Whilst on the subject of marveling at ones surroundings...
This was the visitor on the upstairs terrace today.
Back to gathering...
These were items I picked up during the week of March 1 to March 7.

The sea is a cruel mistress.
I am back after a three week hiatus at the Old Faux Chateau, which is a whole other story.
Or... possibly a potential blog concept.
Now that the weather has really calmed down the old gal just doesn't cough up the trash she used to.
In fact, mostly things now seem left behind and forgotten.
The objet shown here were found the week of January 25 to January 31.
