A bird on a hedge

It is small and difficult to see on the photo, but the black "thing" in the curve of the hedge is a bird, it is called in french "merle", and it can sing very well. As I was a teenager I did like to hear at them from the window of my room. I took this photo not far from the town-hall of Croix. If you do not see well the bird click on the photo to make it larger. In the back you can see the back of some buildings which belong to the town-hall garden.

A mill in the town Croix

A you see this mill has a Christmas decoration. As I was young we called this town district near ours, the Quartier des Deux Moulins, it means in english town district of the two mills. I never seen the second mill, and this one was re-built since about fifteen years only.

Merry Christmas

This photo taken in Croix, is a Christmas decoration of an house, not fare where the place where I live as I was a teenager. At this time the houses had not Christmas enlightments on the road or street, only public buildings had some, but since a few years it is a new fashion to enlight the private houses on the road or street side.

I toke this photo in last autumn 2005 but I want to publish it because I find it very well how they made it. In this town- hall we married more than thirty years ago.
