay to 21 September… But if he stay more, we will cal him “Indian Summer” (été indien in french) . This name comme from Canada.
But, for landes, is shorter. They have to be cut between 21 July and 20 August.
Many people invade the lavender fields, with their phones to take photos, to show they have been there !!! My god, usually they spend 20 minutes and go away …..
Personally, I prefer the fields forgotten by the tourists, I sit down, I wait, I look, I listen to the bees, the butterflies, the rustle of the lavender in the light wind and I look at the mum which changes every moment , which change the colors, I wait for the right moment, the one that makes me a “wow” …. Some day, I can stay 3:00, 4:00 to make 10 photographs but each of them contains as many memories as hundreds of pages.
Enjoy!

An Interview with Charlotte Hoather, My Favorite Classical Soprano
Today I have invited the brilliant soprano Charlotte Hoather for tea. She’s British, so I know she likes tea. Me, I’ll stick with coffee. I somehow got directed to Charlotte’s blog a number of years ago, when she was first enrolled in the Royal College of Music in the Master’s Program. It was a wonderful blunder because I’ve been enjoying her voice and her professional growth ever since.
by Frank Dresch
Since she is the first profession singer I’ve ever met, I have a lot of questions for her!
Charlotte, when did you start singing?
My older brother and I used to watch Disney Sing-a-Long videos from about the age of two, and I started singing when I was about two, at least that’s what I used to call it, I would watch Disney Sing-a-Long and Barney with my brother. But I started singing on stage from the…
