  3. Marie-Noëlle,
    merci beaucoup! :-)
    I went by train in the early morning and back late in the evening. It was a splendid autumn day, with warm temperatures and gorgeous sunshine. The picture was taken in the morning, when the sun was not out yet. The statue seemed to enjoy the mild morning so much, I had to capture her.

  5. Just read a book, "Why Mermaids Sing," that used a Donne poem in an interesting way.

  7. Beautiful Donne quotes. These latest images are all so stunning, Merisi. I have been so busy on the road I haven't been able to visit my favorite blogs the way I like to, but I'm going to go browse a while in yours--they always inspire. (Those heather pots all lined up in a recent post are gorgeous.)
