It started with the village blues. Several months later I explored la couleur rouge. This week I've put together a collection of Languedoc-Roussillon greens.
The muted, mineral green reflections in the Canal du Midi
in springtime, olive green shutters against pale stone and silvery olive green trees. Brightly painted apple green boats, young fruit on the vine and various shades of green pear, fig and artichoke. Somber rows of moss green cypress trees, fresh and vibrant kelly green vineyard leaves and splashes of turquoise and sage.

You are a professional photographer, right?
Absolutely lovely! Thank you for the mini vacation!
I love these photos - the greens are so beautiful. Thanks for blogging -
Love these photos...everything looks so fresh & inviting. I don't know what I like better, the idea of cruising on the Canal or laying in the shade & munching on those yummy grapes. Hope there is another color series coming soon...

I agree. Poor old green is an often overlooked color, but one of my favorites!

I have tasted a green, seaweed covered cheese, but it is from Brittany. http://chezlouloufrance.blogspot.com/2008/12/la-fte-du-fromage-fromage-de-chvre.html
I wanted to only have photos from this region, so no green cheese.

Me too. Ours are olive green. I sometimes think of changing them to blue though...

I love shutters and rows of trees too. Cypress are so moody and gorgeous.

You could always drift along the Canal du Midi and stop to munch grapes in the shade on the same trip. :)
I love these pictures, the grapes are amazing and I saved that one. I need to come back and look at all your Canal photos. Thanks for stopping by and checking out my TdF Cuisine!

The landscape and vineyard views in this area of France have always reminded us a bit of northern California.

Merci!
Gorgeous pics! @mroconnell on Twitter alerted us to them.
Are they snails, or some sort of sea creature?

Thanks for commenting!
They are sea snails, bulots, which are fabulous with aioli.
Have you ever tried them?
