The family is growing.

 

 Nesting.

 The garden today.

Something I've learned from the great

gardeners Alain Richert and Catherine Willis

is to plant amidst what already grows naturally.

 Before we light the fire,

let's make a piece of Art

and burn it.

Everything must go.

What we are, what we do. 

Let's not be too serious

about it.

A touch of green

 Cette lumineuse rupture...
The reflection of a plaster bust in a mirror in my study. It can only be seen if one sits low and close to the fire place. Through the mirrors, things are looking at us without us noticing it. They seem to watch us live and sometimes, not often, we catch them doing it. Or is it the contrary ? This bust is obviously squatting a strategic place. Something to think about.

 After weeks of rain, 

at last, 

a ray of 

sun.
