Vernègues

My inspiration for this blog was from a recent trip to Provence. It was here that I played with my new camera and thought it would fun to share our trip with you. Enjoy!



I love crosses - you will always see some from my travels. The one to the left is from Vernègues. Vernègues is a commune in the Bouches-du-Rhône department in southern France. French communes are roughly equivalent to incorporated municipalities/cities in the US.

What beautiful pictures! I love the knowledge you share. When I read of your garden I immediatley thought of your mom ♥ I think the iceberg rose is easiest for you to grow because it was hers, and she wants it there for you.

I love crosses, too, and you have some beautiful shots of them.

Can't wait for more!
