Robert Schuman’s Gardens
Scy-Chazelles, France
Robert Schuman was an amazing man, born in Luxembourg, he grew up to be called the ‘Father of Europe’. He spent most week-ends at his home and the last few years of his life there, during which time he attended church daily. His garden is beautiful and peaceful, so I took advantage and put my feet up and RELAXED. In this photo you can see his house thru the trees to the right and the church he attended to the left.

Gate to Robert Schuman’s Home
Scy-Chazelles, France
The garden’s at Robert Schuman’s house are beautiful as you will see by other photos that I will post. They are well manicured and kept up so well! This photo was taken from inside his yard, so this is what people would see as they left his home.
We were very happy that our friends, Marlies and Helmut Werner, took us out to learn about this humble and extraordinary man!

Cascading Waterfalls
Luxembourg City, Luxembourg
We had a wonderful walk with our friends Marlies and Helmut Werner thru the quaint and beautiful streets of Luxembourg. After awhile it was time for a rest, so I put my feet up and RELAXED in front of these beautiful cascading waterfalls.

Venus Flytrap
Luxembourg City, Luxembourg
On our walk around Luxembourg, we went to the Natural History Museum, there we sat and relaxed for a little bit. While there I noticed some Venus Flytraps and was looking at them when Marlies came over and explained how they work. It is quite amazing!! When an insect or spider crawls onto a leaf and touches one of the tiny hairs, the trap closes and they are then inside and the plant consumes them. I found on Wikipedia; that only after a second hair is contacted within twenty seconds of the first hair being touched, is the trap triggered, this saves energy on objects that have no nutritional value. Nature is wonderful!!

Home of William Shakespeare
Stratford Upon Avon, England
The River Avon majestically flows through Stratford Upon Avon which is a beautiful, quaint village where William Shakespeare was born, raised and died (1564-1616). He is remembered throughout the city. He was buried in Holy Trinity Church, whose spire you can see in the distance of this photo.

Arched Beauty
Saint George’s, Cardiff, Wales
Our GPS did something interesting and something we really liked, it took us out into the country. The streets were tiny, luckily there weren’t to many other cars on the roads. There were high hedges, so we couldn’t see a lot, but once in a while things would open up and we’d see some beautiful vistas. This is one of those, we had to stop so I could take this photo of this arch with two horses passing by.

Wisteria
Wales Countryside
Because it rains so much, the flowers throughout England and Wales are beautiful! I really wanted a photo with wisteria growing over a house and I got this one as we drove thru one of the little villages. I had seen a similar house with wisteria in a previous village, so I was ready as we drove by, one of my drive past shootings!
