Happy Weekend


The photo below was taken twenty years ago in France. I had to scan the old snapshot, to get a digital image. Last summer I happened to drive by that same little country church, still sitting alone in the same untouched field, but of course the poppies were not in bloom then. 
I like to imagine that they are in bloom again now or that they will be very soon.



The rest of these photos I took last summer. I somehow thought, that they might speak to the celebrations of this weekend.





I hope, what ever you do, that it will be a happy one.






Happy springtime happy Easter!!

    J’aime la façon dont tu as choisi tes sujets pour nous parler du printemps. La simplicité m^me des scènes donne une belle humanité à cette série de photos, qui pour moi, me parle et me touche beaucoup.

    Merci.

    Very Easter-y pictures from France. Always happy to see photos from France. The poppies are gorgeous. I was just thinking about which seasons I have visited France. I've never been in January! Happy Easter or happy spring, whichever you celebrate.

    I think they are a perfect representation for this time of year- I too would like to imagine the poppies in bloom- lovely.

    Lovely photographs Sally
    The poppies were out in Malta so you are probably right about them splashing red on the countryside of France to.
    Hope you are having a lovely Easter.
