Mots pour la pluie /Words for the rain
Les bateaux n'étaient pas les seuls à faire des ronds dans l'eau ce matin..
Il y avait aussi les gouttes de pluie.
~~
Boats were not the only ones to make circles on the water this morning..
Raindrops did it too.
"Petite pluie , tombe du ciel en jolis diamants, ta mélodie est un enchantement"..
~~
"Small rain, fall from the sky into pretty diamonds, your melody is an enchantement"..
"La pluie est le mode de pensée de ceux qui ont le goût pour une certaine suspension du monde.Dire que l'on aime la pluie, c'est affirmer une différence."(Martin Page)
~~
"The rain is the way of thinking of those who like a kind of suspension of the world. To say you love the rain means to assert a difference."(Martin Page)
"De l'orage philarmonique, chaque goutte est une musique, qu'on écoute et que l'on goutte, c'est le bonheur au goutte à goutte.."

"Que retiendra l'univers des cercles faits par nos bras alors que notre étoile sait devoir renoncer à l'eternité? Le ciel devient invisible sous le crachin, et chacun ne sait plus que l'eau est toujours en mouvement."

Vieille neige / Old snow
J'aurais aimé pouvoir dire que ces photos sortaient de mes albums et qu'elles faisaient partie de ma collection personnelle, mais ce n'est pas le cas.
Pendant Carnaval, ces photos étaient exposées le long des tribunes afin de promouvoir les sports d'hiver dans l'arrière-pays et de soutenir la candidature de la région aux jeux olympiques de
2018.
~~
I would have liked to tell you that those pictures were mine and came from my private collection, but it's not the case.
During Carnaval time, they were exposed along the galleries, to promote the winter sports in the mountains behind the town and also to sustain the candidature of the region to the next olympic winter games in 2018.

Une vieille affiche : Peira-Cava est un petit village, à une heure de Nice dans les montagnes, la première station à notre portée.
Le pique-nique près de la rivière; Nous sommes à la montagne, mais ces messieurs portent tous le costume et la cravate, les dames sont en robe longue; tout le monde porte un chapeau;

As I like old pictures, I loved this idea..Here are some of the prettiest pictures.
Les dames sont en jupe à la neige!
~~
I like to see those costumes, those hats, the old material for skiying..
The ladies are wearing skirts to walk in the snow!
~~
Some young courageous women dared to wear pants!
~~
A beautyful rank of soldiers called here "alpine hunters", standing proudly..
~~
More skirts!..
~~
An old sign: Peira-Cava is a very small village near Nice in the mountains, only an hour away from here, the nearest place to find snow and to ski.("Sports d'hiver" means "winter games")
~~
A meeting near a small mountain's chapel..
La tabourets sont des pliants, mais la vaisselle sur la table n'a pas dû être facile à transporter..
Vieux temps, joli temps, jolies photos...Jolies vies?..

The picnic near the river; we are in the mountain, but every man is wearing a costume and a tie, and every woman has a long dress; evryone is wearing a hat;
The stools are folding, but plates , pots and glasses on the table were probably heavy to carry until there..
Old times, pretty times, pretty pictures...Pretty lifes?..
