Photo Encounters

Photography by Amber Maitrejean. I am an American living near Paris, owing sincere gratitude to Destiny, Fate, Luck and Love. I love photography combined with travel, history, architecture and nature. My kaleidoscope of interests also includes: Steward of the Earth, Deck Master El Milagro Cruise Lines, Wicked Chef, Obsessed Knitter, Prognosticator and Herbologist. The Keeper of my Heart and I live on a boat on the River Marne with our feline pirate Tikki, the bonny swans, a red fish, blue fish, the incredible Mr. Limpet and the occasional kraken. All photos copyright of Amber Maitrejean. Please leave my name intact when reblogging. Merci beaucoup. Oh, and one more thing....Has anyone told you today, how special you are? Well, you are. Never forget that.

I am in love with this tree…and I will have one some day, or several or maybe even a forest.
