The road leading off the main road continues past the “driveway” to my s-i-l’s house, past another house, and into the forest where, however, it becomes a trail rather than a road. It’s the perfect place for a walk: past piles of cut trees, ant hills, another house, alongside the meadow, flowers everywhere, ancient stones covered with moss. Perhaps there’s a bit of Celtic magic somewhere as well.
This, that and the other thing 
The woods are so beautiful. Thanks for sharing !
My pleasure. Thanks for walking with me.

Ooh, I wonder what those plants in your last image are?
Sue, I meant to look them up, but forgot. I think of them as Dr. Seuss flowers, as they look like something he would have dreamed up (at least at this stage they do.) But I’m quite sure that’s not what they really are. 🙂
janet
Haha! 😀
Thanks for taking us along with you on this beautiful walk. I love that scraggly blue flower. Any idea what it is?
No and I really need to find out. I can ask my s-i-l if I can’t find it.
janet
enquiring minds need to know
I know; mine does, too. 🙂
It looks like a calm and quiet place to walk. What a blessing you were able to go there!
I’ve been able to go almost every year for some time and yes, it’s definitely a blessing, one I very much appreciate.

A lovely place for a walk, Janet. Your flower photos are beautiful. Excellent use of depth-of-field.

Thanks, Allan. I’m glad you enjoyed the photos. The flowers were gorgeous.
Lovely…
You’d love it, Sally.

Oh, my gosh, those stones blew my mind! They definitely look like human placements. Wow!
Marian, they are human placements, just rather old. 🙂 Sorry if my wording mislead you.

Your working was as beautifully clear as your photographs, Janet — I was agreeing with you. It’s MY working that isn’t clear! heh! I’m just stunned to see them just sitting around in the woods, not surrounded by fences and studied by anthropologists. 😀
I like those last flowers too, Janet. 🙂 I found some wild orchids while I was out this afternoon. Always exciting! Hope you’re ok now your daughter’s gone.
Wonderful Janet! Is your sister in law French? Just figuring this all out!
Nope. She’s American but has been in Europe for most of her life. My b-i-l is originally from Quebec. 🙂
So beautiful. I think I did feel a bit of Celtic magic seeping from that deep green forest. Thank you for sharing 🙂
Thanks for coming along, Madison. It’s a joy to share.
janet
How lovely. There is definitely more than a whiff of the Celtic here. 🙂
The Celts were in this area. 🙂

Lovely images Janet. What a wonderful-looking place.
It’s a beautiful part of France, very different from their former home in Provence or from places like Paris or other large cities.
janet
It looks very lush. 🙂
It’s in the Vosges forest and definitely lush. Also lots of ticks this year, unfortunately!!
Thank you for taking me on your peaceful walk. I love all of the photogrpah but the moss on the rocks is very unusual. I haven’t seen many photographs of this type. Great captures on all.

Glad you could come, Issy.
janet
What a beautiful place to walk, and live! Your s-i-l is a blessed woman to be there!
That she is, Deborah, and I’m blessed to be able to visit so often.
janet
You are indeed! “)
[…] was I inquiring about this? I was trying to comment on Janet’s lovely post. I wanted to know the name of the flowers in the last picture. If you’re a flower guru, check […]
