Why I am here Ah....the first day of Spring. I love it. I have been waiting for this. And what a perfect day, after several days of rain and clouds. Today was warm, no wind, and perfect for a late afternoon walk. I went out and about, easily gone for 2 hours, and returned with a fresh bouquet of herbs, one of the main reasons I knew I had to live here.

French cows A familiar site (and sound) hiking portions of the Cathar trail in the French Pyrenees, are happy French cows. Like other European mountain cows, some wear cow bells around their necks so the herd can be heard. It is such a pleasure to come upon them on the trail. Lazily grazing on the pristine mountain grass, enjoying the beautiful views. This is a shot I took hiking a portion of the trail from Cucugnan toward Mt. Bugarach in the distance. Mt. Bugarach is the highest peak in the haut 08/28/2015
