weekend snapshot



home **

Well, I guess I am cheating because this shot is 2 weekends old, taken towards the end of our recent vacation. My camera is being repaired and I haven't taken any new shots with my old camera...This is a beautiful view of French vineyards in the Beaujolais region. More precisely, it is Morgon, great scenery, great wine! We visited a local producer in the area and spent a beautiful day.

The weekend's surprise was that DianeCA and then Dackel Princess graciously awarded me with my first award in Spanish, look at this:


Thank you very, very much, ladies, I am very honored ! However: yours are the true brilliant blogs!!

  1. Oooo... a vineyard! Did you stomped the grapes and get drunk drinking all the red wine? hehe... I'm trying to imagine you lifting your skirt and stomping on the grapes!

    Congrats on the award!

  9. beautiful country over there. I've always wanted to go there, but it really doesn't look as if that is ever going to happen. So I'll just have to enjoy all of your photos.

  15. It looks beautiful but so different from here ! The white chalk cliffs with the very green grass and yellow hey squares is absolutely gorgious and if you add these cute little old cottage houses ... I take pictures and pictures !

    And congrats on your blog award. You deserve it. There is always something amazing going on over here.
