Ramblings of a retiree in France
I’ve been out and about again with my trusty iPhone6 snapping away at the local flora in the Domaine’s gardens.
Sunshine’s Macro Monday Challenge is hosted by Irene a formidable photographer who encourages us to scrutinise the smallest of details by getting up close and personal and bringing someone or something to life in a photograph. It’s a one day challenge without prompts. Feel free to join in and brighten everyone’s Monday.
Some beauties today, Sheree. That first photo–baby pine cones!!!–is gorgeous.

In Poland, spring is just beginning, so only snowdrops, crocuses bloom. Your photos caused a longing for sun and warmth. 🙂
Best regards

My pleasure Sheree. Thank you. In Valencia the sun is shining and the weather is getting warmer every day…so far as March is unpredictable…and things are getting back to normal, mostly. Cannot complain. Our tourism is really down, but at this point in time, I am glad as our incidence rate is also one of, if not the lowest, in Europe. So, I must say, happily, all’s well. How are things in your part of France?
Cheers,
FBC

That’s good to hear Francisco, sadly I cannot day the same about France. ICU is full largely with those that have English variant which lingers longer. Numbers generally still rising despite quasi-lockdown. 😞

I am so sorry to hear that Sheree. It’s like a wheel that keeps on turning and turning and we don’t know when it’s going to end. Hopefully with the vaccines we can resume normal life soon. Take good care of yourself and stay safe, all the best to you,
FBC.
