Jardin des Tuileries -- Vert



Green folliage, green chairs, green bottles...



Love the ambiance of this park scene in Jardin des Tuileries: two friends and color coordination all around

  1. Green is lively. Green is spring — nice to be outside, but have a good overcoat handy.

  6. you captured such a lovely moment between these two. They both look so relaxed - they know how to do it! And it works so well with the out of focus greenery in the foreground.

  9. But I wonder if they are not only friends, but also sisters. Their profiles are so similar in many respects.

  17. One thing is for certain about the crazy French people...one will never be able to tell what the weather is like from the way they're dressed!

  18. Le vert est une couleur remplie d'espoir... C'est un anti-stress, elle apporte un équilibre mental...

  19. You forgot 'green with envy'—what I am as I see them there in the jardin! :~}

  20. I guess green was the colour of the day.

  21. Yes, and it's chilly, so they've drawn up their legs, pulled their sleeves over their hands and are sitting in the last rays of sunshine. Not wanting to leave just yet, they are enjoying one another's company while they keep their eyes on the little ones, who are not affected by the chill. Your pictures of people always tell stories, Genie!

  25. Chieftess -- I would love some of those green chairs for my garden and I would have to transport the limestone gravel/soil too!

    Jeanne -- Green just feels so fresh and new in the spring... merci, mon amie

  26. The fact that this is a common scene does not detract from it being an appealing one, which you captured well. The personalities of the two girls and their comfort with one another come through.

  27. Jack -- It seemed as if they had been there for several hours from the empty bottles beneath the chairs. Merci, for all that you notice...

  28. Le jardin des Tuileries est l'un de mes préférés. Grands espaces, jolis massifs, chaises accueillantes. Beaucoup de monde, mais dans le respect de chacun.
    Un lieu propice pour donner un rendez-vous galant...
