I'm back from the Cote D'Azur.

I am back from our trip to France.  We had a good time and travelled to a few new places. Here are a few highlights of our trip.
 
A feathered friend, aka a collard dove.


Me, otherwise known as St. Francis feeding the doves.

In Juan le Pins, with a flotilla of cruisers moored outside of Cannes for the Film festival.

Cap de Antibes

Picasso's house in Antibes.

Antibes

the marina at Antibes with the old fort behind.

St. Raphael.

you can't teach an old dog new tricks, and this one doesn't want to learn how to sit on a wet road.


the river in St. Raphael in flood on Saturday after very heavy downpours.
 
the next morning....



 

and later that day, backto normal levels.

Public garden in St. Raphael harbour.

The brown sea off St. Raphael, a result of the floodwaters and silt from Saturdays rains.

Back to Nice.

Our hotel looked out onto the airport and the bay.

performance art at the beach, even the pigeons seem to understand the principles by following the lines created by stone piles..
