We’re coming of a super busy three weeks now with time to breath before another weeks tours before the first vacation to Provence this year. We’ve had an amazing bunch of clients so far this year at Le Vieux Moulin It’s a bummer how fast time flies when you’re having as much fun as we did. I haven’t had much inspiration with the camera lately, but still shooting at interesting things for fun.
Wednesday was a family trip to the market in Sancoins. Fresh strawberries were in season along with the beginning of cherry season. The Loup de Mer and Coquille St. Jauques were very fresh from the fish monger and made for some delicious suppers the following nights. I went very simple with the Loup and pan seared it to medium rare and had it with some simple butter/cream potatoes with glazed carrots fresh from the market. It’s amazing how good food is when it’s in it’s natural freshest state. No photos of it though as I’m still working on lighting for food shots, not enough time in this world to learn everything we want.
Here are some photos from the week in my life…
Baby chickens from the live animal room at the market in Sancoins
Monster rooster across the isle from the babies, might have been Daddy. Probably not but he did start posing when he noticed me taking his photo.
Slugs and snails are a bountiful pest here in central France. We caught this one in the garden the other day and decided photographing him before relocation to the forest down the road was a good idea.
Wandering around the island at home, waiting for the dragonflies to come back on a gray day. These are the first lillies to come up after the flood last week.
One of the first apples from the tree we planted in Tree’s memory. The label said it would not produce fruit for 3-4 years and his tree has about 20 of these soon-to-be delicious specimens on it. Pommier r Blanche du Canada is what the tree is called, with sweet/slightly sour fruits.
I suppose that’s all for now. I’ll be back in a couple weeks with more updates on Julien and photos from Provence.
