- A RED WALL - I've been photgraphing my supermarkets again Fantastic, this one, love it! This time I went inside and found something graphic to photograph. It's an attractive plate but I can't imagine eating my toast or a piece of tart in it. I didn't buy it, just took a photo. (…)

- FLORAL ART 3 - I'm still playing about with plant holders and this one I copied from the net, a pity (dommage) it's not my idea. I think it's very amusing and I'm sure my grandson will love it. It's not just an ordinary plastic dinosaur, if you press under its stomach (ventre) it makes a noise (bruit) How about (…)

- SUNSET IN PARIS - coucher de soleil - This was taken from the top of the Centre Pompidou coming out of the Matisse exhibition. I had bought a ticket on Internet but when we arrived at about 3.30pm (a very bad time) the queue for the exhibition was so long! We visited the permanent exhibitions and at 6 pm there was no queue. We were (…)

- PLANTS IN A JACKET - Hey! No need (pas de besoin) for fancy frames (cadres compliqués) in this one! Very funny, no? I like it, I wish I had a white wall in my house where I could put one like this. I'd go to Emmaüs and buy a jacket for 5 euros - or why not a fur coat (un manteau de fourrure) - and put plants and (…)

- ART WEEK AND SEEDS - My latest addition to Arbrecourt art week I bought the chair for 5 euros in the local Emmaüs, spent 3 times that on paint and a blue pot and here is the result. The plant is a jasmine and is supposed to climb up the chair; it's a work of art, it's not to sit on. I must admit it's not my idea, I saw (…)

- MORE FLORAL ART - This has been a really creative week! This has a more modern conception, I like it too. The two pieces of silver card reflect different light and change colours, quite original. This one's a bit easy and simple and very temporary: I just used the width (largeur) of the frame to stand a small pine (…)

- A CELEBRATION - I'm delighted (enchantée), this year I won't have maize in front of my house! This calls for a celebration. This year it's barley (orge) so it won't grow 2.5 metres high and block my view for 5 months. It has just started to grow (pousser) in spite of the lack (malgré le manque) of rain. It will be (…)

- GESTURE FOR THE PLANET! - My good deed (action) for the planet today was a trip to the recycling plant to throw away (jeter) my old computer. I arrived just in time for it to be taken away (emporter) by a big impressive lorry. I am proud (je suis fière) to be part of the 'natural ressources' of the 21st century!! I am going (…)

- FLORAL ART - This weekend I suddenly remembered I knew how to do other things than take photos, so... I made this. Well, first I went shopping to buy some frames (cadres), some plastic boxes and some plants. I found some very nice frames for under 5 euros and I was very pleased with the result. I didn't only (…)

- SURPRISE INSIDE A CHINESE CABBAGE - I cut a chinese cabbage in two and look what I found! it was beautiful inside, with tiny buds (boutons minuscules) and flowers. It's like a bouquet framed (encadré) by its own leaves. I took a closer photo: It's delicate, perfectly protected, until I discovered it! (…)
