France Revisited



Yellow said to Brown:
inside you are a clown.
Brown said to yellow:
You're a cheery kind of fellow.



Featured: I wanted to share
a few more photos of my
trip to the French Alps.

Beautiful photos, Amalia. I wish my cracked, stone steps looked half as photogenic! xx

Patricia said...

Ha, my old school uniform was brown and yellow - and yes, we were cheerful. What a cute poem, and how lovely are those pictures of France. The village is so sweet, and so are the pastries. Lucky me, I will be going there next month :)

Kim said...

You always make me smile in a happy yellow kinda way, Amalia. =) Oh to go to the French Alps again....lucky you. Gorgeous photos. Love that sweet pony.

It's always fun to "revisit" our favorite places. What are all our photos for if not to enjoy and I enjoyed each one of your photos. I'm looking as I enjoy my morning coffee and oh my your photo to the pastries! Sweet poem. Happy weekend Amalia......

Nancy Chan said...

The house in the 2nd picture reminds me of our village house many years ago. We also chop and cook with firewood.

Red Rose Alley said...

Amalia, your photos always make me smile. I especially like that precious pony. And those desserts! When the girls visited France, one of the things they loved most about it was the desserts and food and the charming cafes.

Wishing you happy August days, Amalia.

Such wonderful photos, Amalia!
Love the very naughty pastries ...... now I want some! Tee hee!
I don’t know how you think of your poems, you are so clever!
Do you know what the yellow flower is called? It looks so similar to our “Cowslips”.
Beautiful post Amalia! I am writing to you separately about the stitching btw.
Hugs,

I've no idea about the yellow flower, it doesn't grow around here which made it all the more beautiful to me.

Sara - Villa Emilia said...

French pastries... and brave little flowers. Oh la la! :)

Thank you for the lovely tour! xx

Yellow is one of my favourite colours so I enjoyed these images from France. If I recall my high school French correctly, I think yellow = jaune in French.

Tom said...

...Amalia. thanks for this gorgeous tour of France. Where are we off to next?

Jim said...

Thank you, Amalia, for posting the pictures of sights from your French Alp Visit. We went around them to the South one time we visited France and Italy, a five week Spring visit.
Mrs. Jim had her French/English dictionary out to help read the La Petite Ruche wall sign. My guess was the Children's Menu but when she saw the word for Honey we knew I was wrong She has had three semesters of College French.
So I went to google:
"Sometimes called a “down-sized Hermitage,” La Petite Ruche is from young vines and is all freshness and easy enjoyment. “Petite Ruche” means “little beehive,” an appropriate name as the vineyards were formerly used for bee keeping."
I came here from Tom's Weekend link. Oh yes, we landed from a Mediterranean cruise at Haifa and stayed eight nights in Jerusalem way back in time.
