a tomato, my grandma & I

My grandparents were used to make veggies in the garden and my grandma, until the day before her death, made the garden proper and wonderful. One day, we went to pick up some veggies and I noticed those 2 tomatoes. But it was a dry and hot day ; Nothing exciting to take a picture of. I asked my grandma to put some water over the tomatoes while I was taking a shot. It looks like dawn dew but it’s fake !  We had so much fun doing this photo. We burst into laugh a couple of times and I even had to put my camera down because I could not stop laughing.

But whenever I watched to this photo, I can clearly see my grandma pointing the watering can over the wooden stake, smiling and laughing. It was just one of our lovely moments spent together in the family house. She was thrilled when she  saw the result of the photo. She loved it and asked me to frame it and put it on one of the house walls.

I am proud of this photo because it occurs that you only need a little help and a kind of “magic” to transform a tremendous moment to a lovely photo.

In my "jardin extraordinaire"....

Sometimes, you have a place in your heart where you feel so secure and happy... I like a lot of places, but the only one for me is my family house's garden... My great-great grandparents started the job, and we are keeping on the work... A part from a few "unhabitants" - animals we have, most of the garden is full of trees (about 27) and flowers...
One of the roses tree is quite old, because my great grandmother put it and let it grow... So we are used to call it "Greatgrandma's roses"... It's the first which pops up on spring and the last one too for Christmas... Do not even ask how it comes !

Here are a few flowers we cherish...

Nos petits amis...

Chez nous, il y a toujours quelques petits amis qui se disputent nos câlins et notre attention...

Voici quelqu'uns de nos "petits camarades" parmi les plus importants à nos coeurs... Il est à noter que notre Triton marbré a maintenant 10 ans (4 sur la photo) et, a, semble-t-il, fondé une famille !
Nos chats ont presque atteint l'âge de raison et le scarabée-rhino (qui a été remplacé par un nouveau d'année en année !) s'éclate toujours autant quand il s'agit de sauter de fleur en fleur !
