I was So Spoilt for choice this week when considering which Stunning Shots to Showcase in my Alphabe-Thursday "S" post.
So, I created two mosaics of photographs taken by the talented Mr B during our recent visit to the (Sh)Château des Ravalet.
Above: Scrollwork; Swag; Sunken grotto and Succulent plants Surrounding a Sign.
Below: Stone fireplace; Shadows; Shabby (Sh)Chic garden furniture for Sale; carved Stone window decoration & Still life Surround a Swan Swimming.
I hope that you have enjoyed this Stroll around the grounds of Ravalets Castle now Shimmy on over to Jenny's blog "Off On My Tangent" and See who else has Signed up today.
Thanks to a heads up from my friend Sarah @ Hyacinths For The Soul I am also linking this post to Claudia's Friday~ Finding Beauty~ meme @ Dipity Road and also to Laurie's A Few of My Favourite Things Saturday get together @ Bargain Hunting and Chatting with Laurie.
