With the arrival of autumn, Metz has metamorphosed into an entirely new city. When I first came to France in September, it was mostly green and very lush, with only hints of yellow here and there. Almost two months later, the city is transformed. I feel as though I need to 're-explore' Metz, since everything looks different when clothed in the rich brocade of fall colors. Not a day passes that I don't marvel at the beauty of my city, that I don't thank God for bringing me here, that I don't think I've made the right decision.
At the same time, not a day passes that I don't yearn to share all this with Jim, my family, and my best friends back home. There's only one thing I adore more than experiencing the beauty of the world... sharing it with the ones I love.
One of the most gorgeous views of Metz right now, le Jardin Botanique. (Botanical Gardens)
A dream house near the Botanical Gardens.

Even without flowers, I love perfectly manicured French gardens.
One of my favorite places in Metz, ruins of a gothic church,

Wow, that is absolutely stunning!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite is the top one! Love your photography! Mom
ReplyDeleteJust beautiful! Fall is my favorite season. Paris is beautiful in a lot of ways, but expressing fall colors is not really one of them. Enjoy fall and your beautiful city!
