Nain miné par une histoire de pont!


Le mois d'avril touche à sa fin et il est temps de découvrir le Scavenger Photo Hunt du mois! 
April is coming to an end and it's time I unveiled this month's Scavenger Photo Hunt!


1 – PAIN / LOAF

Ce mot évoque immédiatement le bon pain croustillant et ceux de cette broderie ont l’air si bon! 
 This word immediately made me think of good crusty bread and the ones on the cross stitch embroidery look so good!   


2 – MINE / MINE

J’aurais pu poster une photo un peu floue des terrils du Nord qui est LA region minière de France par excellence. Mais une mine, c’est également ce qui fait des trous dans le sol, un peu comme mon Filo dont c’est le grand jeu en ce moment, et bien sûr dans les endroits de passage où on est le plus susceptible de se fouler une cheville !
 I could have posted the blurred picture of a coal tip taken on trip to the north of France which is THE mining region of my country. But a mine is also something that makes holes in the ground, like my Filo whose present game consists in digging holes in the places of passage where you are most likely to sprain an ankle of course! 


 3 – BORD / EDGE


Comme celui des falaises à Etretat où je me suis promenée avec mes filles, il y a 13 ans de cela! 
 Like the edge of the cliffs in Etretat where I had a walk with my daughters, that was 13 years ago! 


4 – NOIR / BLACK


Comme un chat, le Chat Noir, ce cabaret du Montmartre de la fin du 19ème siècle à Paris avec la célèbre affiche de Steinlen qui est restée le symbole du Paris artistique de cette époque.  
Like a cat, the Chat Noir in French, a cabaret in the late 19th century’s Montmartre - Paris, with a sign by Steinlen that has become so emblematic of the artistic life of Paris at that time.  


5 – PONT / BRIDGE


Ici le choix a été difficile car j’ai photographié de nombreux ponts un peu partout. J’ai donc choisi celui de Millau, dans le sud de la France, par Norman Foster, le pont le plus haut du monde avec 336,4 mètres, soit 1104 pieds ! Très impressionnant quand on arrive dessus en voiture ! 
Here the choice was very difficult because I have photographed many bridges of many different kinds. So I had to pick out one and it will be the Millau Bridge, in southern France, by Norman Foster, the highest in the world with 336.4 metres (1,104 ft)! Very impressive when you arrive on it with your car!  


MON CHOIX / MY OWN CHOICE


Mon choix sera pour cette image de mon nain de jardin: 
“Hey, petit nain, que fais-tu à traînasser ainsi au bord du bassin alors que Blanche Neige t’attend de retour à la maison après ta journée à la mine de diamant?” 
“ Mais c’est que je ne peux pas aller plus loin puisqu’il n’y a pas de pont!”  
Dans ce cas, essaie d’être aussi rusé que le chat noir à tes pieds qui a trouvé la solution pour rester bien au sec sur l’eau!”
My own choice is for this picture of my garden gnome : 
“Hey little dwarf! What are you doing here, loafing about on the edge of the pond while Snow White is waiting for you to come back home after your day at the diamond mine?” 
“Well, I can’t go any further! There is no bridge to cross the pond!” “Oh, then try to be as ingenious as the black cat at your feet that found a good solution to keep dry on water!”
 Thank you for your visit and thank you to Kate for hosting the link-up party!

  1. Oh, I love ever one of your pictures, so very very lovely. And your 'word play' on the last is so clever, well done.

    The bridge de Millau is incredible - I have seen it on television and part of me would love to drive across it, and the other part would be quite terrified!

    1. Thank you, Jayne! The word play is a bit far-fetched this time... But nevermind since I arrived too late to post the pictures on Kate's blog. It's true that driving on the Millau bridge requires good resistance to vertigo!

  2. Great picture of you and your daughters. I am sure they look (and act) a little differently now.

    1. Thank you, David. Oh yes, they look quite different today, and so do I (they for the better, and I ...) but each of them has kept their nature.

  3. Oh that looks delicious. In this variant, I have not seen a pattern. Very nice.
    A pretty picture of you and your daughters.
    The bridge of Norman Foster I find very interesting - now his second building which I can marvel at.
    Have a nice week, greetings Martina

    1. Thank you, Martina! I adapted a pattern published in the last issue of Créations Point de Croix, Un Weekend à la Campagne, it's a model by Monique Bonnin and I had already found it on the internet before. The contrasting colours create a beautiful impression of relief.
      Best wishes for a nice week! Sandrine

  4. I like tour photo hunt! It's always interesting to see, which pictures (and why!) do people choose, how the photos reflect their inner world, their thoughts and feelings.
    Have a nice last day of April, Sandrine!
    Greetings from cloudy Hungary :)

    1. Thank you, Szvetlana! The choice of the pictures is not always easy, I usually try to introduce one creation among the photos and it's a good thing I have a full month to think over it! Greetings from at last sunny France after a grey, cold ans sad month of April. Sandrine

  12. A lovely selection for the words. I think the bridge is amazing & like you I had so many to choose from. I did with mine too, as Oz is a big country with many different types of mining. I enjoyed your little play on words at the end. Thanks for sharing & take care.

  16. Wonderful photos, Sandrine. The one of you and your daughters is my favourite.
    The first one made me smile and want to see the film "Ratatouille" again. I think to have seen the bridge in a film too and would love to see it and drive on it.
    Happy May! Bisous!
