It's Me, Sara Louise

Travel Supermarket hosts a photo blogging competition called, Capture the Colour, and this year Expat Tales has ever so kindly asked me to take part. Now as any Le Petit Village reader knows, photography is not my strong suit, but I thought I’d have a look through the old album and see what I could come up with to represent the required colours; red, blue, green, yellow, and white.

Red: RC Toulon fans cheering on their team at this year’s Top 14 rugby championship match held at Stade de France in Paris. Unfortunately all of that cheering didn’t help them to win and Toulon lost to Castres. Oh well, Toulon may not be champions of France but they are champions of Europe and that’s way cooler in my book anyway.

Blue: The tranquil port de Carqueiranne where Mrs. London and I like to escape to for some quiet time (i.e., lots of sushi and lots of rosé).

Green: L’escargot in my back garden in Le Petit Village, Alpes-de-Haute-Provence, France. I think he (I’ve decided that little guy is a he) makes the green leaves around him pop quite nicely, don’t you?

Yellow: Look at all of those fragrant spices for sale at the market. They sell spices at most of the Provencal markets I’ve come across, but this display is the nicest I’ve seen.

White: White buds bursting out of their blooms outside of my village. I have no idea what type of blooms they are but I walk across this tree everyday when Fifty takes me for my walk. Does anyone know what type they are?

As part of the competition, I get to nominate five bloggers to participate share their photos based on the rules of the Capture the Colour Competition who will then nominate five other bloggers to do the same. Don’t forget to tweet #CTC13 to @travelsupermkt with your blog’s URL to complete your entry.

In alphabetical order because that’s my favorite kind, my nominations are; Adventures of an Artist, Wife, and Mom, Danielle Abroad, Lazy Boleyn, New Life in Spain, and The Well Traveled Wife
