Blooming magnolia

Whenever I see magnolias, I know: spring has arrived! 

Free earworm!

I know... It's awful... I have sometimes (very rarely though) an evil streak... LOL

A Monday Mural

Weird beastie...Is it eating the tree, or does the tree come out of it??? Or trying to grow a lemon tree in a ...is it a fish??? This reminds me of a famous Hieronymus Bosch painting. 

The text above, le sans pépins, means the seedless one. With or without seeds, I like lemon juice on my fish. If it's a fish, of course...

A Steller's sea eagle, a beauty!

Weekend reflection in black and white

One more shot from a stroll in the Orangerie park, by almost summerly weather. Well, snow expected here tonight and tomorrow, the first, and hopefully last for this past winter.

More b&w here, as usual on Friday. And more reflection posts here.

It is the CDP theme day as well, about symmetry. Have a look!
 

Perched

Enjoying the sunshine. In France, according to tradition, babies are born in a cabbage. But here in Alsace, storks bring the new born babies, special delivery. How is it  in your tradition?

 Strasbourg, as it was 434 years ago.

It's an art!

The art of tossing pizza in the air, and not getting them on your head. Many years training, I suppose.

A sign of times

This is Isaak Iselin. Isaak was a 18th century swiss philosopher of history and politics. I really wonder what he would think of today's world...

More b&w right...here.
