July 1st is our National Day .

We left our home for a quick tour to the Lower Saint-Lawrence region , right before the entrance of the Gaspesia region. We left home Sunday at 10:15hrs drove all the way down to Sainte-Luce-sur-Mer. We took our time , and the panoramic road for quite some time. Took time for two picnikto arrive at destination at 22:15 July 1st. Our hosts were getting worried (^_^). We just took our time and made numerous stops along our way. I will begin another travelogue to cover images of those two days.

We just came back at 22:15hrs July 2nd. We traveled 1025 kms in two days. We brought back superb souvenirs with us. We will share a few of them with you.

Here a quick snap, taken with the timer , and tripod. We had a quick bite in the country. I will tell you more later about our itinerary. Let`s just say here the church in the BG is the village of La Durantaye.
We were in Bellechasse county , on the Southshore of Quebec City.

Technically: Simply resized, sharpened, framed and titled.

Cheers!
Martine & Robert

A fun, happy portrait!

I have to say that I do think it pretty weird when kids/adults/couple dress the same like this...but, you know, i think it kinda works here :-)

The pic is well balanced with you both to the left and the lovely peaceful view stretching away on the right. A happy photo!

Robert
Well balanced. I like the white/red/green against the dark clouds.

Hi Robert,

Lovely weather for a picnic! Great composition, I like the balance. Fine details and vivid colors. Looks like you and your wife really enjoyed that moment. Thanks for sharing.

Bonjour Robert
Superbe photo d'un magnifique couple portant tout les deux le rouge officiel pour cette journée de célébration!

Paul

Je suis passé chez à la maison des Gallants la semaine dernière, quel bel accueil nous avons eu, Nicole et Jean sont super gentil.

Wow! Wonderful family shot under the nationtal colors of your big and fine country. I like the depth, the fine sky, the excellent and vivid colors and the great handle of lighting. A wonderful job.

Robert,

Nice depiction of two happy travelers. Lots of km, but certainly a very nice loop. In Canada, winters are tough, but summer is a delight. Here in NC, it's getting hot and humid- typical summer. That's why I'm "living France" with my photos.
TFS. Keep in touch.

Amazing portrait of two great lookers!
Never occured to me to take a shot like that with Christan. We always just shoot each other! This is picture-perfect, and the details and clarity, not to mention the lighting, is superb!
Cheers
