An inquisitive old fart with a camera
After the fires: it will be interesting to revisit this view in a few months. Our guess is that the tree front right will not survive, but that most of the others – because they still have some green needles, even if they don’t look healthy in the photo – might be OK.
Going to buy fish, I noticed a truck, down the stairs, blocking my way.
Turned out to be someone delivering refrigeration equipment. And yes, it is 4-wheel drive. The driver was curious to know if I was German or French. When I lived in Germany, people sometimes wondered if I was French. When in France, I was sometime asked if I was German. Not bad for a ‘Murkan 😉

I wasn’t planning to take a picture with dogs in it. But as soon as I pointed the camera towards the silvery patch of leaves, they decided that’s where they should go. So be it.
After a bit of rain, the patches spared by the recent fire have become greener than ever.
