Today's Flowers

These unpretentious nasturtiums were blooming
in Marie Antoinette's garden at Le Hameau,
the place where she and her courtiers played
at being "simple folk" while living at Versailles.

Another old photo (i.e., way before digital).
This little bridge leads the way to Marie
Antoinette's "petit hameau" at Versailles,
where she and her attendants would play
at being milkmaids and shepherdesses.
