Champignons, insectes, cyclamens, marrons et amoureux !

Champignons mushrooms Domaine de Mme Elisabeth Versailles
When you start looking down in the park of Madame Elisabeth's estate, you notice allsorts of lovely things (including an insect that VDP only noticed once she edited the pics! Can you spot it? It's in all three of the mushroom pics!)

Quand on regarde le sol dans le domaine de Madame Elisabeth, on remarque qu'il se passe plein de choses (ce qui inclut un insecte que VDP n'a remarqué qu'une fois rentrée chez elle en éditant les photos. Vous le voyez sur chacune des photos de champignons ?)

And then, when you look down onto Avenue de Paris which borders the park, you notice love is in the autumn air !

Et quand vous jetez un œil sur l'avenue de Paris qui borde le parc, vous remarquez que ma foi, l'amour n'est pas mort !

All Souls Day in a rural Austrian cemetery

.

 The graves had special candles and many fresh flowers today.


It is All Souls Day today and yesterday was All Saints Day.


These are special days here in Austria. 

This was just a small cemetery in rural Burgenland, but the graves were quite ornate.


I wish I could see it at night when the candles are lit.

A Foggy Walk to Work


Keeping a watchful eye on the early morning commuters on their way to work, the seagull tells me that this fog is all over Europe as well as London.

Out West

Garden of the Gods 2015-10-31 2 BW

Back in Garden Of The Gods park in Colorado Springs. John Wayne will be riding through the middle of the first picture any minute. The hunk in the second pic is called Balanced Rock and I would not hang around to the left of it. Pike's Peak in the background of the last one.

Costumed Tourists, Colonial Williamsburg, Virginia

 
 
A number of tourist rent costumes from Colonial Williamsburg to enhance their experience. The pass on the lanyard around the young squire's neck is a sure giveaway.
