    What beautiful photos. Do you have any idea what type of flower that is? I’ve seen them before…so unique. Thanks for sharing.

      Thanks Gwen, honestly I surprised myself, I had no idea I was capable of taking such beautiful pictures!
      I have no idea what flower it is but we can ask our friend the expert Holly :) http://wavianarts.blogspot.com/
      I went on her blog to copy and paste her URL and I found that she posted a picture of us, when we first met, she is cute :)
      We have to meet the 3 of us when you will be here Gwen!

      I was thinking about the same thing Deb! My first thought when I saw how beautiful my pictures turned out to be was :”I am going to do the same in Sudan!”
      I have noticed that we have lots of ideas in common, like what you said on my previous blog about Sex and the City 2, as if you were reading my mind!
      Thanks Deb!

      Can you imagine Scott!!! I still cannot believe it myself!!!! I have no idea how it worked and I was so sick, exhausted and dehydrated during the hike….

      I have to admit that I take my inspiration from two blogger friends Holly @spleeness and Debra http://bagnidilucca.wordpress.com/

      Thanks Scotti!!!

    How do you even read the title of this post? Haha.
    Beautiful flowers! The insect that looks like a worm freaks me out a little… but all the other pictures are truly beautiful. Nature is so cool :)

    Thank you for sharing those beautiful photos from a great adventure! Well, except for the millipedes which will now haunt me with their zillion yellow legs.

    I saw your title and panicked that I’d have to read a post in French. Then I realized all I had to do was look at beautiful photos! Phew!

    C;’est magnifique for the photos, and many many many happy returns of the day!!! Hope you spent it divinely, as you deserve. Any restaurant pictures, maybe?… ;-) I loved that restaurant post you once had.

      Hello beautiful lady!!! My fellow Gemini :)
      We went to this wonderful Chef restaurant for dinner for my birthday and Jim told me that I should take pictures and blog about it, but I told him “No I just want to enjoy the experience” because last time I was so busy taking pictures… Now you made me feel sorry I haven’t :(
      Anyway I had a wonderful Mussels dish for starters and Gnocchi and Truffle for main dish, and they offered me the desert (because it was my birthday) and it was Peach and blackberry pie with Strawberry ice cream and a coulis of cherry and caramel. I licked the plate!
