Weekend in black and white

A visitor on my balcony a few weeks ago. More stunning b&w right...here
 

22!

This must be an advent calendar of sorts.
 

Snow angel?

Better not...
 

Winter wonderland

Sunday: minus 15 degrees C. Now: 7 degrees C, plus 22 degrees. It means that the snow and ice have mostly gone..Not so nice anymore, but at least we can walk, after 2 days of black ice.
 

A Monday Mural

German Snoopy! Wanna see more murals from all over the world? Easy: CLICK!
 

No white Christmas

It is still very cold, minus 11 C as I write. But everybody's hopes for a white Christmas have gone down the drain, with the snow slush: 

 

A weekend reflection

First snow in Strasbourg. More weekend reflections right... here.
 

Weekend in white on white, with a little black

7 cm/3 inches of snow fell on Wednesday and Thursday. It is a rare event nowadays...

More b&w here
 

This morning

 

Wrong place!!!

Father Christmas, aka Santa, Père Noel in French. Oh, you probably think he lives up there, North Pole? Well, you're soooooo wrong!!! When kids in France write to him (and probably some adults as well), the letters don't go to the North Pole. No no no, Santa lives in a much warmer place, due to his age. Right here in Libourne, near Bordeaux:

No stamps needed.

 

Cold

Winter is here. Minus 11 degrees C this morning, with sunshine. Snow and freezing rain expected tomorrow. We may have a white Christmas for the first time in ages... We'll see.
 

An octopus in a garden

I wonder where they got the idea from.... LOL

More Monday Murals here.

 

Nachos, quesadilla, tacos!

And not a single burrito in sight... Sigh. One of the very few south or central American restaurants in town.

Ok, quesadilla, come to daddy!
 

A weekend reflection selfie

 

So many lips blowing kisses at me! My, I am SUCH a lucky guy! LOL

Weekend in black and white

Seen in neighboring Germany, a few weeks ago. More b&w to be admired here. 
 

Summer is coming...???

 

In 6 months... Christmas decoration, the down under way?

L'épicerie

Nice place for a quick snack in town. With or without a glass of wine. Better sit inside, it's a cold and wet weather.
 

Must be Christmas time

This must be the most decorated house in town, to my knowledge. I had to queue to take this photo yesterday, dozens of phone photographers... I was the only one with an actual camera.
