Traveing with ReforMaiden: Merignac

Following are some random shots from our first morning in France. These pictures were taken at the local park, which is very beautiful and peaceful. The park is lush and verdant, with trees everywhere so that even on sunny days it is still quite shady. The park is also very extensive, so that it takes a little while to walk completely around it. Looking at the pictures will only give you a small idea of what it is like. As you view them, you should imagine you are here with me in the cool early morning...

The waterfall is roaring under the stone bridge as you walk over it... You pass the beautiful school and see the swans swimming in front... You pass an old building and field and hear in the distance ducks quacking, roosters crowing and fish jumping in the water... You pass people who are murmuring softly in French... Everywhere there are ancient trees and beautiful foliage... The flowers and roses are in full bloom and there is color everywhere you look, as far as the eye can see...

Very beautifully described - yes I can imagine being there - quite a contract to our drought looking farm. Thank you for sharing your experience.

What a lovely scene! Goodness, it makes me as green as those trees... :-p I sure wish I could have stowed away in your suitcase!
