Around Dinan " 6th January 2012

As we spent three days in the Dinan area, we naturally spent a little time exploring.  Here's a potpourri of scenes in and around the area.



So French!  And they're delicious.

A patient pooch - right in the middle of the road!

The town centre
Not just Holland have windmill!


That's going to be it for a week.  I'm off to Venice on Sunday - via Exeter and Trowbridge!  Even more images to process and upload then!!

But you have to do it, don't you?

Into the Woods! 6th January 2012

Still trying to get up to date with the French trip!

We're still in Brittany.  Mistletoe abounded in the trees surrounding out gite  Some were quite bowed down with the weight of it - so no surprise that mistletoe was used in great armfuls to decorate shop fronts.

Quite a small bunch of mistletoe festooning a branch
Two more small bunches.  Couldn't discern which types of tree they favoured.
A picnic stop.  Just liked the light.  Notice the mistletoe?


A nearby poplar woods afforded us an hour or so of happy snapping!

Photography!  It's all about light, isn't it?
I won't bore you with any more!  But it was SUCH fun!
Off to Venice on Sunday - so I must try and get a few more days done before I have even more images to sort out - and stories to tell!
