Spring into Summer

I think this is my favourite time of year here. 

After the exhuberance of the Easter Parade / Corso, featuring floats conveying gigantic Devils chauffered by Mad Hatters...


shabbily statuesque Wolves...



 and hysterical nuns in Citroen 2CVs....





very suddenly, everything changes and within two weeks there are poppies in the hedgrows...



 flowers in the market...

 
 
and on the balconies... 




blossom on the trees...




buds on the vines...




tables on the pavement...




ducklings on the Etang...



 
and optimism in the air!  What will the summer bring?  A home to call our own, we hope...

    Two things.
    1. I'm not sure you took that photograph of the vines.
    2. Are we to believe that the international visual aid for Optimism is Alex Breckman eating a banana. One shudders to imagine Pessimism.

    That picture of Alex is so ridiculous it really made me miss him.
