ReplyDeletemany thanks Denise, I do love the wold flowers that grow along the road side. Take care Diane
DeleteDoes anyone still use chicory to make coffee? It was certainly available when I was younger but I can't recall having seen it for a long time.
ReplyDeleteI have seen chicory in the shops (not that long ago) but I am not sure if it was here or in the UK. Something I would not look for normally as I hated it!! Hope you have a great weekend Diane
DeleteBeautiful pics.....
ReplyDeleteThanksPam, comment appreciated. Happy weekend Diane
DeleteDo you use a filter on your camera lens? I was just looking at a new camera today and the shop attendant was suggesting I purchase a UV filter.
ReplyDeleteYes I have had a UV filter on the camera since the day I bought it. Happy weekend Diane

DeleteI got a chuckle out of the look of and name of the Bladder campion!

I often wonder how they come up with names like bladder campion but I guess it is similar!!! There is a lot of that fungus around, I have never seen it before we came to France,
DeleteHave a great day Diane
Diane, your photos always bring me much joy! Beautiful scenes, thank you so much for sharing.
ReplyDeleteI am delighted that I can bring a little joy into your life, especially at the moment when things are a little difficult for you. Take care Diane
DeleteYum!! Fresh raspberries!!! Great photos. I am enjoying catching up.
