Belated birthday wishes Anne! Growing old is a gift that brings so much wisdom from the life we've led, I'm really enjoying the sense of liberation that it gives me but I have to agree I could do without the extra aches and pains that come along too!! A beautiful series of images for the year I do love the moody atmosphere in that second one.
Thanks so much, Lin! That second photo was taken just across the street from where I live. In fall and winter, we get wonderfully foggy mornings here in the Seine River valley. Here’s to the liberation and gifts of growing older. <3
I see all of it in your photographs: the love and gratitude, but also the passage of time. May the new year filled for you with light and love as well!
Such a wonderful, deep and rich post my dear❤️! Love the first image of Pierre and your self-portraits. The light in your images is so poetical!
I too had severe endometriosis, I'm on the estrogen patch and progesterone for perimenopause and I'm feeling so much better with all the symptoms I had. Let’s talk soon! Lots of love❤️
Thank you so much, dearest. That puppy was simply adorable. And thanks for noticing the light. So glad you've found relief from the symptoms. Yes, let's talk soon. Much love to you <3
I relate to the sense of contentment and choosing how to see with simple grace. Aging has its benefits along with the creaks. The images capture the in-between beautifully.
I love this post so much, Anne. So much I can relate to, firstly, but then there are the images! Each one embodies what you speak about which is a yearning for the suppleness of life. I love all of them. Happy belated birthday! When you capture the secret of how to approach this phase of life, please let me know ;-)
Dear Juliette, thanks so much for your wonderful comment, which made me both smile and chuckle. I'll be sure to let you know if some secret wisdom about how to navigate this stage of life is bestowed upon me at some point. ;-)). I love that you see a yearning for suppleness in these images, and I can see that too, as I look at them now. Thanks so much for sharing your perspective! <3
Happy Birthday, Anne! The ideas within your “gifts of growing older as you see them” really resonated with me - thank you for sharing. Your favorite images from the year are all beautiful, and I especially loved the first one - there is so much love and joy captured in that image!
Happy Birthday, Anne! I feel the abundance and gratitude in your words and images. Love the ones of Pierre! Thank you for sharing. Here’s to another year of life, adventures, and art making.
Thank you so much for the nod! I am grateful! You do things with flowers that are very magical. The long shot down the table is really, really lovely! We all get older, we just need to embrace our new wisdom, acquired over all those years and make good use of it! It seems in your photographs you are doing so!
My pleasure, Søren. And thank you. I'm so happy that you appreciate the flower images, especially the one with the table. It's one of my all-time favorites. Here's to the wisdom that only comes with time.

Thanks so much, Susanne. Yes to all of those things. They are ever-present in how I see, what I create, and how I relate to the world. <3
