Isabel's Book

For my birthday, Isabel made a book using images from this blog.

It must have taken her hours.

When I look at the pictures everything comes flooding back.

Such complicated patterns.

And chickens to boot.

Two Doors

Muriel from South Africa has very kindly given me this award! I am very flattered and honored.
So now I get to pass it on.
This is fun but I sometimes feel bad not to give it to everyone - which I would. I suppose it's just a way of telling people we enjoy their contributions to Blogworld. Please post or not to suit.........
Tracey of Pink Purl for always being upbeat and artistic and celebrating 2 years in Blogland.
Constance of Rochambeau for enriching and delighting us.
Gretel of Middle of Nowhere a wonderful writer, artist and creative spirit.
Willow of Willow Manor who likes the same books and movies I do.
Karen Cole of Artsortments because her latest sketches of people at the beach are too good to miss.
Kristen of Kristen's Brainstorm who is an amazing mom and lives in Marrakech and is recovering from a very serious illness which she writes about in a most thoughtful way.
Suburbia from Moments in Suburbia because she makes me remember what it was like to be a mother of young children and what fun it was.



I am always intrigued by the complexity of the detail surrounding doorways.
Here one on rue Riad Zitoun lakadim.



Another on the same street with all sorts of notices for businesses including a lawyer.

Even More Windows

I'm not sure why I have an obsession with the bus station..........
However, as bus stations go, this is a pretty nice one.



Note the fig tree and the hibiscus.



The villa at the Jardin Majorelle - definitely full-on BLUE.



Blue and yellow at Essouira...........



.......as is this rather alarming still life of wires. Oddly, the electricity manages to work most of the time.
