Our year in monthly photos and wishing all my followers all the very best for 2017 and the coming holidays.

We will be away in a few days time to celebrate Christmas in England with my father-in-law. Computers will be staying at home; only the Nexus tablet will be with us for emailing and maybe the odd single photo on the photodiary.  I find  that blogging on this tablet is beyond me, so I hope to resume when back at home early in the New Year!
Three more posts to go yet on our trip to the USA, but meanwhile here are some of my favourite shots from each month this year!

A few of my favourite photos from September.

My apologies, but La Rochelle part 2 will follow soon!  I have just realised that I have not edited many of the photos I took then and time is not on my side at the moment!  So much fruit and vegetables in the garden which need bottling etc, that my blogs are taking second place to the kitchen, I am afraid. I will get back to normal eventually! These photos have been on my photo blog, but I know that many of you do not follow it.  I hope that you enjoy them!
La Rochefoucauld chateau


and its reflection in the Tardoire river!


A hover-fly  and  a bee on the garlic chives.


Autumn is arriving!

The last of this year's roses.


Sunset.

Green woodpecker.

Peacock butterfly.

An autumn Marigold brightens the day!

Mr Sparrow paddling and shouting it to the world, it seems.

Rainbow

Last but not least, we have had a lot of green lizards around this year.

I will catch up on all your blogs eventually; I promise!
