dedicated to the curious minds

Curious minds asked  about the painting, which was the subject of yesterday's post. It was not a door, it was rather hidden outside the building , the artichochoke and the  ladybug were painted on a side wall of the restaurant shown below ( follow the blue arrow pointing at the artichoke).

The better view was to the other side, facing Lake Annecy.
And another detail of the restaurant, this time the painted item was a lamp.


Updated after the third comment to include Jientje's new ABC- in-  idioms  meme!
I wasn't ready to participate but it's a lady's right to change her mind, particularly when the matter is a fun and challenging meme, like this one. Read all about it here.  I'm giving it a try in the spur of the moment, using the pictures of the current post for this week's letters (A and B). 

At the drop of a hat

If you would do something at the drop of a hat, you'd do it immediately.


I would go back to this place at the drop of a hat!





Big picture
The big picture of something is the overall perspective or objective, not the fine detail.


You got the big picture with this post's first pic!
