So where were we,<\/a> oh yes, in the val d’amour<\/em>, nestled up against the jura<\/em> mountains in the east of France. It’s a beautiful area, no doubt. And on the last morning there I managed to sneak out of the house alone in the early-ish hours and take a walk through the fields and along\u00c2\u00a0 la loue<\/em>. I imagined French Boy as a boy (even though I call him French Boy he is now, I assure you, a man), running through the fields and throwing pebbles into the bubbling river. Oh to be a child growing up in this magical place! No wonder he is always smiling from the inside out, the nature of this land must dwell deep.<\/p>\n

\"PJB_IMG_0541\"<\/p>\n

Walking through nature seems like such a gift. It is forever changing, forever evolving – to be a part of it in each precise moment feels sacred and inspiring. I crave it daily and when I do get the chance to be part of it wholly I am quiet. Just listening, just being, and soaking it all in. On this particular morning walking by la loue<\/em>, the sun was shining bright and even though the air was crisp the sun warmed my face quickly. I could see glimpses of the river through the shoreline trees and I could hear it loud and clear but I couldn’t quite see any way of getting down to it’s pebbly shore.<\/p>\n

\"PJB_IMG_0540\"<\/p>\n

Until finally I saw a gap in the rocky hill and a slightly precarious but not too difficult makeshift pathway. With lenses and camera hanging lose around my neck I didn’t even hesitate. Down I went, making my way to the clearing and sat myself on the pebbles, the water lapping only centimeters away from me. Bliss.<\/p>\n

\"PJB_jura_IMG_0543\"<\/p>\n

I sat there for as long as I could, which was only about 10 minutes unfortunately, but oh, those 10 minutes were so lovely. I lay in the sun, feeling the river breeze on my skin and the cold hard pebbles underneath my body. The water was absolutely beautiful. I dipped my hands in and brushed some of the icy water against my eyelids and cheeks. I wanted to stay down there all day.<\/p>\n

But it was time to go. So I packed up my gear, said \u00c3\u00a0 bientot mon amie!<\/em> and went on my way. While I was walking past the farms I saw a few friendly characters\u00c2\u00a0 that I just had to photograph…<\/p>\n

\"PJB_jura_IMG_0558\"<\/p>\n

This guy on the left stood like that the whole time I went by him, and only moved his head so that his eyes were always in line with mine. His pose was so funny I couldn’t help but giggle…<\/p>\n

\"PJB_IMG_0560\"<\/p>\n

Beautiful. After a few deep breaths I felt a little more replenished and ready to get back to our life in Amsterdam. It was a long drive home (about 10 hours) but with my traveling companion by my side, it was alot of fun. Au revoir jura<\/em>, see you again sometime…<\/p>\n

Location: Jura<\/em>, France<\/p>\n

On the menu: cr\u00c3\u00aape<\/em> with reblochon<\/em>, sauteed potatoes, and salad served with Brittany cider in bowls. Followed by a sweet cr\u00c3\u00aape<\/em> with chocolate spread. Miam. <\/em><\/p>\n
