Lens-Artists Challenge – My Last Outing

It’s a particularly timely challenge for this week’s Lens-Artists, because as it happens my last outing was only yesterday (Sunday).

The first ‘big’ local event of the year round these parts is traditionally the annual ‘Fête des Fleurs‘ in the village of Magnac-Laval, about a half hour’s drive from here. It is held in the grounds of the local agricultural college, which is based in this rather grand-looking chateau. I’m always amused by the jaunty tilt of that windvane.

As you can see from the blameless blue sky, the weather was very kind, which is certainly not a given for this time of year.

Imperial Purple

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.

Weekly Photo Challenge: Variations

This display of rockery plants at the annual flower show in nearby Magnac-Laval shows not only a variety of species but also reveals that each individual plant is subtly different from all the others.
