Stretching Away….
Posted on May 12, 2023
Although the local sheep market is a relatively small affair, it’s still possible to get a perspective of the sheep pens disappearing into the distance.
Imperial Purple
Posted on May 11, 2023
The topic for Cee’s Midweek Challenge this week is ‘Imperial Purple’. I really don’t suit a toga so I thought this could prove to be something of a problem.
However, I remembered that at the Fête des Fleurs In Magnac-Laval last month I had seen this rather striking purple flower.
Underneath The Ivy

When I ripped off the ivy that was clinging to one of our wooden fences, not only did it leave behind the scars from the clinging menace, but it also revealed a hidden snail, which was probably only looking for a quiet life.

Boulangerie – Terminé
Posted on April 28, 2023
This – really very good – boulangerie in the village has just closed down without notice and no indication of why. At least we still have the local superette (which used to be based in these premises – hence the ‘Viveco’ sign), where the bread was better anyway, although not quite a match when it came to patisserie.

This colourful windcatcher wheel was displayed at the annual air show in nearby Blond.
Muscat’s Grand Mosque
Posted on April 19, 2023
Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge this week is to show an image of something large. It’s all relative of course, but if you notice the human figure on the lower left of this photo of the interior of the Grand Mosque in Muscat, Oman it’s pretty clear that it’s…well, Grand.
I’ve been framed

I do still have a ‘proper’ camera – it’s in the title of this blog – but nowadays it only comes out for special excursions. Smartphone cameras are now so good for normal occasions, and much more convenient than lugging around an old-school full camera kit all the time.
This is yours truly, hiding behind my iPhone 12.
