Photo and text by: Corey Amaro Will this love affair with France ever end? Will the painted shutters, cobble stones, saints on the corner, hand door knockers, statues popping up in the middle of nowhere ever became mundane? Will the whole mis en scene, theatrical performance of day to day life in France bore me? Is it possible that after eating enough baguettes to look like one myself, drinking rivers of wine, brocanting in every village and birthing two babies in this country I might wake up and find it ordinary? Will the stone walls stop talking? And the geraniums of the window sill stop waving hello?

How fast? What a boring question. How does one measure light? Is it in the shadows or in the reflections? I am in it for the long view: Dark leafy places, red clay roof tiles, the change of seasons that weave history, the narrow streets, the stone step and the four o'clock hot baguette. I am glad family and friends come to France with an open mind. Taking in France with gusto, soaking up the old, the deep, the wonder, the history, the day to day beauty.
