colour in France 3 fritillary


Some sort of fritillary feeding on wild thyme. There are so many different species of fritillary that it is hard to identify them without expert knowledge and some luck. French butterflies seem unusually frisky.

colour in France

It might have been a dog's life for some these last two weeks but some of us were having a good time. These pictures illustrate what we have lost by allowing our meadows and wilderness to be destroyed. This is a good picture to start with for someone who is green(ish) with envy

we're out!!


I can't believe it, life without parole and we are out. Hooray for Spot. Goodbye prison, hello Venterdon! What's that strange garlic smell, and why are they wearing berries?

aiding escapes


message from the warden


assisting canines to escape is strictly forbidden, especially when the warden is having a good time in the bas pyrenees [still no accents allowed]. The blue thing is called sky.
