Really, I was just looking into the sun when I took this self-portrait today at about 3pm. I was again in one of my favorite Nantes spots (and today, at 80+ degrees, you’d be right calling it a “hot” spot), the Jardin des Plantes de Nantes. The park is about a 5 minute walk from our house and it is a delightful place to read. So with Melinda off to Christine’s to help with their remodel, and with Chloe sunning herself just outside our door, and with Ella content to read in the cool comfort of the house, I took myself to the park.
If you are interested in what I’m reading, it’s “The Hunger Games.” And if you’re further interested, I’m reading it on a Kindle, the eBook reader from Amazon. I bought a Kindle just before leaving for France and am quite taken by it, somewhat surprisingly. It’s so lightweight and functional that I may be converting to becoming less of a book reader and more of an eBook reader.
Maybe you now have a furrowed brow?

And nothing in your post about the background in the photo??? What is that wonderful design? Is it just grass or other plantings? Tell All Please!
I’m not sure how to describe it other than to say it’s a decorative display of plants. So much in this park is spectacular, just like this.
It makes me think of yin and yang.
May I suggest Sunglasses to get rid of the squint and the furrowed brow! Also much better for your eyes! ( “Yes, Mother,” says Andy)
Interestingly I am also reading The Hunger Games :-).
Have to keep up with the kids!
