Yesterday we went to see Pont du Gard. We went there years back, when we went to Provence on a biking trip. Back then we walked in the river all the way from our campsite to the aquaduct. Yesterday we took the easier -though less adventurous path- by car, since the river was too wild to walk in at this point, after the floods. This place is magic. It is amazing that the Romans were able to build something this large and impressive, that still stands today, 2060 years later. And it reminds me of the wonderful first summer with my husband.

Today we went to the Camargue again.
From a walk between the ocean and the brackish water of the Camargue at a thin strip of land, just east of Saint Marie de la Mer. The red grass is a fantastic contrast to the blue water and the yellowish mudflats.
I finally caught a good picture of the white heron. We spotted so many of them today.
And of course the flamingos were there – hundreds of them.
This little blue wonder was hard to catch. I am not sure of the exact species. It has quite distinct tails, but searching google gave me no good guess, so lets just call it a blue. I had to donate quite a lot of blood to the Camargue, while standing still long enough to capture this guy. The mosquitoes here are ferocious!
Our kid spotted this incredible green lizard.
I still have no great pictures of the white Camargue horses. This is best shot so far. Shot through the car window at 90 km/hour. Not that we did not get close to them, but most of them are held in enclosures, and I want a photo of them in the wild.

The black bulls though I got! Well …nearly in the wild anyway.
