My French Bike

Just got back from a nice 36km ride through the hills around Roquebrun & Cessenon sur Orb. What a magnificent day for a ride – the trees are blossoming, the birds are singing, butterflies are out and its oh so sunny and warm.

Parfait!

I do have to say I miss my Avanti back home in Perth. Its good to know it’s there waiting for me.

Paige.

Canal du Midi, France, photograph, plane tree, winter

The Canal du Midi comes alive in summer, but in winter it is equally beautiful. The symmetry of the plane trees and winter colours and lighting add to its beauty. Unfortunately the trees are all infected with a fungus and a being replaced with new (younger and smaller) trees.
