Meetings

1st ONE One evening I was in my room, on the balcony, and I heard a strange noise outside , looking right and left... nothing! , Then, looking to the sky !... Oh my God some gigantic balloons hover just above the Loire river... I watched them for awhile and go back to my room... when another noise, closer, caught my attention... a glimpse to the sky revealed nothing, but the noise was really close, like, in the garden !... I grab my camera and get down to the garden . Noise was strong and very close, after few steps I can see the balloons in the fields very nearby ! What a great surprise !

2nd ONE A warm June afternoon, I went out of the living room onto the terrasse and swimming pool... and a surprise was there, only a few steps away... 2 snakes, big snakes under the sun, on the warm stones, without noise, I went back inside, took my camera and here are the photos of these "nice animals" !! But soon they took off! and I let them go, seeking their homes in the fields !! Much too frightened, I'm sure !
