One last walk around Mortagne-au-Perche

I guess I'm posting too many pictures these days. Too many in the same post, in other words. The dilemma is, how many photos are enough? how many are not enough? It's like the old saw about letter-writing. I wanted to write you a short letter, but I didn't have time. So here's a long one. I don't have time to choose which pictures to post and which to put back in the archives. So I post too many... maybe. You can enlarge the ones you find interesting. You can just scroll through the others.


This morning, I thought I might have to break down and see if I could figure out why Blogger wouldn't work with Firefox any more. That might require a day's work or two day's work. Or I might never figure it out. Then, a hour ago, I started up Firefox for the day, opened the Blogger app, and everything worked the way it had until a few days ago. Somebody at Google fixed some bug while I wasn't looking, I guess. I'm glad I hadn't started messing with it.


So here are some more pictures that I took in Mortagne. It's amazing how there are no people in all these photos. Where were all of the nearly four thousand people who live in Mortagne? Hiding from me and my camera? Oh, that's my American friend Evelyn in one of the photos below. Enjoy.

  1. Post as many photos as you want - it is your blog!

    1. Thanks for the reminder. I just think people will look and read if they want to, just as I do the blog only because I want to.

  2. That's a good question, about where the people all are.
    My mom used to shake her head in wonder, as we drove around neighborhoods in the summer... she, who dearly wished she had a screened-in porch, or a deck, wondered why absolutely no one was ever on their front porch, or deck, or out in their yards. :)

    1. Maybe it has to do with air-conditioning. In France, it's often when the weather is very hot that people disappear into their thick-walled, cool, stone houses. Maybe it was hot in Mortagne in late August 2011. I don't remember.

  4. I am loving all the pictures! I have only made two trips to France and I doubt there will be anymore. So, I am using your beautiful pictures in place of visits.

    1. Thanks for letting me know that. At this point, I'm reliving all my travels in France over the past 25 years (when I started to take photos) by writing this blog.
