Eye-catching
Stenciled shutters on an Alsatian house in the very pretty village of Eguisheim. There is craft in daubing:
Même à badigeonner, il y a un savoir faire.
Vocabulary
badigeonner: to daub, to paint
un pochoir: a stencil
un volet: a shutter
taper dans l'oeil: to catch the eye
tape-a-l'oeil: showy

What's to love about a stencilled window shutter and pots of geraniums??? My garden, sadly, doesn't have those divine shutters but it does have the geraniums. Beautiful pictures.
