As many of you know, I have been away from my garden for a while due to Covid 19 travel complications. It is so great to be back! Unfortunately I missed the dahlia and lily seasons but there is plenty going on right now to compensate and to feed my appetite for macro floral photography!
Céret, the old fortified town where I live, is in a beautiful part of the world in the Pyrenees. We are tucked at the Mediterranean end where the light is so good that many famous artists have lived here over the years - in fact our fabulous Museum of Modern Art was started with ceramics donated to the town by Picasso and they form part of the permanent exhibition. It is a town rich in culture and reflects the influences of the Catalan region which stretches from Spain up to the most southern area of France. The Catalan language is still taught in local schools and, if taken as part of the Baccalaureate exams, extra credits can be earned as a means of encouraging students to keep the language alive.
