As you've probably noticed I love colours, contrasts and unusual associations.
So, today here are just white photos. 
Ghostly tent roofs (toits); the sky was grey and there was no contrast. I'll not tell you where they are and you can continue dreaming(rêver).:)
A little more contrast here and interesting sharp-angled shapes (formes à angles droites).
A last one:
Very soft (doux), gentle, romantic. I'll not tell you what it is and you can continue dreaming.
These photos are a dramatic contrast to the barbed wire one - imagine them together!! That's an idea! Perhaps I'll try and put contrasting photos together (ensemble). But up to now (jusqu'à maintenant) I've put the day's photos (du jour). I'll see.

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.
Vitamin Content: Radishes are a very good source of vitamin c and vitamin k. They also contain riboflavin and vitamin b6.
Calorie Content of Radish: 100g of radish contains 16 calories only. Radish is low in saturated fat and very low in cholesterol. They are also very good source of dietary fiber.
Health Benefits of Radish:
Radish has anti-bacterial as well as anti-fungal properties. It is beneficial for cough, respiratory problems, digestive disorders, asthma, bronchitis and liver and gallbladder troubles".

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?

redbubble.com
By carolweb on Tuesday, April 6 2010,
In April 2009 I found, by chance on Internet, and joined the art site redbubble.com.
I love this site: there are hundreds of themed groups for all different subjects that organise challenges. I enjoy competing in the challenges and seeing other people's work. It's a site in English and most people come from America, Australia or South Africa, but there are people from all over the world.
It changed completely my photos, now I take abstract "art": blocks of colours, forms, everyday objects.
Click on 'my folio' link - en bas de page - and see my folio and look at the names of the groups I belong to.
One of the groups I belong to that I like very much is called "Wall of the world" (lien en bas de page) and is just for photos of walls! There are some fantastic unusual photos.
This is my latest wall photo. What do you think of it? :)) The title is "Bleeding wall" (Mur qui saigne".)
Or this one?
I'll show you some of my other photos another day.

Today's macro
By carolweb on Monday, April 5 2010,
Yesterday it was my first ever macro, this is my latest, from my garden.
These are cherry flowers and the tree is covered with them. I hope there will be lots of cherries also so I can make lots of jam. I love cherry jam.
I also love clafoutis.
Here is the recipe:
Butter a dish, fill with cherries; mix 50g of flour with 100g of sugar, two eggs and 1/4 litre of milk; pour over the cherries; cut small pieces of butter on the top. Cook in the oven 180° for 25 minutes. Delicious with vanilla ice cream! Yummy.
But today I was busy because my family came for lunch, so I didn't just take photos of flowers.
The weather was beautiful and warm and my grandchildren enjoyed themselves in the garden.
