I have found it quite difficult to think about posting since the terrible acts happening in France last week.
It all seems quite superficial to post but nothing will change by me being silent.
Life must go on.
Solidarity. |
Last Sunday many people in France and in other countries across the world went on marches to remember those killed in Paris and also to continue with freedom of speech.
We went to Pontivy and followed the march and also enjoyed a walk along the River Blavet.
The Blavet in some places has been canalised and therefore there are lock gates and weirs.
The sun shone and it was amazing to see daffodils and primroses in flower. Nobody has told them that it isn't Spring yet !
I took quite a few photographs and looking at them now has helped lift my spirits.
Today the sun is shining we've been out cutting wood to put by for next winter.

Almost a Rothko! |
The images below were taken on one of the weirs.
I just love the forms and colours.
I can see some inspiration for paintings here.
Hello Diane. Have just found my way here after months of absence. What stunning photos ...... LOVE the Rothko's and have serious covetous envy for those weir photos. Will enjoy seeing what they inspired you to make/create. Hope this years passes more happily for you ... a rotten beginning with the attacks in France. We had some in Sydney and Brisbane in the last few months. You tend to think we are away from it all but it creeps along insidiously .... Anyway - BRIGHT thoughts and moments for the rest of the year. We hope.
