"The gendarmes of Die (Drôme) intercepted around thirty persons yesterday evening, suspected of participating in a traffic of mushrooms towards Spain; more than 600 kg illegally picked were seized: indeed, the authorized picking must not exceed 5kg a day per person and for personal consumption only".
Obviously sarcastic comments burst out, arguing that the gendarmes would be better to chase after hallucinogenic mushroom criminals..
Not having a great knowledge of mushrooms, I prefer buying them at the market, it is safer!

ReplyDeleteBonjour Sylviane. Merci de ta visite sur mon blog.
ReplyDeleteJe vois que tu participes à plusieurs défis de peinture! Bravo. J'adore aussi ces exercices où on se dépasse avec des sujets parfois moins confortables.
J'aime beaucoup tes sketches aussi.
Quand aux champignons, je sais seulement que les plus beaux ne sont pas toujours les meilleurs. Comme toi, je me fie à la cueillette de l'épicier. Bonne journée!
HI, Sylviane. Mother changed her name to add some sophistication to her life! She felt the double name, Mary Joyce, was not as regal as she. We all enjoy my mother so much. At 85 years old, we never know what she will devise.
ReplyDeleteP.S. Your mushroom story and painting are great. Thanks for telling us.
ReplyDeleteHi there Sylviane!... Love these mushrooms and the tale that accompanies them!
ReplyDeleteVos bananes... c'est ma favourite peinture !Tres jaunes... tres jolies! Bient fait Sylviane!

Bruce

Thank you, Dean, I appreciate a lot!
ReplyDeleteSylviane, the stems on your mushrooms are positively luminous! I also love the movement caused by the curve of the stems - a wonderful painting altogether!!!
ReplyDeleteI don't know if they are edible, but they make a beautiful painting!
