hBg in Paree!
Twenty or so years ago Paris and I met. Despite best efforts, the meeting was awkward at best.
I will spare you the tragedy of my early nineties homestay (i.e. commute) to and from Livry-Gargan to Gambetta whilst navigating the fresh horror of the tragic separation of my then thirteen-year-old harp playing exchange partner Vincent’s insane parents… Ahem…
It never quite felt right. How could a girlie like me, ME, have beef with Paris?
So I went back sola to settle the score. Mission accomplished. Here are my reflections …on, …of, …in Paris.
Merci Paris. À la prochaine…

ideal?
the gold is wrinkled and worn. but its scars tell a story. one I would much rather hear frankly.
sending love to any shiny spirit who was ever made to feel less than beautiful.
go gently.
o! canada!
o canada
my home and native land
I spent your day strolling through mega fauna and snap snap snapping.
gawd keep you glorious and free!
o canada, seriously, stand on guard for thee.
me, myself, & p.e.I.
Here is a little friend I met on the beach in P.E.I. I think he was hitting on me.
When I wasn’t being bothered by the locals I binged on the non-stop colour and texture of the red isle. So rich and warm , I vacillated between wanting to either eat or roll around in the landscape at near every view. I mostly just took snaps. Click the photo to see a few. Wolf Parade, the Vaccines and Of Montreal provided the soundtrack.
P.E.I. the sleepiest wonder I ever did see. Thank you for your hospitality.

p.s. Ms. Normal has been trampling all over heARTbeatgal and her ideas. Summer holidays hold promise of finishing at least a few of the many pieces I have started over the Spring. When will Ms. Normal win the lottery?
