I have been out with my camera, here are a few pictures taken over the last few weeks, cold days in the forest, a sunny morning on the beach, and a few blue sky shots :-)
À bientôt, or see you later.

Wow - what stunning shots! Magical. (Glad to see you back here.)
BTW, you have word verification on and it's almost impossible to read those words. You might want to switch it off...
I love, love, love the tree shots!!
Beautiful. I didn't know that about May Day--pretty funny now it is a Anglicization of m'aidez! I'm going to try to find you on Pinterest.
À bientôt indeed!
Hope to see you back on your blog soon. Don't abandon us for Pinterest... ;-)
