On The Rails

Cee Neuner (what would we ever do without her?) has started a new weekly challenge: Cee’s Midweek Madness Challenge – hereinafter referred to as CMMC.

For the first topic she has challenged us to post an image that contains an item in one of her own photographs. The one she chose featured a fence, which gives me an opportunity to post this photograph of a spider’s web spun between two railings of a fence by the river Vienne in Chabanais.

White Orchids

There is something serene about these white orchids, especially when set against a black background.

52 Week Smartphone Challenge: 46 Greed

When faced with a theme of the Seven Deadly Sins, one must choose carefully, for a variety of reasons.

I think I’m on reasonably safe ground with ‘greed’, however.

And Madame does make exceedingly good cakes….

Smiley Aeroplane

You can’t help seeing a smiley face on this old RAF training aircraft at the Yorkshire Air Museum.

Red, Red Rose

This dark red rose also has a wonderful scent.

Monday Window: Le Dorat

Quite a contrast in the state of repair of the windows – not to mention the roofs – of these adjoining buildings in the Place Collègiale in Le Dorat.

As I recall, that boulangerie did a mean pain aux raisins.

52 Week Smartphone Challenge: 45 Musical

‘Musical’ is the theme for Week 45 of the Smartphone Challenge, so here is a detail from the electric keyboard that our grandsons use when they are staying with us:

As it happens, the theme for Cee’s Black & White Challenge this week is ‘Music’, so this post will apply for that too.

Who says men can’t multi-task?

The Purple Peacock

Purple and violet are the key colours in this wall-hanging of a peacock, quilted by Madame and now taking pride of place in our daughter’s new home.

Monday Window: Chabanais

The window of one of many abandoned independent shops (this one a butcher’s) in the town of Chabanais.
