May Flowers

Friday and this weekend marked the annual three-day Flower Market in my village, which is always a colorful way to spend some time, especially if the sun is shining. And shine it did, on Friday, with the day's temperatures reaching record levels for this time of year! So I made my way into town via the shady trail rather than along the very sunny lake road.

As usual, our local château was the site of the expositions

with a detailed plan of which exhibits and exhibitors could be found where.

Even château outbuildings, such as the former stables to the rear of this photo, were utilized

with an eclectic grouping of objets to tempt entry.

The former caves (wine cellars) displayed various floral displays and bouquets,

as well as table settings, displaying caterer's wares.

But the main attractions were to be found in the jardins, which were the formal entry point.
