Autumn in Gruissan

Another beautiful sunrise.


Could someone tell me what these are called..Rudbeckia??

We went on a wonderful walk from Gruissan plage to Narbonne plage. About one and half hours away. Came across some interesting objects!

Remnants of a beach party;-)...







Beautiful sky!
Just liked the contrast and composition.
One of many pretty buttterflies in this region.
Dolphin or Porpoise? Porpoise I think!
So sad!!
The longdistance of a one legged runner!




Montie helping me with my tapestry! Not!

Crescent moon.


Autumn in Labastide

Lovely autumnal days in Labastide.
You can just make out a rainbow across the valley...magic!

Shades of green and burnt sienna. What you can't hear of course, is the wonderful sound of the trees swaying in the breeze and the rushing water below...very meditative.
