The good news is that the daffodils are back.
The bad news is that so are the weeds.

This noble-looking horse was carrying one of the riders at the Birds of Prey show in Confolens-St-Germain.

Tuesday Photo Challenge: Number
Posted on February 18, 2020
For the 200th iteration of his Tuesday Photo Challenge, Frank has chosen the theme of ‘Number’.
I spotted this lorry in the Sydney suburb of Manley. There are lots of numbers on it and I have no further comment.
Tuesday Photo Challenge: Action
Posted on February 11, 2020
After last week’s theme of ‘Rest’ it was only logical that this time Frank would be seeking some ‘Action’ images for his Tuesday Photo Challenge.
This is the display team of the Air Force of the United Arab Emirates in action over Abu Dhabi, as part of the country’s National Day celebrations.
Tuesday Photo Challenge: Cat
Posted on January 28, 2020
Frank was probably thinking more about domestic pets for his theme this week of ‘Cat’. However, we haven’t had a pet cat since the late eighties, so we will have to settle for another member of the feline family, rather higher up the food chain.
This cheetah was in the game reserve on Sir Bani Yas island in Abu Dhabi. They’re very elusive (as well as rather noble-looking), so we were lucky to be able even to see one in the flesh, let alone to get close enough to capture a halfway decent image.
Tuesday Photo Challenge: Trees
Posted on January 22, 2020
Frank’s chosen theme this week is ‘Trees’. We live in one of the most wooded areas of France, as it happens, so I’m certainly not short of pictures of trees to choose from. However, this image is from a little further afield : it’s the esplanade of the Chateau d’Amboise, in the Loire Valley. It’s perhaps best known for being the burial place of Leonardo da Vinci.
We chose a rather overcast day (in fact, it rained heavily for much of the time) to visit, but when the sun did peek through, the light was nigh-on perfect.

Tuesday Photo Challenge: Retrospective
Posted on January 1, 2020
At the turn of a decade, Frank has chosen the theme of ‘Retrospective’ for his challenge this week.
Ten years ago, we were living in Abu Dhabi and our daughter and her family – including our then two years old twin grandsons – were memorably with us for the Christmas holiday. One day we took them to the water park in the Corniche gardens, where they had great fun getting soaking wet.
Tuesday Photo Challenge: Mist
Posted on December 11, 2019
Frank’s theme for this week is ‘Mist’. This shot of my fields, as dawn breaks, could be seen as the companion to this one, taken a minute or so earlier
