Pensive behind plastic
It would be fascinating if every time we saw an interesting face, we knew what the person was thinking... but then, I suppose, the mystery would be gone.
*****
Ce serait fascinant, chaque fois que nous voyons un visage intéressant, de savoir ce que la personne est en train de penser ..., bien que je suppose, le mystère n'existerait plus.

Christmas baguettes
Baguettes in the window of my local boulangerie.
This was taken with my new camera. It's a Fuji XT1 and I think I've fallen in love... I won't be giving up the Canon 5D, Mark III but a light weight camera for every day seemed a great idea! So far so good...
*****
Baguettes dans la vitrine de ma boulangerie locale.
Ceci a été pris avec mon nouvel appareil photo. C'est un Fuji XT1 et je pense que j'en suis tombée amoureuse... Je ne délaisserai pas le Canon 5D Mark III bien sur, mais pour la vie quotidienne, un appareil photo plus léger semblait une excellente idée! Jusqu'ici, tout va bien ...
