An early train and a sunrise run - two signs the days are getting longer.

La Roseraie

The rose garden (la roseraie) in the Parc de la Tête d’Or has an abundance of flowers at the moment. For a lot of the year it sits there quietly, unadorned, in shades of green.

Raindrops on Roses

Rainbow

A recent storm gave us this view from the kitchen window as the sun came out again.

My New Camera: Canon IXUS 265 HS
