The neighbor's dog-very friendly.
He follows us when he sees us.

The rear of the church at Mourtagne.

The green balls in those trees (if you can see them) below are balls of mistletoe; it grows here and there. Some trees have quite a bit, others none at all. It seems to only grow in some kinds of trees.

A small bit of woods. Many people hike through here.

A telephone pole made of concrete.

Some trees in an open field with mistletoe!

This region is rocky and hilly as I mentioned. There aren't a lot of trees around, but lots of sheep. The telephone poles are made out of concrete.

  We've been randonner, hiking outdoors, as the French say.

It's warm and it's been raining quite a bit, blah!

Still I'm glad to skip winter back in Illinois.The trade off is that it's really muddy.Lucky I brought my raincoat.

 Also I've passed some villages
and country churches while out walking. They have very interesting graves. They look short, low to the ground, like tombs. It reminds me of the Roman influence again. Yeah for art history courses!

A country cemetery.
