I'm in Europe but feel that this visual message needs spreading... so just ordered a bunch of these buttons and stickers for passing around. Take a look at their website for more positive thoughts to wear and share! dzynwrldbuttons.bigcartel.com

Spotted this super-condition Renault 4 GTL "Clan" in Le Blanc. The 4L had a 33-year production run from 1961 to 1994 with more than 8 million manufactured. The 1978 GTL had a 1.1 litre engine providing 34hp (DIN), allowing for a top speed of about 120kph. #BlueSkyMonday #Motoring #Renault #France

One of my several complicated collages composed of overlapping zig-zag angled shapes of blue cartridge papers. The original idea for the angled shapes is based on the fortified walls of the 17th century French military engineer General Vauban. #BlueSkyMonday #Art #Artwork #Collage #ZigZag

Just read the 386-page dystopian novel "VOX" by Christina Dalcher in four evenings, which is fast for me; at times I couldn't put it down. Very disturbing and not a million miles from how some in the current US Repugnant administration would think and act. #BlueskyBooks #Book #VOX #ChristinaDalcher

Between rendezvous in Tours during the week I again heard a familiar "honk-honk" and managed to grab a few shots of this well-known couple who whiz around the city center most days causing people to pause and smile and offer a wave... sounds a happy scenario to me! #Cycling #Tandem #Tours #France

Yesterday I spotted a 1927 Austin 7 driving through the central French town of Le Blanc, in the Indre department; the Sussex owners having a spin in the French countryside. This particular car was manufactured 98 years ago so will soon celebrate its 100-year anniversary. #Austin7 #Motoring #France

I've worked for newspapers so a hero is Paul Julius Baron von Reuter, the German-born founder of the news agency which bears his name. In 1851 he opened a telegraph office near the London Stock Exchange where in 1980 I took a photo of this memorial. #AlphabetChallenge #WeekHforHeroes #Reuter #Nikon

"The Fall of the Rebel Angels" is an oil painting by Renaissance artist Pieter Bruegel the Elder made in 1562. This 1000-piece jig-saw completed last evening shows a different take to my 'gold' post three days ago of the Angel slaying Lucifer statue on a church in Vienna. #Jigsaw #Artwork #Bruegel

I've never ridden a motorbike, but Barry Sheene was my hero racing on two-wheels. Here, at the TransAtlantic Easter meeting at Oulton Park in 1974, I caught him popping the victory champagne... as he caught me with the spray. #AlphabetChallenge #WeekHforHeroes #Motorcycling #BarrySheene #Nikon
