sunflower and friend


Yes, it's been warmer than average in Amboise so far this winter, but not this warm.  I just thought everyone might appreciate a flash back to July to escape all the grayness for the moment.  (All right, well maybe not so much you Aussies!  I'll be posting more snow pics for you later.)

    1. Great. A little color mid-winter can't hurt.

    1. Thanks. I wonder what the bees are doing now... hunkering down in front of the fire ?

    1. In contrast to all the grey we're seeing now, it does pop out.

  7. Thanks. Chicken soup the best. I love it even when I'm not sick and then of course a good tea with a spoonful of honey .What should we do without bees ? Thanks again for your good wishes.

  9. I was a bot obsessed with photos like this one a few years back. I did a set of photos that I named Fibonacci spirals. Can be seen here: www.flickr.com/photos/steffe/sets/72157594171880197/

    1. I did look at your collection and it is of course fabulous. Those fibonacci sequences show up in all kinds of places. Anyway, I plan to be looking at more of your flickr sets.
