Reflecting on finding beauty in the little things during our winter trip to Spain... One of our favorite things to do in Seville was to just walk around the neighborhoods. The doors themselves are beautiful, but they were even better when open, leading to peaceful orange-tree filled courtyards. . . . . . #seville #spain #ig_spain #doorway #sevilledoor #winterinspain #sevilla #ig_travel #girlswhotravel #jw_photographers #jwvisuals #visitseville #sevillaspain #beautifuldoors #spaintravel #travelgram #lookingbeyond

What a difference a month makes... It’s hard to believe that just last month, we were walking through the Plaza de España in Seville, admiring the beautiful architecture and sunny skies. The Coronavirus was on my mind, but it still seemed an illness that was primarily on the other side of the world. Flash forward to present, where my friends in Spain, in France and here in San Francisco (where I’m currently staying) are sheltering in place/on lockdown/ confined due to this virus. Despite the immediate uncertainties (including when I’m going to be able to get a flight back to France 🤷🏻‍♀️), I’m choosing to look up - positively to the future and appreciating the good moments of the past. . . . . . #plazadeespaña #plazaespaña #seville #skyphotography #bubble #clouds #bubblereflection #lookingup #ig_spain #positivevibes #travelspain #jw_photographers #jwphotographer #jwvisuals

Rowing through the Plaza de España... The Plaza de España is so grand that it has a little river that goes around it. For a fee, you can rent a boat to row around for about 30 minutes. Without rowing, you can gain a little free entertainment by seeing people who don’t know how to row struggle with the task... . . . . . #seville #spain #ig_spain #colorful #winterinspain #sevilla #ig_travel #girlswhotravel #jw_photographers #jwvisuals #visitseville #sevillaspain #colorfulplaza #plazaespaña #plazadeespaña #spaintravel #travelgram #rowing #rowboat

Colorful architecture, trees full of bright oranges and 70 degree (F) weather in January - what’s not to love about a winter in Seville?

Sometimes living in France may seem like a dream, and it most ways it’s really great, but there are some negatives, too. Like this winter that never. seems. to. end. Rainy days, cloudy days, gray days ... ugh, it’s just about to make this California girl go a bit insane. But on the (literally) bright side, I’ll be heading to some sun soon, and in the meantime I’ll try to look for the beauty in the dreariness, like a single drop of dew on a foggy, cold morning. . . . . . . #fog #dewdrops #winter #barren #chantilly #foretdechantilly #trees #oise #jwphotography #jwphotographer #jwvisuals #naturelovers #ig_naturelovers #ig_france #picardie #igerspicardie #belleoise #francegram #wintertrees

Random forest walks lead to random beautiful finds... As beautiful as @chateau_chenonceau itself is, making time to explore the surrounding gardens and forests is well worth it. Sculpted here by 16th century Renaissance artist Jean Goujon, these are the Caryatids, Pallas and Cybele, and the Atlantids, Hercules and Apollo. This interesting structure once adorned the façade of the Château, but is now tucked away in a corner in the gardens. . . . . . #frenchchateau #chateauchenonceau #francegram #france_focus_on #francecartepostale #nikonphotography #ig_travel #ig_france #girlswhotravel #jw_photographers #jwvisuals #loirevalley #loiremylove #valdeloiretourisme #valdeloire #loirevalleytourism #frenchcastle #castlegarden #sculpture #chenonceaugarden #jeangoujon #caryatids #atlantids #chenonceauforest

A retake of a previous shot, but since this is my favorite room in @chateau_chenonceau, this stunning black & white Grand Gallery deserves another look... . . . . . #frenchchateau #chateauchenonceau #francegram #france_focus_on #francecartepostale #nikonphotography #ig_travel #ig_france #girlswhotravel #jw_photographers #jwvisuals #loirevalley #loiremylove #valdeloiretourisme #valdeloire #loirevalleytourism #frenchcastle #grandgallery #blackandwhite #ballroom

The feminine details of @chateau_chenonceau are not only apparent from the exterior, but from the interior as well. Each room has these beautiful fresh flower arrangements, which change with the seasons. The last time we visited, this massively tall floral arrangement in the entryway was full of pink florals reminiscent of spring (check out an earlier post from June 2019). This time, the colors of fall are clearly evident. Honestly, I could visit this château at any time of year and be happy… . . . . . #frenchchateau #chateauchenonceau #francegram #france_focus_on #francecartepostale #nikonphotography #ig_travel #ig_france #girlswhotravel #jw_photographers #jwvisuals #loirevalley #loiremylove #valdeloiretourisme #valdeloire #fall #autumn #flowerstagram #flowerarrangements #springflowers #chenonceau #fallflowers #autumnflowers #loirevalleytourism #frenchcastle

Returning to my favorite château in France - the beautiful Château de Chenonceau... . . . . #chateauchenonceau #chateaudechenonceau #chenonceau #valdeloire #valdeloiretourisme #loirevalley #loirevalleytourism #frenchcastle #frenchchateau #francegram #france_focus_on #francecartepostale #ig_france #loiremylove #jwvisuals #reflection #chateaureflection #castlereflection #jw_photographers #girlswhotravel
