We’ve done some traveling this month and this week so for our final photo, let’s hop back to the lovely village of Plombières-les-Bains. If you’ve been following my blog for some years, you’ve seen and read about this but just a brief review. Les Bains means “the baths”, referring to the hot water springs discovered by the Romans. We didn’t try the baths (really, really hot water just doesn’t sound exciting in the middle of a hot summer), but we returned a number of times to enjoy the various things to see and eat. This is a glimpse of a garden we saw while climbing one set of the steep steps leading from the main commercial part of the city to where our vehicle was parked on a much higher street. With great exercise comes great beauty, Grasshopper.
Becky and Jude, thanks for hostessing these two challenges once again. It’s been fun.

Wishing you safety during your travels.
I returned safely on Wednesday, Frank, after a good trip. Already planning the next one. 😉
Wonderful
Bright and easy on the eyes.
There was much beauty in this town.
With great exercise comes great beauty, Grasshopper.
Oh I do love that line, rather motivational. I’ll try to remember it.
🥰
Very pretty. I have enjoyed all your pinks this month Janet. I wonder what you will find for May.
Jude xx
Glad you enjoyed them, Jude. It’s fun to have an overarching theme for the month. I appreciate you hostessing.
Thanks Janet.
So soft and dainty. I have a new appreciation for flowers now, as I try to grown my own. I hope one day my blooms might be half as brilliant.
I hope you can grow some there, Hannah. Check with a local nursery and see what grows well where you are.
what a lovely way to finish – and I’d love to get in the baths. Not hot here at all, could do with some warming up!
As I told Tish, I’d be happy to send you about 10°F!
Perfect 🥰
Hi, Janet, I appreciate the Grasshopper quote, too! Lovely flowers! 🌞
The village was full of beautiful flowers and lots and lots of stairs so lots of opportunities to exercise and then enjoy beauty. 🙂
Very pretty! Lovely shot, Janet!
That village is full of beauty.
