Red.....


Every leaf speaks bliss to me,
Fluttering from the autumn tree.
Emily Bronte


There is a harmony in autumn, and a luster in its sky, 
which through the summer is not heard or seen, 
as if it could not be, as if it had not been!
Percy Bysshe Shelley


 Today was a good day.
We explored in the late afternoon.
There was a theme.
Red.

 Rushing past...

 falling leaves
hide the path
so quietly
John Bailey
Autumn, A Haiku Year.

 Then we came to the Japanese Garden.
Which was serene and surprising.







 Then a church with gorgeous wall art.

 Little cherub in the red brick wall.
We also went to the Musee St Raymond.
Excellent exhibition about the archaeological dig 
that has been uncovered in Niel.
We watched an interesting video at the entrance of the museum about the dig site and the amazing artefacts they were finding. I said to French husband it will be great when they put it all together and put it all in a museum. Then i realised that this WAS the exhibition we had just walked into. 
Oh we laughed.....
DOH!

All of the red is intense and amazing. The little red bridge is my favorite. Don't forget the Dreaming of France meme on Monday.
