I went rust hunting again today! I found some fabulous photos on a white-painted structure near some silos not far from where I live. Here is an example:
The title is "The Turkey" (la dinde)! Can you see it?
I like these abstract macros, they amuse me, they are different they teach me to look at the small details in life. 
I also found some on a skip which in reality was green, but came out blue on the photos - mystery.
This one looks like a big fish with a hood and its mouth open to catch little red shrimps.:)
To come back to reality, I also took a photo of the countryside:
I love these flowers, they are very light and airy, but they won't keep in a vase, they don't last long - and I think they are poisonous!

Summer today
By carolweb on Sunday, April 18 2010,
The weather was beautiful today, hot and sunny with no cold wind like the other days.
The swimming pool in the garden is now open after 6 months under a green cover. The water is clean, clear and blue.
Fortunately I didn't find anything like this in it!
It looks like a jellyfish, doesn't it? It's rust and scratches on a blue skip - my second one.
Now I have put the summer cover on the pool and I'm waiting for it to heat up: today the water was only 18°, a bit cool for a swim!
After 14 days of entries in this blog, there will be no more for a week because I'm going to Paris. Instead of rusty skips and tractors the photos will be completely different when I come back. Instead of the fields (champs) and woods (bois) I will be surrounded by buildings, traffic and people. I can tell you the first photo will be of the Eiffel Tower, I love it, it's amazing and I always go to see it when I go to Paris.
So, if all goes well, in spite of strikes (des grèves) and volcano ash (cendres), I'll be back on the blog on Monday 26th April. Bye for now.

Rusty skip : benne rouillée
By carolweb on Thursday, April 8 2010,
Today I just had to return to the rusty skip to see it again and take more photos; this time I got very near and took some close-ups.
Unbelievable!, No?
It look like a curious creature in the sea being attacked by a smaller one, doesn't it? My title for this one is "Leave me alone!" (Laisse-moi tranquil!)
The skip is blue and the rust shows where the paint has split (éclatée). I love modern,abstract art, and I love blue.
Here is another one:
The title is "Falling fire".
I took a lot of photos but I have to choose the best. Perhaps I will take a photo of the skip so you can see it. Or shall I keep the mystery?

Radishes and abstract art
By carolweb on Wednesday, April 7 2010,
I just couldn't resist this photo from the local supermarket, what vibrant colours!
I didn't buy any, I didn't notice the price and I didn't read where they came from. But I looked on Internet to find the nutritional value of a radish! No value you think? Well, read this:
Nutrition Facts and Information about Radish:
"Radish has excellent levels of copper, manganese and potassium. It is also a good source of calcium, magnesium, iron, phosphorous, zinc and sodium.

Unbelievable, no?
That's all supposing they're organic and not polluted by chemicals and you don't eat them with bread and lots of butter.
Tomorrow I'm going back to the shop to buy some!
After going to the supermarket I drove round the town to take some photos and I was very excited because I found my first rusty skip ( benne rouillée). :)) Explanations are needed here.
On the redbubble site the photos I prefer are in the group Abstract Urban Art (lien en bas de page): I like abstract art and these brilliant photos are often of rust and paint marks on skips. I finally found one today, a blue one. I took a lot of photos, here is one of my favourites
.
I didn't find a title, can you suggest one?
