Mass carrots

There's quite a 'tail' about these carrots. What a terrible pun!

These were on display in a French market. Rather attractive.

The Smiling Assassin

Here is the smiling assassin, with assistant - I make no further comment, other than I don't like them, they're too menacing!

You wouldn't want to get on the wrong side of this pair!

Reflected stalls

It might be difficult to make it out, but with a little bit of patience you will see that the scene is of a stall in a market place, with a mirror at the rear of the stall, this reflecting stalls behind us. Quite fascinating.

This market was in France, for those who may be interested, though those with experience of such in that country might well have deduced this already. Did I hear a whisper about healthy and safety regulations in the EEC - surely not!!!!

Bonaquil village street

Click on photo to enlarge
This photo is of a street in Bonaquil, a village in France. This particular street is extraordinarily narrow, and it has been retained like this as part of the traditional area of the village. Though I'm not sure that i would like to live in a street like this, it is difficult to argue against the thought that it has a charm about it that would be lacking if it wasn't there.

Rose flowers

We have a tree in the garden up which climbs a rose, this picture is emanating from this scene. The impact of the flowers is the fact that the sun is behind them, providing a contra-jour shot. Ir really makes them stand out. I think it's great!

Tea break at leisure

How about a scenario that many an older retired couple would like to be able to do in their back garden, when the sun is out - just relaxing with a cup of tea!

You could almost feel the sun, and the enjoyment obtained from the couple in this scene, sipping their tea! Can you think of anything more relaxing than this?

Pheasant

This fellow came right up to our holiday home rented in Scotland, whilst we were sitting out enjoying the scene. He was determined to be photographed, so being of an obliging nature, I did just that!

I think he looks rather superior, perhaps used to getting what he wants - mmmm!
