Photohunt ... Wooden

Photohunt's theme for this week is "wooden".
Since I already featured the wooden elephants
( at the entrance of the zoo in Antwerp)
on a Wordless Wednesday,
I decided to look a little bit further away from home.
I can't resist photographing doors whenever I'm on holliday on France.
This is one of my favourites.
It's in Eygalières, a tiny little village in the Provence.
I love how they have used different pieces of wood over the years.
The rocks in the wall ande the big rusty nails add to the authenticity I think.


I love the "cat door" and the faded colour of the wood ...

Fridge Friday ... Magic fridge

Grammy sends you all of her love.
Unfortunately, she is feeling a little bit "stuffed" this week,
( my little sister is coming over )
so I have searched a colleague of hers to replace her!





There!
Maybe maybe come back?
Maybe next week?
Hehehehe!

Thirsday Thirteen, things that make me happy ...

Thirteen things that made me smile these last few days ...

1. The new camera, although it still looks rather intimidating to me.
2. I enjoyed buying a new shirt for my husband.
It's really a Valentine gift, but since we agreed on not buying anything
( we bought that new camera) I have not given it to him yet.
I did not want to make him think he had to buy me something!
3. I have hidden it a little while longer and I'm going to give it to him on Friday.
Looking forward to give it to him!
4. Going out on Sundays hunting pictures together.
5. He calls me from wherever he is just to tell me that he loves me.
6. That e mail he sent me instead of calling me yesterday.
7. We had lunch together last Friday to celebrate our anniversary.
8. The glass of Cava that went with it ...
9. Me, secretly trying to make pictures with that new camera!
10. Coming home from work at six o'clock in the evening and it's not even dark yet!
Yay, spring is getting nearer, and the days are becoming longer and longer...
11. We have fixed the date for our summer holiday in France this year!
12. My boss has agreed to it! Yay!
13. Thirteen already?
There is so much more I have enjoyed this week, the birds on my patio ...
comments on my blog, walking in the sun, my cat ....

PS: This is one the first pictures I took with the new camera!
Have a great day!
Ps2: I can't seem to be able to reach the homeblog of Thursday Thirteen?
Anyone else out there with that problem?

Wordless Wednesday ... Before the storm rages

Wordless Wednesday ...

This is the skyline of the village where I live.
One night, I saw this wonderful sunset so I hurried outside to catch it.
A few minutes later there was a huge thunderstorm.



Don't forget to visit the others?
See you all again next week, for a new Wordless Wednesday!

Against all odds?

There's a 12% Chance You've Been Abducted ByAliens

There's virtually no chance you've been abducted by aliens. But there's always hope for the future!

What Are the Chances that You've Been Abducted by Aliens?

I guess I already should have known.
I don't think those Aliens would ever want me.
After all, I have no unexpected nosebleeds, and I don't see any strange flashes of light either!
My mouth tastes perfectly normal, thank you!
I do not dream I'm being operated on,
nor that those wild animals are feasting on my delicious flesh.
That's why it's perfectly normal that I sleep very well at night.
I don't wake up in the middle of the night crying for no reason.
Of course, if I was dreaming about being eaten by wild animals,
I would not be surprised to wake up crying either!
There is no "lost time" in my life that I cannot account for,
exept for the fact that there just are not enough hours in my day...

See?
I'm a perfectly normal human being.

Oh well, I guess I can live with that.
I'll just have to find something else to blog about!

Fun Monday Signs that make you smile?

This week's host is Sayre, and this is the assignment:

Every day as I go to work, I see things around me that make me laugh. Usually these are in the forms of signs. So take your camera with you as you go about your business and take a picture of the things that make you laugh along the way (but it doesn't necessarily HAVE to be a sign).

I hope it does not necessarily have to be on the way to work?
My work is just around the corner from where I live.
It's a two minute walk really, and not very interesting either.
But reading this week's assignment, I immediately thought of something I saw in the Provence.

When we are on holliday in France, we sometimes go out to shoot some pictures.
We like to take our food with us and then we try to find a nice place to enjoy a picknick.
Picknick spaces are not always available
so we take our own little table and chairs with us ...

Only sometimes we have to bend their rules a little bit...
This sign says " sauf les ayants droits" wich means "only those who have the right".
We do not leave any clutter behind and we do not disturb anybody,
... so we gave ourselves the right!
But on an other occasion, we saw this one, wich was just a little bit more threatening ...


"No trespassing"
"Danger"
Minefield!!


Now really!!
Those French have a funny sense of humour ...
Or they are very protective about their properties!
