Itsy bitsy France

My sister & her family spent 10 days with us in France. Good thing, otherwise we wouldn't have any pictures! I'm not great about taking out the camera, especially when I've been to a place several times before. Here are some miniaturized pictures of what we've been up to:

Monaco
The beach at sunset

Typical Nicois buildings
A view of Nice from the chateau (where we visit every morning & enjoy the playground)

Kids playing on the giant spider web at the chateau


Our little neighborhood
Walking along the Promenade des Anglais
near the Musee Massena

on a stroll through the Musee Massena, where we picked & ate some nefles

swimming




more beach...
teeny tiny people!


A street in Cap Ferrat

    I've seen photos in that style before, but it was a while ago and I thought it was hard to do. Is your sister a pro, or is there an app that does that now?

      Her camera has a "miniature" setting. Super easy!

      I was going to ask about it too. Which camera is it? And what about the blur?

    Must be a European thing. In Israel the second story is also called the first story. The first floor is called ground floor :-).

    Looks lovely!

    Great photos! I love the effect for the setting, and it makes me want to be in France.
