L'hiver, dans les champs, l'époque des labours dessinent des lignes graphique qui se perdent à l'horizon dans les grandes plaines normandes de Seine Maritime
In Belgium, the lily of the valley is the symbol of Labour Day, which is celebrated on May 1st - today that is! So I was glad to find some of them flowering in my garden: they look delicate and their scent is so sweet.
Happy Labour Day to all of you!
As one of the most iconic images of Scotland, Eilean Donan is recognised all around the world. Situated on an island at the point where three great sea lochs meet, and surrounded by some majestic scenery, it is little wonder that the castle is now one of the most visited and important attractions in the Scottish highlands.
Although first inhabited around the 6th century, the first fortified castle was built in the mid 13th century and stood guard over the lands of Kintail. Since then, at least four different versions of the castle have been built and re-built as the feudal history of Scotland unfolded through the centuries.
Partially destroyed in a Jacobite uprising in 1719, Eilean Donan lay in ruins for the best part of 200 years until Lieutenant Colonel John MacRae-Gilstrap bought the island in 1911 and proceeded to restore the castle to its former glory. After 20 years of toil and labour the castle was re-opened in 1932.
West Point Lighthouse has endured many storms since the Spring of 1876. It is the first and only lighthouse built on Prince Edward Island that is painted in black and white, as originally the traditional red and white markers were not as visible by mariners before sunset.
In Belgium Labour Day falls on 1st May, International Workers' Day, and the Lily of the Valley with its delicate scent is its symbolic flower.
This year Labour Day is not like other years: no demonstrations, and not the real day-off feeling for most people, since most of us have been at home for several weeks now. Most people would LOVE to return to work!
Port-en-Bessin (France) - Ce marin-pêcheur amarre son coquillard au quai. Dans quelques instants, la cargaison de coquilles-saint-jacques sera débarquée.
Pour compléter la série faite de plans larges de navires qui passent l’écluse après une nuit passée à racler les fonds marins, place à un plan plus serré d’un marin-pêcheur.
Ces professionnels de la mer font un métier difficile, très physique. Ils sont engagés dans une lutte incessante contre les éléments, souvent au péril de leur vie.
Cependant, contrairement à une idée largement répandue, ils gagnent très bien leur vie ; du capitaine au mousse. L’organisation à bord est collective et tous les membres d’équipage touchent un pourcentage sur les ventes. L’image iconique du marin attiré par une insatiable soif de l’aventure n’est plus ce qu’elle était.
Port-en-Bessin (France) - This fisherman moors his coquillard to the quay. In a few moments, the cargo of scallops will be unloaded.
Following wide shots of ships returning to port after a night spent scraping the seabed, a closer shot of a fisherman was essential.
Fishermen certainly have a difficult and very physical job. They are engaged in an incessant struggle against the elements, often at the risk of their lives.
However, contrary to a very widely held idea, they earn a very good living; from captain to ship's boy. The organization on board is collective and all crew members receive a percentage of the catch. The iconic image of the sailor drawn by an insatiable thirst for adventure is no longer what it used to be.
Une belle journée printanière à la campagne et c'est le temps des labours...
Les nuages obstruaient le soleil par-ci par-là créant ainsi des jeux ombre et de lumière dans les champs...

This Christmas bauble was hand beaded with sequins and pins by me. I have a Christmas tradition. I bead Christmas baubles for a select group of friends every year. In this case they are for a friend, who like me, elects blue as her favourite colour.
Each bauble is 15 centimetres in diameter and contain hundreds of sequins, varying in number depending upon the complexity of the pattern and the type of sequins I use. Most sequins in this bauble are 5mm in diameter, except the large butterflies which are 12mm and the central flower which is 8mm. Depending upon the colour of the sequin, I will use either a gold or a silver pin to attach it to the bauble. I always leave the flowers and stars until last, allowing a gap in the sequin chain to pin them in.
These baubles are smaller than some others I do, however because it is a complex pattern which starts from the inside and is worked outwards in ever larger circles, each bauble takes approximately 2 to 2 1/2 hours per side.
It is however, a labour of love which I do to pass the time throughout the year.

Photo prise à Chazemais, département de l'Allier.
J'ai pris cette photo avec 300 mm de focale, j'ai aimé le contraste des couleurs entre l'herbe verdoyante et la terre labourée sans oublier la présence d'un agriculteur avec son tracteur entrain de labourer.
On the afternoon of Wednesday 14 September 2022, Class 66 loco no. 66063 leads 66083, both of DB Cargo, labouring out of Bristol on the approach to the Langton Court Road overbridge. This train was 6Z85, the Tytherington (1533hrs) to Little Kemble loaded stone working.
