A Buddhist monk crosses the parvis of Notre-Dame in full ochre robes, a phone in his right hand, sandals slapping the flagstones, laughing at something just out of frame. To his right a woman in a headscarf walks the other way. Behind both of them, eight hundred years of Gothic limestone and the restoration cranes still standing. Nobody in this photograph finds any of it remarkable, which is the entire point. This square has been a place of arrival for the better part of a millennium — pilgrims, tourists, traders, refugees, and now a monk checking his messages in the sun. The stone doesn't mind. The ochre against that grey is the loudest thing in Paris today and he isn't even trying. Colour like that walks past once and doesn't come back. #paris #parisfrance #notredame #notredamedeparis #parvis #iledelacite #parisstreets #parisjetaime #france #visitparis #parisian #parislife #everydayparis #streetphotography #streetphotographer #streetphotographers #streetphotointernational #candidphotography #documentaryphotography #storytellingphotography #fineartphotography #travelphotography #urbanphotography #streetlife #humanelement #monk #colourphotography #summerinparis #travelgram

Meet Dilbar, The Largest Superyacht by Volume Ever Built—a 156-metre masterpiece that brings extraordinary scale to life at sea 🛥️✨ Delivered by German shipyard Lürssen in 2016, Dilbar measures an astonishing 15,917 gross tonnes—a measure of internal volume rather than weight. Her sweeping ivory exterior, bronze accents and layered decks create an unmistakable silhouette, with exterior design by Espen Øino and interiors by Winch Design. Among her most remarkable features is a 25-metre indoor swimming pool holding approximately 180 cubic metres of water. Two helipads add another dimension to arriving onboard, while expansive decks offer space to unwind against an ever-changing ocean backdrop. Dilbar reportedly accommodates up to 36 guests across 20 cabins, supported by a crew of 96. Behind her elegant appearance sits a powerful diesel-electric propulsion system, allowing this immense vessel to reach a reported top speed of around 22.5 knots. From the intricate engineering beneath her decks to the carefully considered proportions above them, Dilbar represents an exceptional meeting of craftsmanship, ambition and maritime design. A private world on the water, built on a truly monumental scale. 🌊 Would you spend a summer onboard? 👀 #TheTrillionaireLife

Let’s go for a walk 🚶🏻‍♀️
I’ll never forget when I first moved to NC and this woman said to me what are you gonna do when you’re too old to Model? That was about 13 years ago. I just looked at her and said I don’t know I’ll let you know when I’m too old. When I was in Fl maybe 20 years ago there was a woman who said the same thing and that I couldn’t model forever and then I should look for other work. Of course there were other people close to me that said I should quit and get a real job and quit wasting my time. But what’s interesting is none of those people are paying my bills or actually check in on me to see how I’m doing lol. Well I’m here to tell you I’ll be 50 in February. I’m still doing this “modeling thing”. I’m in the process of still redoing my house right now that I bought from doing this modeling and acting thing. I’m going over to my daughter‘s house later who I raised by myself (to see her and my sweet grandson) doing this modeling and acting thing. And I’m flying to Florida in two weeks to be the face of a new campaign that will be coming out about menopause. I didn’t know these things were going to happen in my life. I simply stepped out in faith I had a dream of being a model when I was a kid. I did not know all the doors that would open. You cannot listen to (shitty) people and no it is not going to be easy. Nobody sees the behind-the-scenes stuff. Nobody sees the hours of auditioning and the money you spend on Website, photos, reels and traveling to and from jobs and how long it takes just to tape one audition. Nobody sees all that stuff. They only see the end product. And that’s OK. 🥰 Because I love what I do I can’t believe I still get to do this. Hey! I’m just as shocked as anyone when I booked some of these jobs. I get blown away and I never take any of it for granted I’m always very thankful for each opportunity 💖And I hope that I inspire other girls but especially women my age. You can change your body. You can change how you look. You can change how you feel about yourself. And you can do hard things. What you want is on the other side of fear. Let’s go ! 😜💖🥰🫵🏻⭐️

I loooooove to load my kids up with a hearty heavy meal before trick or treating. 😆 less room for 🍭 🍬 🍫 LASAGNA SOUP (I doubled this) Ingredients Soup * 1 tablespoon olive oil * 1 medium onion finely diced * 1 pound ground beef * 5 cloves garlic minced * ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes * 1 teaspoon dried oregano * 2 tablespoons tomato paste * 25 ounces tomato pasta sauce * 28 ounces diced canned tomatoes * 2 cups chicken broth * 2 teaspoons kosher salt divided or more to taste * 12 lasagna noodles uncooked and broken into 2” pieces (I used @jovialfoods * ½ cup heavy cream Garnishes * 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese * ½ cup parmesan cheese freshly grated * ½ cup ricotta cheese * 6 tbsp fresh basil finely chopped Instructions * Heat the olive oil in a large pot or dutch oven and add the onion. Cook until it’s soft, then add the beef and sauté. Once the beef is browned all over, stir in the garlic, red pepper flakes, 1 teaspoon of kosher salt, oregano and tomato paste.
 * Stir the tomato sauce, diced canned tomatoes, and chicken broth. Bring it to a boil, then add the broken lasagna noodles to the pot. Add remaining 1 teaspoon of kosher salt, or more to taste. Reduce the heat and let it simmer until the noodles are tender.
 * Stir in the heavy cream. You can add 1-2 cups extra chicken broth at this point to help thin it out if you want a thinner soup. Pro tip: Stir shredded mozzarella or parmesan right into the soup to make it extra creamy and cheesy!
 * Spoon the lasagna soup into bowls and add ricotta cheese, mozzarella cheese, and parmesan cheese along with fresh basil on top. Serve and enjoy!
