#Photooftheday Ford across a small river (Millevaches, France)

Most of them have wooden footbridges, or the traditional ones made from giant chunky rocks balanced on other rocks.

(Or the "livestock wall that's also a bridge" variant. Super-fun to tiptoe across without losing balance 😅)

@herissonrose
a thousand cows 😂

@moonrabbit Well, there are a LOT of cows here.

Pine trees, bees n' cows!🌲 🐝 🐄

(Apparently, it refers to the little lakes.

There are a lot of bogs and wetlands up here, because of all the rain we (used to) have. Vache was local slang for them)

@herissonrose
pine trees, bees, and cows sounds like a potential rewrite of head, shoulders, knees and toes (knees and toes)

pine
trees bees
thousand cows (thousand cows)

it's been a long day sorry 😂

@moonrabbit OH!! Snap. You got me.

I've totally sung that before.

(The town heraldry is lit. pine trees and bees)

Trees, bees, and trees n bees.
Trees, bees, n trees n bees,

And Cows and Owls and Champignons and cheese!

Trees bees n trees n bees! (Trees n bees)

It has indeed been a long day (urrgh).

My commiserations re: whatever pernicious happenings are plaguing you over there.

It's everywhere these days. Need to set some bees or angry cows on them.

@herissonrose
ha! i love it.

and thank you. they just keep happening  

i hope things are at least relatively uneventful there 

@moonrabbit Alas, they do just Keep On Happening 😓

(At some point this will stop. It HAS to. Entropy, we entreat you! Stop the Things!)

@moonrabbit @herissonrose i made this exact same comment some years ago... *giggle*

@Starry1086 @moonrabbit Both are correct! So it was probably a joke/pun for real.

SO MANY cows around here.

It's not wrong.

My town name is funny as well, but that would doxx me..

@herissonrose @Starry1086
our hamlet name is only funny/awkward the way siri pronounces it 😬
@moonrabbit @herissonrose French pronunciation making sense? Lolololol.
@Starry1086 @herissonrose
we leave siri on english sometimes bc the french pronunciation is just so ridiculous. there was one place near where we used to live that she pronounced "ma bitches" 🤣
@moonrabbit @Starry1086 Oh she would mangle some names around here *hilariously..*

@Starry1086 @moonrabbit French is *mild* compared to English.

They both have a multitude of arcane rules, but at least French words are polite enough to (mostly) stick to them.

Meanwhile, Polish would like to have a word (eldrich-ass, un-pronounceable)

I did German at school for a year. Loved it. Lego-brick language!

@herissonrose @moonrabbit Hard agree with all of this. have been trying to learn Polish on and off for a couple years and it needs more vowels/fewer tongue-twisting consonant clusters. Also the grammar is confusing.

Love lego language though. :)

@Starry1086 @herissonrose
cow counting solidarity!
@moonrabbit @Starry1086 With a sheep deficit, you make do (Moo)
@herissonrose oh goodness that's so pretty

@c0debabe It's a really lovely local walk. Spoiled for them here, everywhere is beautiful!

There's a trail behind the trees, that follows the little river through a beech forest.
