A hectic week, out and about, here and there in normandy. It's at busy times like these that I like to keep my camera by my side, just in case ...
Today I pulled off a small road leading into the valley to take pictures
of this pretty château. A private home, still lived in, but with
gardens and grounds open to the public
Just love the splendour of the long alley of lime trees leading up to the château
Keeping my eyes open and finding everyday beauty .....
one of the things that makes me tick ...

Ahhh I feel calmer already just looking at this gorgeous serene images, I can almost smell the intoxicating air, beautiful Sharon!
