View from the island

This is a view of Saint-Aignan's church from the south bank of the island in the Cher River. Not much to say except that it was a nice spring morning. The trees were just beginning to leaf out. I took this photo just over a week ago.

The bridge across the river is just behind the tree on the left. The château looms up on the right.

Monday was rainy most of the day. It was a very light rain, only two millimeters in the gauge. Our neighbors across the street had a family gathering, easily eight or ten cars altogether. It's too bad they had to stay indoors.

  3. It's amazing to me, every year, when I look outside into our back yard, and see allllllll of the tree branches just barely starting to bud... and, I think to myself, "Soon, this will all be full of green!", and then, BOOM, the next thing I know, as I had just blinked and made it appear, everything is fully fluffed out with green everywhere--- just like that!
