The leaves of these lovely old olive trees were silvery in the wind today as we returned home from an excellent lunch at the Auberge du Presbytère to celebrate Lo Jardinièr’s birthday. Excellent food beautifully presented and served – we’re so lucky to have this within easy reach driving through countryside like this. And the view from our table was this holm-oak covered hillside next to the lake where we sometimes swim.

Beautiful trees – glad to hear you had a good day out 😉
The trees look beautiful in that light.
Beautiful trees and that blue sky is amazing!
Is that where the wind is coming from! We’ve nearly been blown of our hillside in the last 2 days. A really stiff northerner, which is most unusual for this time of the year. An the best late birthday wishes to your man from me too!
Th emovement of the trees in the wind and the silvery leaves is picture perfect
That’s a wonderful photo of the olive trees bowing to the wind, it’s such a difficult image to capture. Happy birthday to Lo Jardinière!
