OCOLOY Day 51: Surprise Appearance

Mrs S suggested that we have a run-out in the car this afternoon to visit pastures new and find a photo for today. So after humming gently through some nice countryside, we ended up in the town of Broons which had some promising architecture. I readied my camera and checked the exposure and was greeted with the message 'No Memory Card'! Oh bother I said!

We enjoyed a walk round anyway and then drifted back home. I decided to treat myself to a Vin Chaud in my favourite village bar and, why not, take a snap of the proprietor... so here's a pic of Dédé giving me a big smile. In the previous one he was blowing me a kiss but I decided to spare you that! Mrs Dédé (Dominique), who hates having her picture taken, was hiding behind the beer pumps.

Still very much under the weather so this is the best I could manage for today.

This image is SOOC and is part of my ongoing OCOLOY project - you can read more about it in my post for 1 January and in my profile. I'm also tagging this for B&W February.
I'm sure a vin chaud or two will have a suitable medicinal effect.

I'm sure that "oh bother" was the exact phrase that you used...excellent shot by the way

Now I want to see Dominique.

Always like to see our preferred watering hole on 365. A camera is the only thing I've seen that instantly reduces Dom to a shrinking violet. Edmund looks sceptical.

Nicely captures the feeling of a friendly local...Think I'd enjoy spending some time there and lifting a pint or two.

very nice

Nice candid and joined-up commentary - and in black-and-white too! An absolute instant Fav for me!

Love the gentlemen in this shot. Fun photo.
February 20th, 2016  
Great shot, they enjoyed being photographed.

Been there done that. Your candid much better than mine.

Great capture, lighting and funny narrative about Mrs. Dede

well, I'm not sure that vin, chaud or not, is good for the health. But the company here looks like it might be

A fun image.

Great candid. Guess most of us have done that. I don't get a message, just can't take a photo. Hope the Vin Chaud helped and you are feeling better soon.

@fntngrma Thanks Rosan: my Fujis put a message in the viewfnder; my Nikons won't take a photo - the worst are my Sony Nex 6 and 7 which appear to work completely normally with images displayed on the rear screen, but when you go to retrieve the memory card... @&!%#*

Something about France and b&w that just works. Timesless image.

Nice slice of life shot. Looks like a great place to sit and chat and have a libation.
February 21st, 2016  
Great b&w
February 21st, 2016  
I love this!
February 21st, 2016  
Excellent ! Et Dédé a vraiment l'air content!

Love the expression and the look of the chap on the stool turning slightly and looking at you
