I love to see synchronicity coursing through the internet, giving little zaps as it zips along. Fellow Provençale transplant Vicki Archer of French Essence asked the question today: “Do you take photographs in colour waves?” Beh oui, I do and some of my very favorite posts have come about from that line of sight. Not to mention, in the “Great Minds…” category (a-hem), I had already planned to share these emerald tainted photo slices. How do you like them apples?
These were all taken on the same afternoon of our farewell luncheon in the Luberon, as I sucked in the sun with sweet contentment. Little did I know that they would end up being an Ode to the Spring that Never Came. Ooh spring, why do you hide? Why must I must painfully try to explain your absence like an unfaithful lover? Or something like that. For we have had nothing but rain and the temperatures are the coldest that they have been in years (“Je crois depuis les 1800 et quelques,” decried the gentle lady on the quay with her blind bloodhound baying at her side). Yesterday, Remi and I took a rare break at a café for our first “Monaco” of the season and the waiter announced that the temperature had dropped eleven degrees (Celsius) within the past two days. No wonder everyone was a-chooing around us. And sure as shootin’, when I took the pups out thirty minutes later, the sky chose that precise moment to open up and let go. Merci!
Everyone is cranky, even Kipling, who is tired of me towel-drying the disco crimps on his ears.
And me?
I am positively green. Green with what I will let you infer…all while wishing you a Bon Weekend…
We were in Belgium & France in April and it was FREEZING cold! All those we met said it was unusually cold for that time of year. Ahh, at least you can have a Monaco to remind you of summer days! Bonne Chance! These photos are beautiful, as always
We joke in Seattle about moss growing between our toes; or webs as in webbed feet. Hope the sun comes soon for you.
Thank you wonderful, brilliant, supportive friend.
Of course I did.
*bisous*
Yay for the Greek Festival!!! And thank you so much for that photo, Sister–gosh, they looked SO happy that it made me happy! It was contagious! And I always think of you when the light is "just so"–you really taught me to look up in NYC.
LOVE you!
EE! How I do miss thee, let me count the ways…I do believe you were among my first "I don't even know this person!" readers. Hoping your French Folly is taking form!
Gros Bisous,
H
Bah, especially for those of Irish tendencies…? (I don't actually know what I mean by that but it sounds a little more…risqué than planned 😉
I truly hope that you had your sun, Karena!!
You too, Edgar? My goodness, it seems as if the trying weather is world-wide right now.
Well, have a cool glass of white and try to enjoy.
Wishing you, admittedly belatedly, a wonderful weekend as well.
Too, too hot! And I only get up at 6am to catch a flight. 😉
Merci pour nectar of spirit. That is gorgeous…
Bon fin de weekend!
