I was standing on the terrace last night admiring the evening (the day I confess had been miserable but the evening promised well for the next few days.)

My eye was caught by something that glistened in the evening sun , between us and the town of Cazouls les Beziers and it passed my mind that I may have just spotted the River Orb for the first time from our house.

This morning I got the camera out and there it is unmistakably, a thin ribbon of blue just visible over the red roofs of the village and only at this time of the year because the leafless trees permit.
What richness !
Not only can we see the Pyrenees on clear days but we can see the river Orb in winter.
