bee on echinacea

The weather has broken this morning (Sun) and we are teased that we brought some English weather with us to France.

But we have plenty of reading material and this morning is the market in Vertou - and - tonight is the World Cup Final on TV!!

(Just found something on Google called Le Foot pour les Nuls - that's me!)

Think it might be sunny this afternoon.

Great capture of the bee. Yes the weather is far from seasonal here too. Hope you get to stride out somewhere and find more lovely photos. There s always the Cointreau factory at Angers :-)

Nice clarity in the flower

Pouring with rain and only 17 degrees here at the market in Moissac this morning. At least I don't have to water the flowers and veggies! Nice photo Hazel.
