Photo Challenge - Day 6

A picture of a person you'd love to trade places with for a day ~


I absolutely love my life :) I wouldn't trade it for the world. That being said, there are a few individuals that I would absolutely love to change places with for a day. Top on my list is my friend, Emilie. We were friends as children and through the magic of the Internet were able to reconnect a few years ago. She has a wonderful blog (from which the photo below is borrowed, which you can read here) that I love reading.


She is constantly visiting fabulous places (that I will visit someday!) with magical names like St. Tropez and Corsica. She lived in Paris for several years and currently has a beautiful old house, filled with character, in New York City. She often spends holidays in Provincetown (located at the tip of Cape Cod), and her activities seem to me to be the epitome of culture somehow blended with abandoned amusement, a combination I find intoxicating :) Her blog reminds me a bit of the magazine "National Geographic" as she captures the personality of wherever she is and her photos seem to bring those places and the people in them to life. Her photos have helped me start to notice similar moments around me and I now appreciate them more fully.

Laney, it's good to know I'm not the only one that stalks Emilie's blog. ;)
