It was late afternoon, after a grueling day in the office and crazy drive home with an accident closing the main road I needed to travel on. I arrived home late and the sun was already low in the sky and the coolness of the september evening was already being felt. I tried my best to assemble a rag tag gang of garden actors for a special little photo shoot for my dear friend Geninne's birthday. No one was cooperating. The spider refused to stretch out her legs, the snail took forever to come out of his shell and the bee I dare say was frozen. I promised them all fame and fortune and if they could pull it off I might even consider hiding them in my suitcase when I head to Mexico this winter. Let me know if you think it worked.
Hope you have the most amazing day celebrating with all your wonderful boys, including the four legged one.

Such sweet wishes to your friend, Margie !!! I join to sing : "Happy birthday to you, Happy birthday to you, Happy birthday to you Geninne, Happy birthday to you !"
Hope, Margie, you could relax a little bit yesterday evening, as your long Wednesday might be another tiring day at work. Lot of thoughts and kisses !

These sweet images are sure to make Geninne smile. I'll leave the singing to Nanou, I wouldn't subject anyone to my morning voice.
A great, big happy birthday to Geninne and happy Wednesday to you Margie !

not one to wish birthdays on anyone, I would prefer to have stayed at 19...
But on a positive note, I love your blog, I love your rocks, and even though my dog has an affinity for snails (she picks them up and carries them around in her mouth but does not crunch them) I would rather keep a goodly distance from snails and bees and spiders too... Your pictures are great!

How clever! Very fun indeed and put a smile on my face. Genine will be smiling away on her birthday.

My favorite is the one where the snail looks like he's kissing the mermaid rock! :)
