Here’s the rest of vendredi soir (Friday evening).

Driving back to Pascale and Jacky’s. This is still on Ile de Ré. Doesn’t it look exactly like a Monet? The red poppies (called coquelicots) are eye-catching in private gardens but absolutely stunning massed in huge fields.

More gorgeous flowers, these in Pascale and Jacky’s backyard.
Jacky trying to BBQ after the rain started and sent the rest of us inside. David’s compassion is apparently stronger than mine or Pascale’s.

Gotta love le BBQ!
The poppies are stunning! Thanks for sharing!
From Barb’s friend, Helen.
You’re very welcome, of course. I tried to comment on one of the posts on your blog the other day, but failed for some reason. I’ll try again when I get a minute. Right now I’m in the final stages of preparing the dossiers for applying for long-stay visas. So much work!
Looks maaaarvelos…..Ray
Les fleurs……for-mi-dable!!
