  2. The lady (caryatid?) on the carousel looks as if her hair is in giant rollers -- perhaps she's going out later.

  6. Aix is on my list for next April's trip to southern France. I have only been as far south as Arles and I cannot wait to see Aix, Nices, Antibes, Menton....

  8. Thank you all for your kind comments! :-)


    I just had a good laugh, talking with a friend. He told me that I am using such bright colours lately, he is putting on sunglasses before he visits my blog. *hehe*

    How do you like my colours, lately???

    (You may have noticed that I am trying to get all my blog friends on my blog roll - see the link "My links" - just send me a note if you are not up there yet. )

    A wonderful evening to all of you,
    warm greetings from hot hot Vienna (100°F),

  11. Oh I haven't been here for far too long. Such loveliness - the scenery, the roses, the pig(!), the hammocks and bicycles and water and sun...

    Love, as always, the view you post of the world where you are.

  12. Charles Gramlich,
    looking at the picture, I wonder why the thought of buying them did not cross my mind. Apparently, I am so used to only take pictures, I am unable to go beyond the image and think of it as something I could own. ;-)

    Diane,
    thank you! :-)

    Provence is indeed a lovely place, as are the people.

    Cipriano,
    thank you! There are days when colour seems the only way to go, inevitably.
