Picturesque Nice



I can't think of a way to start this post until I have acknowledged the heartache and sadness about what is happening around the world. 
Having been to Nice twice, the last time back in September and looking back over my photos was reminded of how beautiful this place is.
Having walked along the Promenade des Anglais, dined out at a street-side restaurant, swam in the sparkling blue French Riviera  and shopped at the brocante. Will share a few of my snapshots










We are reminded of how precious life is and wouldn't it be great if we could live together in this beautiful world peacefully. 
Vive la France

Sending love and hugs

Carolyn

  15. The French Riviera is a beautiful region of France as can be seen from your photos. I feel so sad because of what happened to innocent people, families and children there. Joining you in prayer for France at this time. Thank you for your kind email message sent recently. Much love, Linda.

  18. I feel exactly the same as you, dear Carolyn! I know Nice very well, being half-French myself, with many cousins in the area, you can imagine how worried I was for them and how sad about the people who lost their lives and those who got injured. Vive la France!!!!
    Many hugs to you!!!

  20. Dearest Carolyn,
    Yes, such atrocities do throw us all off for quite a while.
    As I write this, just hours ago, another happend in Munich, Germany...
    We need strong leaders that will stand up against all this and let the world return to its peace.
    The beauty of Nice and its surroundings is world known.
    Hugs and peace,
    Mariette

  24. Hello Carolyn, we have recently returned from a trip to Poland and a visit to Auschwitz. I just cannot come to terms with the brutality that went on there and cannot believe people still want to kill one another.
    It would indeed be great if we could all live together peacefully. We are so lucky to inhabit this wonderful planet, why can’t we just get on? Hugs Barbara
