On Sunday 16 February the walking club outing left from La Guerche. Here are some photos of where we went.
Daffodils along the side of the old Roman road that winds up the hill to the plateau above La Guerche.
A gnarled old willow stump at the end of a small plot of old vines.
A group of mountain bikers crossed our path in a hamlet and we exchanged cheery greetings.
A spring, with a very big old box tree beside it.
A small hamlet in a valley.
These beagles were not out hunting but were part of a pack being exercised in the forest by a huntsman and his young family.
Wild Primrose Primula vulgaris (Fr. Primavère).
Male Brimstone Gonopteryx rhamni (Fr. Citron) on
Long-leaved Lungwort Pulmonaria longifolia (Fr. Pulmonaire à feuilles longues).

I always thoroughly enjoy your posts about these walks and the photos you take. A great form of armchair travel. Such a splendid blue pulmonaria.
Glad you enjoy these posts. I always have 2 or 3x as many photos as can be politely inserted into a single blog post. FB is getting the benefit of more and more of them. Pulmonaria certainly is the most amazing colour. Always a joy to see.
I too love these posts - except for the feelings of jealousy they nearly always trigger! I'll have to investigate FB.
