On a more aesthetic note:
Chrysanthemums are THE flower in France for All Saints Day (Day of the Dead in Mexico, as some "Followers" will have experienced with us in 2008) - Nov 1st.
They are traditionally grown as balls of flower, but towns sometimes do a display in a hanging formation.
Everyone has them - and in fact we have one in our sitting room here. Lovely.
They are growing vines on the ramparts of the castle at Angers and actually grow them on the roundabouts too.
For those of you who think he's not here.....
For the Marks family - doesn't this remind you of grandfather Marks standing in front of the water tank? Same stance.
except this Marks does no longer sling his gun to hunt a dingo...rather he captures a 'moment' with what is on his sling and then shares with us all. Wonderful.
ReplyDeleteCrikey - it worked!
ReplyDeleteAm so glad this Marks grew up to be so proficient with a camera and is happy to share the fruits of his snapping with us all. Fantastic photos. Nancye
