Spring is in the Air
I’m seeing lots of people posting photos of flowers blossoming in Nantes .. if you’re from here though you’ll hopefully recognise the background a little bit that makes it a little bit more #Nantes specific 🙂
No Fireworks this 14th July
The new installations at the Jardin Des Plantes
What’s this? A non-food related post … are we getting back to normal? Not quite but I did stop by on my way to work to take a quick look at the new installations. Sure to amuse littles ones 🙂 This is L’arroseur by Jean Jullien
Nantes is Better with Flowers
The weather has been a bit icky recently, it feels like one storm after another. Walking home yesterday from town (Yes I do that when I can) I was struck by the flowers … the sun .. and the shade so I just had to take this snap Did you know that Daffodils are...
Love is Love Nantes
I’d planned on taking a few shots of these stairs this morning … only to see it was blocked off this morning … as … it had been defaced again. Where is it? It’s at Place du Cirque .. leading up to the Tour Bretagne which is where my new...
Have you landed in holiday season yet?
Here’s a shot I took from the Pointe du Raz .. The Gull has Landed In Breton it’s the Beg ar Raz. It’s one of those nice to visit places and while it’s not the most western point in France it’s up there.
Day 12 – Ballet Dancer at the Nefs 2015
I feel like I’m cheating a little bit with today’s post but it’s a photo I took 3 years ago that I really love. It’s of a dancer in a snow globe. It happened as part of the Noël aux Nefs in 2015. We all love snow globes right? Well this was a...
Autumn Falls Now with Added Leaves
What’s the best camera? the one you’ve got with you. My little girl had 2 flat tires the other day. This meant we ended up walking to the activity centre as I didn’t have the time to fix / pump and find out they were burst. It was cold with a nice...
The Lighthouse at Les Sables-d’Olonne
The Lighthouse at Les Sables-d’Olonne taken from around 800 – 1000 meters away. Hazy and dull day but I like the shot a lot.
The Lunar Eclipse
Too much ambient light and cloud cover tonight with the moon a bit too low in the sky tonight (trees / buildings) but I did manage to get this shot before deciding to call it a night. I also made a new friend a friendly little hedgehog.
Crescent Moon and Venus over Nantes
If you look in the sky tonight you’ll see a beautiful crescent moon and below it on the right you’ll see a pretty bright star … except that’s Venus. Beautiful to see. (Did I mention my obsession)
El Galeon Andalucia in Nantes
Take the shuttle boat to Trentemoult
I always love the trip across to Trentemoult and the return trip. In general it’s free going across as I’ve already taken the tram into town.
Happy Easter 2018
Hope everyone has had / is having a Happy Easter / Easter weekend. Hopefully you get some down time to spend with family or friends. Val made this the other day with the kids and put it up on the outside of our door and I love it and so surprised it hasn’t been...
