This image was taken in the village of Les Milles near Aix en Provence at the beginning of June 2005 during the annual Transhumance - the gathering of the sheep and a blessing before heading off to mountain pastures, a time of celebration and joy.
I know it is now August but this photograph gives me a great deal of pleasure
The gentleness of character of this Gentleman of Provence moved me in a way that is difficult to explain. Perhaps I wish to exude the same gentleness.
Réal is a lieu-dit (a hamlet) of the village of Roquemaure in the Tarn (81) Departement, France.

And something tells me you do Wilf. There is no other portrait that could show France better!
Wilf, I always like your people photos, and that is what attracted me to be a regular visitor to your DP. This is a nice shot but I should add my favorites are still the photos of little Mr Luca ;-)
Merci Eric. It is a pleasure to know that you drop by to check what is happening here.
And Lisi it is such a pleasure to know you are a regular visitor, especially when you mention our beautiful grandson Luca.
Tomorrow is a special day for Réal DP, can anyone guess why?
Awww. He looks like such a kind soul. I wish I could know him.
Beautiful. You feel like you could sit down beside him, just shoot the breeze, and both of you enjoy it. :)
