Had a lovely afternoon at Villefagnon rugby club, their first home game of the season... It didn't go their way, their hard work wasn't quite good enough...

A foggy walk this morning, it was nice to see familiar objects appearing out of the fog...

Back from a walk, vineyard showing some nice colours, then in a small wood the primary school children, with teachers get to build structures in it...

The weather was nice for this mornings walk...

A sunny country lane and a row of trees changing colour...

Good morning, I managed to see the full moon this morning just before it set... Looking the other way the rising sun was just hidden by trees...

It's kicking off here...

Some sunshine after this mornings rain...

Just back from a walk and we've got a lot of gulls in a freshly plowed field, never seen this many before...

Good morning, another cool and clear start to the day, caught this tree casting it's shadow onto the other trees...

Good morning, had a good day at the French Superbikes final round at Circuit du Val de Vienne... Got some good views of the racing during the day under cloudy skies...

Good morning, a couple of pictures of this mornings dawn...

If you see this, post a bridge...

A rock in a rock pool...

Me and Moxy on the beach earlier today...

High tide just now on Oléron...

Went to the beach to hopefully see the last sunset of summer, unfortunately to much cloud to see it, but those clouds did provide some nice colours...

Took Buddy up to the Phare de Chassiron, he liked standing on the cliff edge, brought Moxy back, he also liked the cliff edge at times...

Good morning from Île d'Oléron, starting the day with a walk to and on the beach, a few showers out to sea... Buddy had fun chasing a stone and digging in the sand... Now for coffee...

A good day today wandering around Chateau de Oléron...

Buddy checking out the fields as the sun rises... The sunrise a moment later...

Buddy Bedlam and Moxy Mayhem enjoying a wrestling match... It's not doing that bit of grass a lot of good...

Weather was perfect for an evening at the rugby... An Angoulême win over Dax topped it off...

Good morning The sun trying to break through the clouds, a little sun on the bottom of them...

This evenings twilight...

The moon is looking good at the moment and looking the other way the lane nicely lit by the rising sun...

Latest beer discovers from the local supermarket, the brewery, Brasserie Nautile is in Nantes and I hope they live up to the names and the labels...

Moxy Mayhem and Buddy Bedlam making sure they don't miss any interesting scents earlier...

Good morning, another interesting sky....

Some of the local wildlife seen on a shaded walk just now...

Yesterday we picked up a rescue dog to join our family, please say hello to Moxy...

I think I've found my new favourite biscuit...

A lot of House Martins congregating in the village this morning...

A skyscape from just now on a walk across the fields...

Bonjour...

Out on a walk and the rain isn't far away, then as the rain came over us there was a Cumulus cloud catching the sun...

Good morning, low cloud scudding across the sky, seems clear above it and the recent rain seems to have helped the flowers in the old lavoir in the middle of the village...

A very good evening watching Angoulême in their first #ProD2 league game of the season last night, very entertaining and a win against Provence can't be bad...

A dark low cloud nicely framed by a higher cloud... A few showers but they seem to have gone, but a bit on the windy side...

A nice walk after the thunderstorms and a bit of a clearance, but a good chance of showers this afternoon...

Wandering around a local town earlier and the road next to the fire station made me smile...

A nice sky scape through the trees earlier...

Buddy waiting for me to catch up with him under a mostly clear sky this morning...

A good evening in Angoulême for a friendly game against Bordeaux, a big crowd was a good way to start the rugby season at Chanzy...

Out on a walk earlier and enjoyed the plants growing in the middle of a lightly used road and a lonely little sunflower with a bee feeding on it...

Some rumbles of thunder, a couple of lightning flashes but mostly off to our west, a few spots of rain...

Walking up to the local vineyard, a nice cumulus building on the ridge in the distance, then Buddy checking out the vines...

Bonjour, a foggy start to the day with thunder and rain predicted for early evening after a sunny day...

A lovely end to the day, although it's noticeable that the evenings are now drawing in...

Still overcast but temperature is much more bearable and Buddy wants to get home for his dinner...
