A visit to the magnificent garden Fukutsu-en near Limoges when the azaleas were in flower. Unfortunately it was VERY cold, 1°C at 10o/c and not much more at midday, but the garden was superb and we were blessed with fine bright sunshine despite the temperature.
A shooting with chorégrapher and dancer Gaëlle Lorth trying to capture the beauty of her movements and those of the costume fabrics.
A very disappointing visit with 4 friends to the ornithological reserve Le Teich - despite a good time of year and time of day classed as excellent by the reserve, we saw very few birds. The high point of the visit was seeing a Water Rail at just a few metres away, the first time I have photographed this species.
The 20 february I visited the exhibition of illuminated sculptures in the gardens of the Bishop's Palace in Limoges. It was a fine night, the only one of the week without rain, and we spent a pleasant hour or so amongst the impresive sculptures.
Friday 15th December I spent a very enjoyable day at the Beaublanc stadium watching some matches in the WTA Ladies Open. I saw the end of a doubles match then the 1/4 final between Christina Bucsa and Lois Boisson and later the 1/4 final between Harmony Tan and Anna Blinkova.
