a summer treasure

a few objects found these last days at the beach : a small adition to the large collection already at home. yep, just garbage... but beautiful garbage!

a hot summer afternoon

a beautiful afternoon at my favorite secret beach. (almost always desert because you have to walk for a while trough the hills to get there : it just makes it better! so happy that few feel the same..). walked a lot by the sun; read some more of Philip Robinson's "the faber book of gardens"; collected a small "summer treasure" (will show it later..), bathe for a while on the cold, fresh, inviting waters. what a perfect day!

inside

yes, i also like stuff. lots of stuff. from the street, from the beach, from the fleamarket. it seems i just can't have enough.

strawberries

we really like strawberries. this spring i planted a few and this is one of the first baskets of them. watching them like this, all together and shiny, reminds me of flemish still-life paintings. and Chardin. and Fantin-Latour. i bet we'll get to them sooner or later....

a bit late - last spring

the garden was really beautiful this spring (yep, all the hard work has been giving some results). took this photos a while back, and the end of the day light just gave them an amazing beauty.

a happy rendez-vous this afternoon

this happy fellow decided to visit me this afternoon in the garden. well, i followed him for a little while and decided that we were intimate enough to try to hold him. he was kinda sweet and didn't hurt me that much, and did some funny groans and noises all the way. hehe, living in the country can bring you some nice moments like this one

last september - the lost duck

I guess this duck was kinda lost. well, who isn't these days ?!
