Long-time followers will recall how a ‘hole’ mysteriously appeared in the Ferpècle glacier in 2015. Each year since then I’ve been back to see how the hole has collapsed and receded to what it is today.

You can walk along the Ferpècle valley and scramble up a rock slab at the end to get a closer view, but this year I decided to walk up to Bricola, where you can look directly down upon the glacier.

The glacier doesn’t look to be much different from last year, but there was plenty of water rushing down the Borgne as I crossed the wooden bridge. It was so loud, I was drawn into taking a video. (It’s funny how, once you find a ‘feature’ on your camera, you keep using it! 🤔) However, I’ve spared you that today.

      Thanks Brian. I took pictures of a few more butterflies (in the most unlikely of areas) but they may well have been the same as the ones posted. (I didn’t really have time to check). I also saw 3 Swallowtails, in different places, (one in the valley, one on the ascent path and one at Bricola) but I only captured the second of those in flight, which wasn’t good enough to post. I hope you and Mrs H. are settling in nicely to your ‘new’ home.

      Sorry about that. It was just a lot of water crashing along… You didn’t miss much. Maybe next time…? (Got to keep the crowd guessing!) 😉

      You’re very welcome. I’m glad you enjoyed the photos. There are of course many more pictures of this beautiful country on my website, should you be interested in looking back at some of them. There is a list under Monthly Archives, or you can search in the Search box (e.g. “Walk”, will bring up quite a few of my previous walks, either around here or in the UK). Thank you for visiting.

        Sorry to bother you, where is the search box? at the top or bottom of the blog? I can’t seem to locate it, stupid I know.

          No worries… It’s under the About menu option. (I only have 2 menu options, Home and About, to the right and just under the banner picture). Failing that, try this: https://alittlebitoutoffocus.com/about/ Have a great evening and happy searching! 😊 Let me know if you can’t find anything in particular.
